FRESH WATER SYSTEM (page 62)
DO NOT drink water deemed microbiologically unsafe or of unknown
quality.
The weight of holding tank contents in not calculated into the RV
cargo carrying capacity. Traveling with full tanks could cause you to
exceed the individual tire ratings and/or the RV GAWR or GVWR.
Traveling with full tanks can also affect your vehicle handling
characteristics.
WINTERIZING WITH THE ANTIFREEZE METHOD (page 76)
Automotive antifreeze (ethylene glycol) and windshield washer
antifreeze (methanol) are poisonous. Never use these products in
your fresh water system. These products are harmful and may be fatal
if swallowed.
AIR PRESSURE METHOD (page 77)
Never apply air pressure to the water system with any of the valves in
the closed position. Air pressure applied to a closed valve, faucet or
low point drain could potentially damage the seals and cause water
leaks. If you have questions, consult with your RV dealer. Using RV
antifreeze is the preferred method of winterization.
Recommended pressure is 30 PSI. Exceeding this pressure may
rupture water line couplings and void your warranty.
P&T VALVE (page 68)
Do not place a valve between the pressure and temperature (P&T)
valve and the tank. Do not remove or plug the relief valve under any
circumstances.
Valve is not serviceable; if defective it must be replaced.
Tampering with valve will result in scalding injury. Do not place a plug
or reducing coupling on outlet part of valve. If you use a discharge line
allow complete drainage for both valve and line.
Tampering with valve will void the warranty.
BATHROOM TUB/SHOWER (page 70)
Water temperatures over 125°F (49°C) can cause severe burns
instantly, therefore be careful when using hot water. Always test the
water temperature before showering or washing.
BLACK/GREY WATER HOLDING TANKS (page 71)
Never travel with full black or grey water holding tanks. Depending
on the location of the tank(s) it can affect your tow vehicle handling
characteristics.
BLACK TANK FLUSH (page 74)
Do not use the same hose to fill your fresh (potable) water tank that is
used for the black tank flush.

PLUMBING SYSTEM
WATER HEATER (page 68)
Hydrogen gas may result if you have not used the water heater for two
weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE.
To reduce the risk of injury under these conditions, open the hot water
faucet for several minutes at the kitchen sink before you use any
electrical appliance connected to the hot water system. If hydrogen is
present, you may hear what sounds like air escaping through the pipe
as the water begins to flow. Hydrogen gas may be present even after
water has been drained from the water heater tank. Open the faucet
at the sink and allow the system to vent for five to ten minutes. Do not
smoke or have any open flame near the open faucet while venting.
On DSI water heater models, make sure the switch is OFF.
Do not alter the operation or change the design/construction of your
water heater. For your safety, only factory authorized parts should
be used on your water heater. Accessories marketed for recreation
vehicles, such as an "add-on" electric heating elements, are not
recommended by the manufacturer. Such items are not approved
to be installed and could create an unsafe condition and will void all
warranties.
If you smell propane gas then STOP! and follow the procedures listed
in the Propane System Section before attempting to operate the water
heater.
ON DEMAND WATER HEATER (page 69)
Danger of combustion, personal injury and damage to the RV!
Keep the area around the appliance free from combustible materials,
gasoline and other flammable liquids or vapors.
Switch OFF the appliance and gas supply:
•
If you smell gas
•
If anything appears out of the ordinary
•
If you move the RV
•
Before entering a gas station
•
Before entering a tunnel
Danger of over-temperature and toxic exhaust gases!
Use with LP gas (propane) only. Butane or any mixtures containing
more than 10% butane must not be used.
Keep the air inlet and exhaust gas outlet free of obstructions. Do not
lean any objects against the water heater access door or place any
foreign objects within 2 feet (61cm) of the access door.
MACERATOR PUMP SYSTEM (page 73)
Before operating the macerator pump, make sure the external dump
hose is properly attached at the RV and at the dump station. The
hose is under pressure and therefore waste is discharged under
pressure. Failure to follow instructions can lead to possible injury
or property damage. The use of this system for anything other than
intended will void the warranty.
