FRESHWATER SYSTEM

5.1 General

The freshwater system consists of a potable water tank, distribution lines and a distribution pump.
The tank is filled through a labeled deck plate located on the side of the center console. An in-
line strainer located near the pump protects the system from debris.
DO NOT FILL SYSTEM WITH ANYTHING OTHER THAN WATER. SHOULD THE
SYSTEM BECOME CONTAMINATED WITH FUEL OR OTHER TOXIC FLUIDS,
COMPONENT REPLACEMENT MAY BE NECESSARY.
DO NOT CONFUSE FUEL FILL DECK PLATES WITH THE WATER OR WASTE FILL
DECK PLATES. THESE PLATES ARE ALSO LABELED ACCORDINGLY. IF GASO-
LINE OR DIESEL FUEL IS ACCIDENTALLY PUMPED INTO THE WATER OR
WASTE TANK, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PUMP IT OUT YOURSELF. WATER AND
WASTE PUMPS ARE NOT DESIGNED TO PUMP FUEL AND A FIRE OR EXPLOSION
COULD RESULT. CONTACT YOUR DEALER OR THE PURSUIT CUSTOMER RE-
LATIONS DEPARTMENT FOR ASSISTANCE IN HAVING THE FUEL PROFESSION-
ALLY REMOVED AND COMPONENTS OF THE FRESHWATER SYSTEM REPLACED
AS NECESSARY.

5.2 Freshwater System Operation

Fill the water supply tank slowly through the labeled deck plate.
After filling the water tank, partially open all faucets. The freshwater
switch on the 12-volt panel should be on. Allow the pump to run until all
of the air is purged from the system and a steady stream of water is flowing
from each outlet. Next, turn off the faucets one by one. As the pressure
builds the pump will automatically shut off.
When properly primed and activated the water system will operate much
like the water system in a home. An automatic pressure sensor keeps the
system pressurized. If the system has been recently filled or has not been
used for an extended period, air bubbles may accumulate at the pump and
the system may have to be reprimed. Whenever the boat is left unattended,
the freshwater pump switch should be placed in the "OFF" position.
