The Waste Water System; Toilet; Toilet Maintenance - Fleetwood Bounder 1987 Owner's Manual

• Check the fuse. The water pump fuse is located
on the electrical converter panel. If it is blown,
there is a reason for it. Check the pump wiring
for shorts. Do not replace the pump fuse with a
fuse rated for more than
10 amps.
• Check for disconnected or corroded wires or ter-
minals. Clean and reconnect if necessary.
• In cold weather, check for pump freeze up. If
water is frozen in the pump, thaw it by placing
a lighted bulb near the pump head. DO NOT USE
A TORCH OR OTHER OPEN FLAME.
Pump motor runs but no water flows
• Be sure there is water in the fresh water tank.
Check level at the monitor panel. See MONITOR
PANEL.
• Check inlet and outlet hoses and fittings. Look
for kinked or collapsed hoses, or loose clamps
that could be letting air into the system. Avoid
storing anything in the water pump area. A heavy
item could flatten a hose or damage the inlet or
outlet hoses and fittings.
Pump runs but water sputters
• This is normal after an initial filling of the fresh
water tank and lines. It should stop after a few
seconds.
• If sputtering continues, the water rank may be
almost empty. Add water if necessary.
• If sputtering continues, check for air leaks in the
inlet side of the pump.
Pump';,cycles on and off when aU faucets are closed
• CheCk for leaks in the water lines.
• Be sure tank drain valves are tightly closed.
• The pump may have an internal leak. Refer pump
repairs to an authorized Fleetwood RV Service
Center.
Pump does not shut off
• Water tank may be empty.
*
Check battery condition. A low battery will allow
the pump to run'but not develop enough pressure
to shut' off.
• The pump switch mechanism 'may be' stuck.

The head may be cracked. This can be caused
by stress failure, but is more likely caused by
water freezing' in the pump head. Refer repairs
, to an authorized Fleetwood RV Service Center.
Pump does not prime
• Water tank may be empty.
• Filter may be clogged.
• Inlet hoses may be kinked or collapsed.
• Failure to prime may be caused by internal pump
valve failure or foreign material lodged in a valve
seat. These conditions require pump disassem-
bly. Refer these repairs to an authorized Fleet-
wood RV Service Center.
THE WASTE WATER SYSTEM
The waste water system in your motor home is made
up of sinks, tub, shower, toilet, plumbing drain and vent
lines, a "gray water" holding tank and a "black water"
holding tank. The holding tanks make the system com-
pletely self-contained and allow you to dispose of
waste water at your convenience. A flexible sewer
hose is required to connect the holding tank outlet to
the inlet of an approved waste water dump station or
sewer system.
The drain plumbing is very similar to that used in
your home. The system is trapped and vented to pre-
vent waste gases from backing up into the motor
home. The drain plumbing is made of ABS plastic, and
is durable and resistant to most chemicals. All drain
plumbing except the toilet connection terminates in
the gray water holding tank. The toilet is mounted on
the black water tank and flushes directly into it.
Toilet
Your motor home is equipped with a marine-type
toilet.
To operate the Aqua MagiC IV:
• To flush, pull the black
lever
located on the right
side of the toilet forward until rinse clears the
bowl, then release the lever slowly.
• The water fill lever (white lever) can be operated
Independently of the flush to adjust the level of
water in tlJe bowl.
