CAUTION
Since .w'!,ter pressures at campgrounds vary, We rec-
ommend you install an in-line pressure regulator (if
not equipped) .at the w.ater supply faucet. This .will pro-
tect the motor homewa!er sysie'm and your supply
hose from excessively high water pressure.
To disconnect the city water:
I. Turn OFF the city water supply.
2: Remove the hose from the city water supply
valve. '
3. Drain and store the hose .
Filling the On-Board Water Tank
,
The on-board fresh water tank can be filled in
two ways: (1) city water pressure or (2) graVity.
l. City water pressure - When connected to
the city water supply as described above,
turn the bypass valve located in the utility
compartment to "Water Tank Fill" from the
"Normal" setting. This will fill the on-
board fresh water tank.
Make sure the external gravity fill connee-
tipn is open (remove the cap) to allow air
to escape from the on-board tank. When
water flows out of this external fill, the on-
board tank is full.
After filling, turn the bypass valve to
·'Normal."
