The Water Pump - SAFARI Trek 2002 Owner's Manual

NOTE: Always use clean, potable water. The water system contains a pre-filter to
prevent damage to the pump and heater; however, this filter cannot make
potable drinking water from an inadequate source. This filter should be
cleaned periodically.
NOTE: Using the external water connection will not fill the freshwater tank unless
the Fresh Water Fill selector valve is open. To allow external water directly
into the coach water system, the selector valve must be closed.

The Water Pump

Your coach features an automatic, self-priming water pump. It is specifically designed to
provide consistent pressure even at the low volumes common in a motorhome. The pump
uses 12 VDC power.
The pump automatically starts and stops to provide constant pressure as faucets are
opened and closed and appliances are used. The manufacturer determines pump settings.
Do not change these settings - doing so will void the pump warranty.
The power switch for the pump is located in the panel with the generator and water heater
controls inside your coach above the entry door. The pump should be turned off when
storing the coach and when using an outside water source through the City Water Inlet.

Outside, pressurized water source
Coach storage
Camping without outside water source
If the system has not been used for a period of time, air collects in the pipes and prevents
pressurizing. The air must be expelled.
Turn on the pump and open every faucet. Close each faucet as water flow becomes steady.
Allow time for the water heater tank to fill as well.
Do not close the last faucet until the heater is full and the flow is free of air. The pump
should then shut off automatically until you again open a faucet.
