SECTION 8 – PLUMBING SYSTEMS
Sensors installed in the holding tanks connect to a resistor assembly (relaying an
electronic message to the display board). No power is drawn from the house
batteries unless a switch is pushed or turned ON. Fuses for the monitor panel are
located in the fuse panel.
Operation
Press only one "tact" switch at a time. As you push either the "FRESH", "BLACK",
"GREY1" or "GREY2 (optional)" switch, one or more LED lights will illuminate
indicating that holding tank content level. When pushing the "BATT" switch, the
highest LED light illuminated indicates the estimated house batteries condition.

RESH ATER
The fresh water tank can be gravity filled or pressure filled using the fresh water
inlet (called city water). Plastic overflow tubes are plumbed into the fresh water
holding tank to allow water to flow out of the water tank. Occasionally, you may
see water coming from the overflow tubes (located underneath the motor home)
when the fresh water holding tank is filled. This is normal, and is caused by
external circumstances, including the motor home being parked on an incline, or
the motion caused by starting or stopping the motor home during travel.
Be careful not to overfill the fresh water holding tank. It can pressurize the
tank, causing leakage and water damage and void the warranty. DO NOT
leave the tank unattended while filling.
Do not cap, block or modify the fresh water tank overflow tubes in any way.
Enough water pressure can build up during the filling process to damage the
plumbing system if the overflow tubes are obstructed.

ATER RESSURE
Excessive pressure from water supply systems may be encountered in some
parks, especially in mountain regions. Water pressure regulators are available to
protect the water system against such high pressure. Water pressure regulators
(customer supplied) are available from your RV dealer to protect the plumbing
system against such high pressure.
Not using a water pressure regulator when using city water may cause the o-
rings to fail. To prevent damage to the plumbing system or components when
using the city water connection, a 45 lb. (315 KPa) rated water pressure
regulator is recommended.
