11.1 Water supply, general
An electric water pump pumps the water from the external water tank to the
individual water taps. Opening a water tap automatically switches on the water
pump and pumps water to the tap.
A canister or the waste water tank collects the waste water.
11.2 External water supply
Using water supply: Open the flap (Fig. 165,1) on the external water connection.
Push both locks (Fig. 165,2) to the side.
Remove the cover (Fig. 165,3).
Fill the water tank with fresh water only.
Water left standing in the water tank or in the water pipes becomes
undrinkable after a short period. For this reason, rinse the water pipes
and the water tank thoroughly with several litres of fresh water before
each use of the vehicle. To do this, open all water taps. After each use
of the vehicle completely empty the water tank and the water pipes.
If the vehicle is not used for several days or if it is not heated when there is
a risk of frost, empty the entire water system. Leave the water taps on in
central position. Leave all drain cocks open. Frost damage to appliances,
frost damage to the vehicle and deposits in water-carrying components can
be avoided in this way.
The water pump will overheat without water and can get damaged. Never
operate water pump when the water tank is empty.
Before using the water fittings, the 240 V power supply must be connected
and the 240 V automatic circuit breaker must be switched on, or the car-
avan must be electrically connected to the towing vehicle. Otherwise the
water pump will not work.
