Fresh Water Fill
When connecting the motorhome to fresh
water, use a hose manufactured and labeled
“for potable water.” This ensures that the hose
will not avor the water. Install a pressure
regulator at the water source to prevent the hose
from expanding and bursting due to excessive
pressure.
1. Connect one end
of the pressure
regulator to the
water source and
the other end to the
potable hose.
2. Connect potable
hose to the City/
Fresh Water Fill
inlet.
3. Open the
winterization valve.
4. Place the fresh water
tank drain valve in
the closed position.
5. Make sure water pump
is off.
6. Turn the city/fresh
water ll lever to the
“Tank Fill” position.
7. Turn on water at the water source. The
water should be audible as the fresh
water tank lls. Monitor the tank using
the monitor panel located inside the
motorhome or the (optional) monitor
located in the roadside water service
center.
8. Frequently press the “Test” switch and
read the scale as the fresh water tank
lls. DO NOT leave the motorhome
unattended while lling the fresh water
tank.
9. The tank is nearing full when the light
marked “F” illuminates. When the tank
is completely full, water will ow out
an overow tube under the motorhome.
10. Turn off water supply.
11. Disconnect the potable hose. Remove
pressure regulator. Store the hose with
both ends connected to prevent debris
from entering the hose.
12. Return the City/Fresh Water Fill lever to
“City Water” position.
City Water Hook-up
When connecting the
motorhome to fresh water,
use a hose manufactured
and labeled for potable
water to ensure the
hose will not avor the
water. Install a pressure
regulator on the water line
to prevent the hose from
expanding and bursting
due to excessive pressure.
1. Install one end of the pressure regulator
to the water source and the other end to
a potable hose.
2. Connect the other end of the potable
hose to the City/Fresh Water Fill inlet.
3. The City/Fresh Water Fill lever should
be in the “City Water” position.
4. Turn on the water at the water source.
5. The water pump can either be OFF or
ON. It will not affect the water pump to
leave it on.
6. Open each faucet, one at a time, to
purge air trapped inside the pipes.
CAUTION:
Some water sources develop high water
pressure, particularly in mountainous
regions. High water pressure is anything
over 55 psi (pounds per square inch).
Excessive water pressure may cause
leaks in water lines and/or damage the
water heater.
