WATER PUMP
The water pump pressurizes the fresh water
system when not connected to city water.
The water pump is self-priming, operating on
demand as water is used. The water pump is
located behind the water service panel. Access
the water pump by removing an access panel in
the pass-through storage bay next to the water
service center.
WARNING:
Before leaving the motorhome for
extended periods of time (i.e. overnight
or longer) be sure that the city water
supply and water pump have been
turned off. Damage from neglect will be
the responsibility of the owner, not the
manufacturer.
The water pump can be operated from the
following locations:
Bathroom/Vanity
Galley
Water Service Bay
Hallway Monitor
To turn the water pump ON or OFF:
Momentarily press the water
pump switch. The indicator
lamp on the interior switch
will illuminate when the
water pump is turned on.
CAUTION:
DO NOT continue water pump
operation if the fresh water holding
tank is empty. Damage to the water
pump or electrical supply system may
result.
To operate the water pump:
Close all drain valves and low point drains.
Fill the fresh water tank.
Open the hot and
cold water valves of
each faucet.
Turn the water
pump ON. Wait for
the water lines and
the hot water tank
to ll.
Close each faucet
when it delivers a
steady stream of
water (cold water
faucets rst).

Water Pump Troubleshooting
Vibration induced by road conditions can
cause the plumbing or pump hardware to
loosen. Check the water pump system for
components that are loose. Many symptoms
can be resolved by tightening the hardware.
Check the following items:
Water pump will not start or blows fuse:
Check electrical connections, fuse
or breaker, main switch and ground
connection.
Is voltage present at the pressure switch
on the pump? If voltage is present, the
pressure switch may be faulty. As a test,
temporarily bypass the pressure switch.
Check the charging system for correct
voltage and good ground.
Check for an open or grounded circuit or
motor.
Check for a seized or locked diaphragm
assembly (water frozen).
Water pump will not prime or sputters
(No discharge/motor runs):
Is the pump inlet strainer clogged with
debris?
Is there water in the tank or has air
collected in the water heater?
Is the inlet tubing and plumbing sucking
in air at plumbing connections (vacuum
leak)?
Check for proper voltage with the pump
operating.
Check the pump housing for cracks or
loose drive assembly screws.
