If
the
water
pump
continues
to
operate when no water
is
being used, there may be a leak in
the
system
or
in
a
faucet.
If
no leak
is
found and
the
pump
continues
to
operate, refer
to
the information provided by
the
water
pump manufacturer for additional checks.
SANITIZING WATER TANK
It
is
suggested
that
your
fresh water
tank
be renewed
periodically using a chlorine solution followed by clear
water rinses.
1.
Prepare a chlorine solution
by
adding
1/4
cup
of
liquid household chlorine-base bleach solution
to
one gallon of potable (drinking quality) water.
2. Add
at
the
rate
of
one gallon
of
this solution
to
the
empty
supply
tank
for each 15 gallons
of
tank
capacity.
3.
Fill
balance
of
tank
with potable water.
4. With
pump
ON, open each faucet long enough for
water
to
run out,
to
remove all air from system and
lines.
5. Allow the system (now filled with chlorine
solu·
tion)
to
stand for
at
least three hours. Before per·
forming
the
following step, provisions should be
made
to
allow for drainage
of
all
water from
the
fresh water tank.
6. Flush
the
piping
by
running water through faucets
for
at
least one minute each.
7. Turn
pump
OFF.
B.
Drain tank and pipes
by
opening
tank
drain valve.
Open each faucet
to
permit water
to
drain from
each pipe.
9. When. the tank
is
empty
and each faucet has been
opened, drained and closed, close the drain
valve.
10.
Fill
system with clear fresh water.
11. Repeat steps
6 through 9.
12. Partly
fill
the system with fresh water and check
the tank and system for taste and odor.
If
a chlo·
rine taste
or
other
traces
of
impurity remain, ac·
complish step 13. If
the
system
is
clear,
go
to
step
.14.
13. Prepare a solution
of
1·quart
vinegar
in
five gallons
of
water and place in tank. Fill the system com·
pletely. Agitate this solution by vehicle motion,
then repeat steps 4 and 5.
14. Repeat steps 6 through 9
to
empty
the
system.
15.
If
the
system
is
to
be used,
fill
with fresh water.
I f not, the system
is
ready for storage.
WASTE·WATER SYSTEM
Your motor home has a self-contained drainage system
in
which body wastes
(that
is,
residue from
the
toilet)
go
directly
to
a holding
tank
and are isolated from nor-
mal
grey water
(that
is, water from sink, shower or
other
fixtures).
All
of
the
plumbing components
in
the
vehicle are usable
even when the drain
is
capped.
WASTE·WATER DRAINING
Body wastes enter
the
plastic holding
tank
to
be re-
9
tained until
the
tank can be evacuated
into
a disposal
area. Refer
to
the
information' provided
by
your
toilet
system.
The holding tank
'should be evacuated
only
at
intervals
since the dumping action
is
more effective
in
removing
solids when the tank
is
relatively full.
DO
NOT
PU
LL
THE HOLDING TANK KNIFE
VALVE
OPEN
WHEN
THE PROTECTIVE
CAP
IS
IN
THE
SECURED
POSI-
TION.
Always assure
that
the
tank
is
evacuated
into an
acceptable sewer inlet
or
dump
station.
To
evacuate
wastes from the holding
tank,
proceed
as follows:
1. Remove
the
plastic sewer hose
from
the
capped
storage
tube
(see Figure 1).
The
hose
has been
compressed for storage
but
will
extend
as needed.
2. Place sewer line over
the
termination
fitting and
secure by tightening
the
"C"
type
clamp
(see
Fi-
gure 7).

3. Place a container under
the
drain
outlet
to
catch
any water
in
the drain if required,
then
remove the
protective cap from
the
drain
outlet
by
turning it
firmly counterclockwise (see Figure
8).
4. Place the plastic termination fitting
over
the
motor
home drain
outlet
and secure
by
turning
firmly
clockwise, being careful
that
the
clips
catch
firmly
to
hold the line
in
place.
5.
Insert the ground end
of
the
sewer line into a
ground sewer
or
dump
station
outlet,
pressing it
firmly far enough into
the
opening
to
be secure.
In
some cases, adapters may be required between
the line and the inlet. Arrange sewer line between
motor home
outlet
and
dump
station
so
that
it
is
free from dips.
6. Unlatch body waste holding
tank
knife
valve by re'
moving wire
clip
or
unscrewing lock screw. Grasp
the handle firmly and slide
the
valve
open
with 2
quick steady pull.
7. Allow sufficient time for
the
tank
to
be completely
drained. Rinse and flush
tank
if necessary,
or
i1
the vehicle
is
to
be stored. When
tank
is
empty
push handle inward
to
close valve. Reset retainin(
clip or replace cap. ,
8. The motor home
is
equipped with a dual (grey
wa·
ter) holding tank, repeat steps 6
and
7
for
the
sec
ond knife valve. This
tank
is
dumped
last
to
heir
flush outlets.
