3. Turn ON the water at the water source. Enter the RV and open the cold water
supply faucets to bleed air from the water lines. When the water lines are
nearly full, you may experience some "air pockets." Allow them to escape
before closing the cold water supply faucets.
4. The water heater will fill first, followed by the supply lines and faucets.
The fresh water connection should be unplugged (i.e., the non-toxic drinking
water hose disconnected) when the RV is left unattended for any amount of
time. If something would happen to the water system, this may help limit
water damage to a smaller area.
To disconnect the city water fill
5. Shut OFF the water at the water source.
6. Disconnect the non-toxic drinking water hose and reinstall the connection cap.
Reinstall the connection cap when the fresh water connection is not being used.
Do not remove the following label from your RV:

You can gravity fill the fresh water system if you do not have access to city water;
however, allow extra time to fill the fresh water system if you are using this
method.
Follow the steps listed above; however, at step 3 put the other end of the non-toxic
drinking water hose into your container of fresh water, and turn ON the water
pump (instead of turning ON the water at the water source.) When the fresh water
tank is full, shut OFF the water pump and disconnect the non-toxic drinking water
hose.
WATER PRESSURE REGULATOR (CUSTOMER SUPPLIED)
Excessive pressure from water supply systems may be encountered in some
parks, especially in mountain regions. Water pressure regulators are available to
protect your 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.
12-VOLT WATER PUMP & SWITCH (IF SO EQUIPPED)
Once activated, the water pump (also known as the on-demand pump) will self-
prime, and provide water. The water pump continues to run until approximately 45
lbs. of pressure is achieved and shut off.
CAUTION
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 water pressure regulator rated for 40 lbs. is
recommended
