pump. The water entering this system will
not fi ll the fresh water tank; a check valve,
located in the pressure line of the fresh
water pump, prevents the water from en-
tering the fresh water tank. Be sure to turn
OFF the fresh water pump at the AC/DC
Panel when connected to the shore water
supply.
Connect this system ONLY to a potable
water system that is safe for drinking.
DO NOT use water that may be of ques-
tionable quality as serious illness or
death may occur.
When you are connecting your system
to a dockside water supply, be certain to
examine all connections and water lines
for any leaks. If any leaks are noted, turn
OFF the water supply immediately and
make the necessary repairs before you
again turn ON the water supply. Remove
any trapped air from the water system by
opening all faucets until the air is exhaust-
ed and there is a steady fl ow of water.
Close the faucets after the air is removed.
Always turn OFF the dockside water
supply source when leaving your yacht
unattended. A leak in the system could
result in fl ooding and may cause your
yacht to sink.
Refer to the WINTERIZATION AND
STORAGE PAGES in the Cleaning and
Maintenance Section of this Owner’s
Manual for the proper preparation and
maintenance of your FRESH WATER
SYSTEM prior to seasonal storage of
your yacht.
