2. Turn the water heater by-pass valves
to normal to be sure that water enters
the heater and hot water is available
for motorhome use.
Water from the external supply is
prevented from entering the water
tank and the water pump by means of
a check-valve.
IMPORTANT
After connecting to the exter-
nal water supply, open the
faucets in your motorhome
slowly and cautiously. Air
trapped in the line can cause
the water to splash into the
sink. You may want to drape
a wash cloth over the faucet
to prevent excessive splash-
ing.
IMPORTANT
Some campgrounds have an exces-
sively high water pressure which can
cause problems. It is a good idea to
get a pressure reducer from your RV
center and attach it to your incom-
ing external water supply hose to
ensure safe pressure for your unit.
