The TANDEM submersible pump requires no maintenance. Fresh water tank The TANDEM submersible pump switches itself on automati- Fresh water tank cally when the water taps are opened. The tank has a volume of 95 l and is located in the seating arrangement. The tank is filled with fresh water by means of the filler neck on the side wall. The neck for filling up fresh water is marked by a blue cap and a picture of a water tap on the upper edge of the frame. The screw cap is opened and closed by means of the enclosed key for exterior flap locks and the door of the structure.

8. Water The non-electric safety or drain valve will automatically open at temperatures under approx. 3°C and drain the boiler contents via a drain nozzle. If the cold water system is operated without the boiler the boiler tank will still fill with water. In order to avoid frost damage the boiler must be drained via the drain valve, even when not in use. Outlet valve for fresh water tank Emptying the fresh water tank The outlet valve is located in the rear behind an opening in the furniture, directly on the fresh water tank. • To empty the fresh water tank, turn the rotating wheel to the left to open.
Page 130
8. Water • Unscrew the cap on the cleaning port of the fresh water tank (page 125). • Take out the water pump and hold it up until the water pipes have emptied completely. • Check whether the tank, boiler, faucets and pipes have emptied completely. If necessary, blow out any remaining water in the pipes using compressed air (max. 0.5 bar). • Re-insert the the water pump in the fresh water tank and close the openings. • Leave the faucets and the outlet valves open. • Clean the tanks and rinse them thoroughly. Waste water opening • Allow the water system to dry for as long as possible. Emptying the waste water tank • Do not forget to empty the toilet cassette. • The waste water opening is located on the left side underneath the vehicle. • Turn the valve to open it and drain off the waste water. If the vehicle is not being used and there is a danger of sub- • After all of the waste water has been drained off, shut the zero temperatures be sure to drain the entire water system.
8. Water Waste water tank The waste water tank is integrated in the chassis; it is insulated. Optional After the electric waste water tank heating system has been swit- ched on on the control panel, the tank is heated by a heating cartridge. This prevents the waste water from freezing in a light frost (please refer also to the description on p. 78). Do a small quantity of antifreeze agent (e.g. table salt) to the waste water tank if temperatures are significantly below 8.3 Toilet freezing to prevent the waste water from freezing.
Page 132
8. Water • Push the waste tank back into position. • Ensure that the holding bar secures the waste tank. • Then shut the toilet cassette access door. Never add sanitary liquids directly through the valve or into the toilet bowl, because this may damage the washer of the valve in the waste tank. Always add liquids by pouring them through the spout. • Pull out the tank as far as possible, keeping it level. • Slightly tip the waste tank and then pull it out completely. • Set the waste tank in an upright position, turn the spout to the top and open it. Use toilet fluids very sparingly. An overdose is no guaran- tee of preventing possible odours! • Fill the waste tank with the correct amount of toilet fluids. • Then add enough water to completely cover the bottom of the waste tank (approx. 3 liters). • Shut the spout and turn it back to its original position.
