Water Services - Auto-Trail Excel 620G Owner's Manual

FILLING THE WATER TANK
The tank is filled via a lockable water inlet on the
outside of your vehicle. The inlet is identified by a
blue tap system adjacent to it (either a blue label
or a blue moulding on the filler itself).
The location of the water inlet will vary from vehicle
to vehicle, so please familiarise yourself with its
location before using your vehicle for the first time.
Before attempting to fill your freshwater tank,
please ensure that the cold water drain tap inside
the vehicle is in the closed position.

Freshwater tank
Your vehicle has an on-board freshwater tank that
allows you to carry fresh water with you on your
journey. This tank supplies all of the water systems
inside your vehicle, and the volume is 100ltr.
Water is pumped from the on-board tank by
a self-priming and cancelling automatic pump
throughout the vehicle. The pump is fitted with an
in-line filter to ensure trouble-free running. This
must be cleaned periodically to ensure that there is
no reduction in flow.
The pump automatically pressurises the water
system to a pre-determined water pressure. When
a tap is opened, water flows from it and the pump
switches on to maintain the pre-determined
pressure. When the tap is switched o , the pump
will continue running until the correct pressure in
the system is reached. It will then shut down.
The pump circuit is controlled by the isolation
switch on the control panel.
Please note: If the pump runs on for more than
5-10 seconds after you have closed all the taps, it
is possible that there could be a leak in the system.
This should be checked immediately. Always switch
o the pump at the control panel when leaving the
vehicle.
• Remove the cap and insert a suitable length of
pipe.
• Connect the other end to a clean water
supply.
• Fill the tank until either the water level gauge
reads '100%' or until the tank begins to
overflow.
• Remove the hose and replace the cap.
• Lock and remove the key.
Please note: Only a food or drug quality hose
should be used to fill your freshwater tank.
Wastewater tank
All waste water, excluding the toilet, is piped into an on-board wastewater tank located underneath your vehicle.
The volume of the tank is 100ltr.
When the tank becomes full, which will be indicated by a visible and audible signal on the control panel, the tank
should be emptied via the drain valve on the outside of the vehicle over a suitable drainage point. When the 'tank
full' indicator sounds, there will still be some capacity in the waste tank, but we advised that it is emptied as soon
as possible.
Please note: Care should be taken to avoid foodstu s entering the waste tank when draining the kitchen sink, as this
can cause unpleasant odours to enter the vehicle.
DRAINING THE WATER SYSTEM
It is important that the water system is fully
drained o during the winter months to avoid
freezing, or when the motorhome is not in use
after the last trip of the season. Failure to do this
could result in serious damage to components.
• Open the drain valve on the freshwater tank
to ensure it is fully empty.
• Open the drain valve on the wastewater tank
to ensure it is fully empty (only drain into a
suitable container).
• Open and leave all taps inside the vehicle.

WATER SERVICES

• Open the drain valve inside the vehicle to
empty the water heater and pipe work inside
the vehicle (see diagram below).
• Allow the vehicle to drain in this way for five
minutes, then run the pump to ensure it is free
of water.
