Water: Services - Auto-Trail Motorhome Handbook

9.WATER: SERVICES

The motor home is equipped with
an under-floor fresh tank, which is
insulated on the Frontier range.This
is filled through the filler cap below.
To fill:
• Remove the cap and insert a
suitable length of pipe.
• Connect the other end to a
clean water supply.
• Fill until the water level rises up
the filler pipe.
• Replace the cap, lock and
remove the key.
• Use only food and drug quality
pipe.
The water system fitted in the
motor home is kept supplied with
fresh tank by a self priming and
cancelling automatic pump.
This pump is fitted with a filter to
ensure trouble free running.This
must be cleaned periodically so
there is no reduction of flow. It is
unlikely that the pump will need
attention between services.
However, if it does, you should
contact your Auto Trail dealer who
will carry out any repairs.They will
also handle any regular servicing.
The pump is controlled from the
electrical systems distribution panel,
which is located inside the vehicle.
This pump automatically pressurises
the system.When a tap is turned
on, water flows from it and at the
same time the pump maintains a
predetermined pressure prior to
shutting off.
Caution: Damage may occur if
the pump is allowed to freeze or
run dry.
If the water pump runs for more
than 5 - 10 seconds after you have
closed all the taps, it is possible that
there is a leak in the system.This
should be checked.
If you are experiencing problems
contact your Auto-Trail dealer who
will be glad to assist.
Note: Always switch the pump
off at the control panel when
leaving the vehicle.
