hinged to open expose the pump and filter.

The 28 ft. Slide out model pump is located under the curbside wardrobe. It is ac- cessed by opening the hinged wardrobe lower panel.

The 28 ft. W is under the refrigerator. The bottom cabinet panel pulls off for access.

The 30 ft. is under the pantry. Remove the bottom drawer for access.

To clean the strainer screen, first remove the inlet connection from the pump side of the strainer. This will allow the intake side of the strainer to be rotated about 1/8 turn counterclockwise and be removed. The screen part of the strainer will now be accessible for cleaning.

To reassemble, rotate the inlet side of the strainer until stops are felt. The “O” ring performs the sealing and too much pres- sure will only break the strainer.

CITY WATER HOOK-UP

The city water hook-up is located on the side of the trailer.

Use a high-pressure hose of at least ½” diameter. It should be one that is tasteless, odorless and non-toxic designed for RV use. The city water inlet is a standard garden hose thread. We suggest you carry two lengths of hose. This way you have the ability to reach hookups further away than normal, plus you have a spare hose should one fail or become damaged unexpectedly.

After hooking up the hose and turning on the city water valve provided in the park, slowly open a faucet. There will be a lot of spurts and sputtering until all the air is

expelled from the trailer system. If the water heater is empty it will take some time before all the air is expelled and you get a steady flow of water at the faucet. Once a steady flow is achieved at one faucet the others should be opened long enough to expel the air in the lines going to them.

Your plumbing system has a built in pressure regulator to protect your lines and faucets from extremely high pressures on some city water systems.

Caution: Turn the Sureflo water pump off when hooked to city water. A check valve inside the pump protects water flowing back to the fresh water tank. See optional pump directions below. The optional Aquatec pump can be turned on

while hooked to city water.

 

Aquajet Pump (Optional)

F

Water pressure at some campgrounds may be low. The water pump can be turned

 

on to assist the city water hookup pressure. Be sure there is some water in the fresh

 

water tank. The pump will only use the water that is needed out of the tank to bring

 

the pressure up to the usual standard. The water pump should be turned off when the

 

trailer is left unattended.

 

DRAIN VALVES SAFARI

 

The 16 foot Bambi has 2 valves under the trailer, behind the roadside tire for hot and

 

cold water lines and two others are located under the roadside dinette seat for the

 

pump and water tank.

 

19 foot. Bambi - Line drain valves are located in two different places. Two are located

 

under the rear bed and access has been provided in the bed top under the mattress.

 

(If you are long and lanky, they can be reached through the exterior storage compart-

 

ment.) The other two line drain valves are located under the roadside dinette seat. The

 

water tank drain valve is also located under the same roadside dinette seat.
