power pole or running the RV engine.
A 13+ volt reading on the solar controller or CHRG/C on the monitor
panel indicates that charging is occurring. It may take in excess of
four hours to fully charge the coach battery.
WATER PUMP SWITCH
The water pump switch provides access to the water from the fresh
water tank. Anytime water is not required turn the water pump
switch OFF. It is normal to hear a noise from the water pump when
it is in use.
CAUTION
Make sure there is water in the fresh water tank before
using the water pump. Running the pump with no water can
lead to damage and may render the system inoperable.
