SAFETY

BELTS

Study

of

thousands

of

actual

injury-producing

highway

crashes,

reveals

that

in

most

cases

serious

injury

occurred

needlessly

and

could

have

been

avoided

by

the

use

of

lap

belts.

These

belts

have

been

provided

in

seats

of

the

XPLORER

224

for

your

protection.

LAP

BELTS:

The

lap

belt

should

be worn

as

low

on

the

abdomen

as

possible

and

drawn

snugly

across

the

hips.

To

reduce

the

risk

of

sliding

under

the

belt,

it

should

be

adjusted

as

tight

as

comfort

will

allow

WHILE

SITTING

WELL

BACK

AND

ERECT

IN

THE

SEAT.

To

adjust

for

size:

To

lengthen

belt

to

fit,

turn

the

buckle

perpendicular

to

the

belt

and

pull

to

desired

length.

To

shorten,

pull

loose

end

of

belt.

Slouching,

sitting

on

the

forward

edge,

or

lying

down

on

the

seat

should

be

avoided

while

wearing

a

lap

belt,

since

there

is

a

risk

of

sliding

under

the

belt

and

incurring

an

injury.

Never

use

a

lap

belt

on

more

than

one

person

at

a

time.

To

fasten:

Make

sure

the

belts

are

not

twisted.

Push

tongue

end

all

the

way

into

buckle.

Tighten

by

pulling

the

loose

end

away

from

the

buckle.

WHEN

TIGHTENING,

BE

SURE

BELT

IS

RUN

ALL

THE

WAY

OUT

OF

THE

RETRACTOR.

To

unfasten:

Depress

button

in

center

of

buckle

and

slide

tip

end

out

of

buckle.

RETRACTORS:

A

retractor

coils

the

belt

when

not

in

use

and

prevents

it

from

falling

outside

where

it

could

become

wet

or

soiled.

When

using,

be

sure

that

all

of

the

webbing

is

unwound

from

the

retractor.

To

prevent

damage

to

the

door

panel,

do

not

allow

the

belt

to

snap

into

the

storage

position.

WATER

SYSTEM

Your

XPLORER

Motor

Home

has

a

self-contained

water

system

which

furnishes

28

gallons

of

water.

This

plumbing

system

complies

with

the

American

National

Standards

Institute

speci

fications

water

tanks,

piping

and

fixtures

are

approved

with

disposal

outlets

properly

trapped

and

vented.

The

fresh

water

tank

is

made

of polyethylene

plastic.

It

is

rustproof,

odor

less

and

corrosion

proof

to

assure

you

‘of

fresh

tasting

water.

The

water

tank

is

located

inside

your

XPLORER

under

the

double

bed.

This

location

protects

the

tank

from

freezing*

and

road

damage.

*(When

the

inside

temperature

is

above

32°

F.)

A

12

volt

water

pump

is

standard

equipment

and

its

master

switch

is

located

directly

above

the

stove

on

the

“bulkhead”.

TO

FILL

THE

WATER

TANK:

The

locking

water

inlet

filler

is

located

on

the

right

side

of

your

XPLORER

Motor

Home.

Unlock,

then

unscrew

cap

and

fill

the tank

with

a

garden-type

hose.

NOTE:

BE

SURE

THE

DIAMETER

OF

THE

HOSE

IS

SMALLER

THAN

THE

FILLER

HOSE.

CAUTION:

Use

very

low

water

pressure

when

filling

tank.

If

too

much

pressure

is

used

it

is

possible

to

force

water

past

the

hose

connection

resulting

in

a

water

leak.

The

filler

system

on

your

XPLORER

is

NOT

designed

for

high

water

pressure.

1.

Prepare

a

chlorine

solution

using

one

gallon

of

water

and

1/4

cup

of

Chlorox

or

Purex

household

bleach

(5%

sodium

hypochlorite

solution).

Pour

one

gallon

of

solution

into

tank

for

each

15

gallons

of

tank

capacity.

2.

Complete

filling

of

tank

with

fresh

water.

Open

each

faucet

and

drain

cock

until

all

air

has

been

released

from

the

pipes

and

entire

system

is

filled.

3.

Allow

to

stand

for

three

hours.

4.

Drain

and

flush

with

potable

fresh

water.

5.

To

remove

any

excessive

chlorine

taste

or

odor

which might

remain,

prepare

a

solution

of

one

quart

rinegar

to

five

gallons

water

and

allow

this

solution

to

agitate

in

tank

for

several

days

by

vehicle

motion.

6.

Drain tank

and

again

flush

with

potable

water.

(Tank

This

is

a

“demand”

type

water

pressure

system

which

is

triggered

automatically

by

the

drop

in

water

pressure

when

you open

a

faucet.

Very

convenient...because

it

is

all

automatic.

Just

open

the

tap

and

the

water

is

there

(when

pump’s

master

switch

is

in

the

“ON”

position).

CAUTION:

The

water

pump

will

not

shut

itself

off

when

the

storage

tank

is

empty.

This

will

drain

the

battery

or

damage

the

pump.

It

is

wise

to

travel

with

the

pump

master

switch

in

the

“OFF”

position,

activating

it

only

when

necessary.

REMEMBER.

•

.TURN

THE

WATER

PUMP MASTER

SWITCH

“OFF”

IF

YOU

ARE

CONHECTED

TO

CITY

WATER

HOOK-UP.

INITIAL_OPERATION

STEP

O1\IE:

Fill

tank

with

water.

STEP

TWO:

Open

all

the

faucets

hot

and

cold.

STEP

TfEE:

Switch

pump

to

“ON”

position.

Allow

time

for

the

hot water

tank

to

fill.

Shut

off

each

faucet

as

the

flow

becomes

steady

and

free

of

air.

With

the

hot

water

tank

filled

and

all

the

air

ex

pelled

from

the

system

shutting

off,

the

last

faucet

-should

cause

the

pump

to

shut

off.

IF

MOTOR

DOES

NOT

OPERATE

CHECK

FOR

THE

FOLLOWING-:

Your

Shurflo

pump

is

equipped

with

the

automatic

reset

circuit

breaker

to

protect

it

and

your

RV

electrical

system

against

over

load.

IMPORTANT:

If

your

pump

motor

stops,

please

allow

10

minutes

for

it

to

reset.

The

motor

should

then

restart

automatically

and

continue

to run

if

a

water

fixture

is

open.

If,

however,

the

motor

continues

to

stop,

requiring

another

few

minutes

to

restart

then

you

should

make

the

following

six

checks:

•

1.

Is

battery

discharged?

2.

Are

wires

di.connected

or

terminals

corroded?

3.

Is

the

switch

in

the

“ON”

position?

4.

Are

any

fuses

blown?

5.

Is

the

pump

head

jammed

by

a

foreign

object?

If

so,

reverse

electrical

leads

for

a

moment..this

may

clear

the

pump

head.

6.

Is

the

water

in

the

pump

head

frozen?

If

so,

use

an

electric

light

bulb

placed

near

the

pump

•to

provide

heat

for

thawing.

CHECK

FOR

LEAKS

We

recommend

a

positive

pressure

check

with

a

pressure

gauge.

This

will

indicate

any

leaks.

A

small

leak

may

become

a

major

leak

while

in

transit

or

in

use.

Even

a

small

leak

will

be

detected

in

a

pressure

check

as

the

pressure

will

drop

and

recycling

will

occur

(pump

com

ing

on

and

going

off

without

water

being

drawn

from

any

of

the

fixtures.

IF

PUMP

RUNS

BUT

WATER

DOES

NOT

FLOW

CCK

TI

FOLLOWING:

1.

Does

the

water

tank

have

sufficient

water?

2.

Are

there

kinks

in

the

inlet

hose

to

the

pump?

3.

Is

air

leaking

in

at

the

inlet

fittings?

If

so,

apply

or

tighten

clamps.

4.

Is

there

a

clogged

line?

5.

Are

wires

crossed

reversing

the

direôtion

of

the

pump?

IF

THE

PUMP

RUNS

BUT

THE

WATER

S

PUTTERS

Air

is

getting

into

the

lines.

Check

or

add

clamps

on

the

imput

side

of

the

pump.

Now

restart

the

pump

allowing

time

for

the

air

to

clear

from

the

lines.

If

it

is

the

hot

water

line

allow

more

time

to

clear

due

to

the

water

capacity

of

the

hot water

heater.

IF

PUMP

CYCLES

(Pump

goes

on

and

off

in

short

intervals

even

though

no

outlets

are

turned

on).

This

means

that

there

is

a

leak

in

the

water

system

somewhere.

Most

likely

the

leak

is

in

the

lines

and

there

is

nothing

wrong

with

your

pump.

Check

all

fittings

and

joints.

Correct

any

leaks

no

matter

how

small.

Check

faucets

and

especially

the

toilet

valve.

If

no

leaks

can

be

detected

shut

the

pump

off.

Remove

the

output

hose

where

it

joins

the

main

plumbing

line.

Insert

a

plug

in

the

end

of

the

output

hose

and

clamp

it.

(You

can

make

a

perfect

plug

from

a

barb

fitting

with

a

cap

screwed

on

the

threads).

Turn

the

switch

on.

The

pump

should

come

on

for

a

few

seconds

and

shut

it

self

off.

If

it

remains

off,

the

problem

is

not

in

the

pump.

It

is

in

the

system.

It

may

be

that

the

hot water

tank

is

holding

air.

As

this

air

is

absorbed

by

the water

the

pressure

goes

down

turning

the

pump

on.

Try

bleeding

the

hot

lines

again.

IF

PUMP

DOES

NOT

SHUT

OFF

If

pump

will

not

shut

off,

then

turn

wall

switch

off.

A

low

battery

charge

can

prevent

the

pump

from

shutting

off.

To

correct

this,

charge

the

battery.

If

the

energy

source

is

OK

and

there

are

no

leaks,

then

remove

the

output

hose

and

check

pump

out

as

outlined
