Karmann Ontario 580 Instruction Manual - Water Supply and Disposal

Drinking water filler opening

The water container is filled using the lockable 

tank cap on the driver's side of your motorhome. 

Close all discharge valves and taps etc.

beforehand.

The water supply of your Karmann motorhome 

is by means of the built-in water tank. An electric

pump pumps the water to the consumers in

kitchen and bathroom.

Water container

The freshwater level can be monitored on the

control panel (Page 6-1).

Emptying and cleaning

Note

Switch the water pump off on the control

panel, because the automatic pressure switch 

is activated upon emptying the tank and the

pump could be damaged by running dry.

Open the red cleaning cover under the bench

by twisting it.

Location:

Under the rear bench of the Dinette.

Achtung

Only fill the freshwater system with clean 

drinking water! 

Fuel is very injurious to health and even

a few drops of fuel render the entire

freshwater system unusable.

• When the vehicle is being filled with 

fuel by people who do not know the 

motorhome well, make sure that the 

tank openings for fuel and water are 

not confused.

• Always lock the filler openings for 

freshwater.

• If the motorhome is not heated at below-

zero temperatures, then the freshwater 

and sewage water systems can be 

damaged by freezing. Empty all 

containers, hoses and lines if there is 

any danger of freezing.
