Hook water hose up to docking station and set the plumbing manifold valves to appropriate settings to run water through lines, faucets and toilet. When water from faucets appear clear shut off hose.

Step 6

Open low point drain on fresh water tank lines. (Located near fresh water tank.) Turn water manifold to proper setting to fill tank. Use the gravity fill if your unit does not have a docking station. Run water through the tank until water is running clear, out of low point valves.
