TASK 12-15-38-613-001-A
Fill the Potable Water Tank System (Aircraft Electrical Power Available)


WARNING: DO NOT DO WORK ON THE TOILET WASTE SYSTEM AND THE POTABLE WATER SYSTEM AT THE SAME TIME. THIS WILL PREVENT CONTAMINATION OF THE POTABLE WATER SYSTEM. SUCH CONTAMINATION CAN BE DANGEROUS TO HEALTH.
WARNING: BEFORE YOU DO WORK ON THE POTABLE WATER SYSTEM, CLEAN YOUR HANDS WITH SOAP AND WATER. THIS WILL PREVENT INFECTION. (CONTAMINATION FROM TOILET WASTE IS DANGEROUS TO HEALTH).
WARNING: BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU USE CONSUMABLE MATERIALS. OBEY THE MATERIAL MANUFACTURER'S INSTRUCTIONS AND YOUR LOCAL REGULATIONS.
CAUTION: MAKE SURE THAT THE WATER PRESSURE IS NOT MORE THAN 3.45 BARS (50.0 PSI). IF THE WATER PRESSURE IS MORE THAN 3.45 BARS (50.0 PSI), DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT CAN OCCUR.
CAUTION: MAKE SURE THAT THE DRAIN VALVES STAY IN THE DRAIN POSITION AFTER YOU DRAIN THE POTABLE WATER SYSTEM IF:
  • THE BLEED AIR SYSTEM IS OFF, AND
  • THE OUTSIDE AIR TEMPERATURE IS BELOW 0 DEG.C (32 DEG.F).
THIS WILL PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE POTABLE WATER SYSTEM.
NOTE: The instructions necessary to fill the potable water system if the electrical power is not available are given in (Ref. AMM TASK 12-15-38-613-002).
