Main Line

The main water lines are on the right side of Mike Tony’s cabin (the old cabin with the reddish roof) in a large metal box sunk in the ground.

• Under the lid are two valves. The big one on top should be turned parallel with the pipe
• Do not turn on the lower valve, this drains the water lines

If you still do not have water, check the springs.

Lower Spring

The lower spring has a smaller capacity and will provide less water pressure, but is more convenient and is always full of water.

• Walk up the hill to the left of Mike Tony’s cabin (the old cabin with the reddish roof)
• The reservoir is inside the old corral underneath plywood
• To the right is a metal box with valves. Turn the main valve parallel with the pipe
• 6 inches to the right of the metal box is another valve in the ground. Ensure this is also on

Upper Spring

The upper spring is filled via a solar pump from the lower spring that fills about 1/4 tank per day. This spring runs out of water faster, but has much higher capacity and water pressure. Be sure to check the water level regularly if using.

• Go up the hill behind the cabin, and take a left behind the fence line, left from the generators. The reservoir is at the top of the hill
• Gauge the water level from the wood block that hangs from the side. Lower means the tank is fuller
• The valve is on the back of the generator in a protective box, turn on fully

Small Generator

Only use ethanol-free gasoline. It is available at the Sinclair station in Craig as premium.

The small generator is in the garage on the right hand side:

1. On the wall there is a breaker box, flip all switches up to use the small generator
2. Check the gas by taking the cap off, and pulling the filter out
   • When filling up, double filter the gas. Use the filter in the cap and the black filter funnel
3. Start generator
   • Red Honda: flip main switch to automatic, pull choke out, pull start (should start easily), and push choke back in
   • Blue Yamaha: flip main switch to on, use broken key to turn to start, pull choke, pull start, and push choke back in

Big Generator

Let generator run for at least an hour every time you visit. This makes it easier to start.

The big generator is up the hill in a green shed:

1. Check propane levels and turn on
   • Turn the valve on the far right tank first, then turn valve on the left tank
   • Turn the valve on the gas line going in to the side of the generator house
   • (The valve behind the generator house is not in use)
2. Check oil and water levels
   • For water, use a funnel and the hole at the top to refill
   • For oil, use a long angled funnel from the house garage to fill
3. Connect battery and flip the start switch to turn on
   • If the engine doesn’t start, try jump starting the battery
   • If not starting when jumping, try for a while before giving up
