Monitor Panel
Check your monitor panel frequently. When the MAIN HOLDING TANK,
(BLACK) is completely full, sewage cannot be emptied from the toilet bowl. If
the AUXILIARY HOLDING TANK (GREY) is overfilled, drain water will “backup”
into the tub and cause an unpleasant cleaning job. Never drain the tanks at any
place other than an approved dumping station. For complete instructions on
this panel see section G.
TOILET
The RV toilet in your Airstream is a design that has been used for many years.
There are two pedals. The large pedal opens and closes the slide mechanism,
and the smaller pedal opens and closes a water valve.
In normal use, when you are hooked up to city water, both pedals are depressed
together. This dumps the sewage and fresh water and flushes down the side
of the bowl. Water will continue to run into the bowl for a short time after the
pedals are released.
When you wish to conserve water hold the hand-spray head over the bowl and
hold down the thumb-operated lever. Now when you depress the pedal all the
water is routed through the hand-spray.
NOTICE: When you dump the bowl of the toilet make sure all paper and solids
have cleared the slide mechanism before you allow it to close. Failure to do
so can cause the groove for the slide to become jammed and the slide will no
longer close completely.
If the problem should occur a small nail or bent clothes hanger can be used to
“pick” the material out of the groove.
Please see the toilet owner’s/user manual for warranty and user tips, and
maintenance.
