The RV toilet in your Airstream is a design that has been used for many years.
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.
CAUTION
: 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.
MAINTENANCE
If the bowl-sealing blade does not operate freely after extended use, it may be restored to its original,
smooth operating condition by applying a light film of silicone spray to the blade. To clean the toilet use
Thetford Aqua Bowl or any other high grade, non-abrasive cleaner. Do not use highly concentrated or high
acid content household cleaners. They may damage the rubber seals.
Winterizing
Draining Method
Disconnect water supply line at water valve. Completely drain the water supply line before winter storage.
CAUTION
: To avoid damage, when using air pressure to blow water from the lines, be sure toilet
valve is in the open position.
CAUTION:
If water is frozen in the toilet, do not attempt to flush until with the ice thaws.
CAUTION
: Never use automotive type antifreeze.
