• Remove the emptying spout cap. Hold the
waste holding tank by the upper handle
nearest to the emptying spout. Hold the rear
handle with your other hand so that you can
operate the vent plunger with your thumb.
Keep the vent plunger pressed to ensure
that the tank is emptied without splashing.
Please note that the vent plunger should
only be pressed when the emptying spout
is pointing downwards.
After emptying, flush the tank and clean
the blade valve thoroughly with water.
Replace the spout cap and slide the
waste holding tank back into the
toilet and close the door.
Your vehicle is fitted with side windows and
sky lights to provide light and ventilation to
your vehicle.
The number of windows and skylights fitted to
your vehicle will depend on the particular model
that you have chosen.
Windows & Blinds
All windows fitted to the habitation area of your
motorhome are of acrylic construction and open
either by means of a top hinge or a slide,
depending on the location in the vehicle.
Luton Windows
The Luton windows are opened by rotating the
two catches 90˚ to release from the locking plate,
the window will then hinge outwards on the
top hinge.
The window can be held in the open position
by means of the locking collar on the
telescopic arm.
Luton Blinds
The Luton window is fitted with a combined blind
and flyscreen.
Pulling the recessed aluminium extrusion
downwards from the top will close the night blinds.
With the night blind closed, pulling the plastic
handle downwards from the top will close the
flyscreen. Opening the blinds / flyscreens is
the reversal of the above procedure.
Main Habitation Windows
Top Hung Windows
The main habitation windows are opened by
pressing the release buttons on the opening
catches and rotating 90˚. This will release the
catches from the locking plates and the
window can be hinged open.
The window stays are of a ratchet type and will
hold the window open at any angle up to 80˚.
To close the window it must be opened to 90˚
(that will disengage the ratchet mechanism)
and lower the window to the closed position.
Rotate window catches 90˚ until they ‘click’
back into the locking plates and the release
buttons will spring out of the catches.
Sliding Windows
To open a sliding window simply release the
central catch and slide the window open to the
desired amount.
