4.8.4 Emptying
The Waste Holding Tank has a capacity of 18 litres and requires emptying when the red light (LED) on
the toilet control display lights up, when the Waste Holding Tank only has capacity for approximately 2
more litres, which is no more than two to three further uses.
Make sure that the blade is closed. Open the access door located outside the vehicle, pull the safety
catch upwards and remove the Waste Holding Tank.
11. Place the Waste Holding Tank in an upright position (Pull-Out Handle at the top, Wheels at the
bottom). Slide the handle sideways - to the front of the tank - until it snaps out of its locked position.
12. Pull the handle up and wheel the Waste Holding Tank to an authorized waste disposal point.
13. Push the handle back into its locked position. Turn the emptying spout upwards and remove the
cap from the spout. Hold the Waste Holding Tank in such a way that during emptying you can
operate the vent plunger with your thumb. To empty the tank without splashing, depress the vent
plunger while emptying the tank. After emptying, rinse the tank and blade thoroughly with water.
▲
Do not seriously shake the tank or use high pressure water cleaners. This may cause
damage to the tank’s interior.
▲ The vent plunger should only be depressed once the emptying spout is pointing
downwards. Prepare the toilet for re-use if required. Slide the Waste Holding Tank into
the toilet and close the access door.
4.8.5 Emptying with Optional Features
14. Waste Holding Tank Multi-Level Indicator: The lower lamp indicates that the Waste Holding Tank is
almost empty; the middle lamp indicates that it is more than half full; when the upper lamp lights
up, the tank needs emptying as it can only take 2 - 3 further uses.
▲
The Waste Holding Tank Level Indicator will flash when the holding tank is not present. In
this case the toilet will not flush.
15. Waste Pump-Out System: When activating the control panel this feature automatically lights up.
When the Waste Holding Tank Level Indicator illuminates, press the Waste Pump-Out button to
pump out the waste from the holding tank into the vehicle’s waste tank. The button will flash while
the waste is being pumped and will stop automatically (after approximately 5 minutes) when all
waste has been transferred. If the vehicle’s waste tank is full, the Waste Pump-Out light will flash
rapidly and no pump-out will be possible until the central tank is emptied. (Check the level of the
vehicle’s waste tank on the vehicle’s central console). After the Waste Holding Tank has been
emptied, there will be approximately 1.5 litres of waste left in the tank. This is normal. Add 2 litres
of water and a correct dosage of Thetford toilet fluids to the Waste Holding Tank.
▲
It is vital that the correct amount of toilet fluid is added to ensure the proper breakdown of
the waste in the holding tank. Only use the system when the tank is full. Using the system
too often on an empty tank can cause damage to the pump, which could cause the
system to fail.
4.8.6 Cleaning and Maintenance
The toilet should be cleaned and maintained regularly, depending on the amount of use. To clean
Thetford toilets, we advise using water and Thetford Bathroom Cleaner.
▲
Never use bleach, vinegar or other powerful household cleaners that contain these
substances. These may cause permanent damage to the seals and other toilet
components.
