controls flushing and the
flow of water into the bowl.
• To add water to the toilet
before using, lift the flush
lever until the desired
water level is reached.
(As a general rule, more
water is required only
when flushing solids.)
• To flush the toilet, push
the lever all the way
down until the sewage
leaves the toilet.
• Release the flush lever. A small amount of water should
remain in the bowl.
Be sure to hold the flush lever down long enough to release
the contents of the bowl, but not longer than necessary as
this will result in excessive water usage.
Unnecessary, frequent flushing of the stool will quickly
deplete your fresh water supply and fill your holding tank. If
the black water tank becomes full, you will no longer be able
to flush the stool until the tank can be drained. Be sure all
occupants and guests understand this operation.
Always use deodorizing agents specifically designed for use
in holding tank systems and a good biodegradable tissue
paper. These products are available directly from your dealer
or any store that sells camp supplies.
NEVER
use chlorine or caustic chemicals such as drain
openers or laundry bleach in your toilet.
NEVER
allow foreign objects (non-dissolving items) to be
flushed through the toilet.
Don’t allow a problem to go unsloved. As soon as you detect
a problem, take the necessary steps to correct it. It is also a
good idea to carry a few spare parts that will correct a small
problem that may develop. These parts can be obtained
from your dealer or larger campground stores. Refer to the
toilet manufacturers’ information in your Owner’s packet
to determine which part you may need, it’s correct name
and part number. (If you have a different toilet than the one
described, follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for
cleaning and maintenance.)
WATER SYSTEM WINTERIZATION
When storing your recreational vehicle through periods of
freezing weather, in an unheated environment, it will be
necessary to winterize the water system. Damage to water
system components will result if the proper winterization
steps are not taken.
NOTE:
Before using the compressed air method, you will
need a special adapter known as a blowout plug. This plug
allows compressed air to be delivered through the city water
3.) Attach the other end of the flexible drain line to the dump
station inlet. Be sure both ends of the flexible drain line
are securely attached.
4.) Drain the black water tank first, by pulling the termination
valve handle toward you. Be sure to allow sufficient time
for the tank to completely drain, then rinse the tank with
several gallons of water by depressing the stool pedal or
hand flush handle. Close the valve on the stool and let
it fill before releasing to the tank. This creates additional
force to flush the tank more completely.
5.) Drain the gray water tank by pulling the termination valve
handle toward you. Draining the gray tank last uses the
soapy water in the tank to rinse the drain and flexible
hose.
6.) When tanks are emptied, close termination valves by
pushing handles back to closed positions.
7.) Remove flexible drain hose and wash it thoroughly with
clean water. Remove the other end from the dump station
inlet and replace it in its storage compartment. Secure the
sewer hose storage cover, and replace the caps on both
the recreational vehicle outlet and the dump station inlet.
Bright
Idea
Follow these guidelines to help
ensure trouble-free operation:
• Never put anything in black water tank
other than biogradeable RV toilet paper.
• Do not put automotive antifreeze,
household toilet cleaners or drain cleaners,
or any solid material into the waste water
system.
• Always use chemicals in the black water
system that are made especially for this
purpose.
• When cleaning components of the waste
water system, use cleaners made for RV
systems.
• Always keep the drain cap in place and
termination valves closed.
• After every third time the holding tanks
are emptied, fill and flush both tanks with
clean, fresh water a couple of times to
keep them clear and clean.
NOTE:
KEEPING THE BLACK WATER TANK CLEAN ALLOWS
THE MONITOR PANEL TO ACCURATELY ASSESS THE
STATIS OF THE TANK. ALWAYS REMEMBER TO CLEAN UP
THE DUMP SITE BEFORE LEAVING. NEVER EMPTY YOUR
HOLDING TANKS DIRECTLY ON THE GROUND, OR INTO A
RIVER OR STREAM. DO NOT POLLUTE!
