BLACK AND GRAY WATER HOLDING TANK DRAINS
The drain outlet is located on the driver side. It is engineered for a quick-
connect hook-up of either the dust cap with attached chain, or a drain hose
adapter fitting. Always secure the cap when traveling to prevent any leakage
(required by law in some states).
DISPOSAL OF HOLDING TANK WASTES
Strict laws and regulations exist, that prohibit the dumping of wastes any
place other than into regular disposal facilities or sewer systems.
Indiscriminate dumping of raw toilet wastes along roadsides by a minority
of RV users has brought on a rash of laws concerning holding tank dumping.
Empty tanks in a proper dump station.
Almost all privately owned parks have either a central dump facility or a
campsite hook-up for sewage. By referring to
Woodall's, Rand McNally Camp
Guide
,
Good Sam Camp Guide
and various other publications, you will find
lists of many dump facilities at their selected service stations. (Get their dump
station list.) Plan ahead and you will have little inconvenience in proper dispos-
al of wastes.
SERVICING TOILET WASTE TANK
Most of the solid build-up in waste tanks is due to using too little water
and not flushing the tank out properly after each use. If you wish to dump a par-
tially full tank, it is better to fill the remainder of space with water first to pro-
vide the volume necessary for complete flushing.
NOTE:
Never use detergents, alcohols, or strong bleaches to clean the
holding tank as they can cause damage to the plastic tank and drain lines.
TOILET MAINTENANCE
The toilet requires little or no maintenance. An occasional spraying of the
bowl sealing blade with silicone spray will retain the original smooth operating
condition. When cleaning the bowl, use an approved non-abrasive cleaner.
Don't use common household cleaners which have a high acid content as they
may damage rubber seals. Cleaners should be flushed on through the drainage
system and not retained in the toilet bowl or waste holding tank.
To avoid clogging problems with some household toilet tissues, the use of
rapidly dissolving tissue is recommended. (See SeaLand Technical Bulletin in
your owners packet)
See manufacturers manual for operation of your particular toilet.
