Waste water tank
The waste water tank is integrated in the chassis; it is insulated.
Optional
After the electric waste water tank heating system has been
switched on on the control panel, the tank is heated by a hea
-
ting cartridge. This prevents the waste water from freezing in a
light frost
(please refer also to the description on p. 74) .
Do a small quantity of antifreeze agent (e.g. table salt) to
the waste water tank if temperatures are significantly below
freezing to prevent the waste water from freezing.
The waste water tank is not sufficiently protected against
damage from frost when the vehicle is not in use. Therefore,
if there is any danger of sub-zero temperatures empty the
waste water tank completely.
Never pour boiling water down the sink. This can cause
distortions and leaks in the waste water system.
Use the control panel to check the amount of water in the
waste water tank.
8.3 Toilet
Before you can use the toilet, you must first prepare the waste
tank by following the steps below.
Preparing the waste tank
• Open the Thetford door (see 5.2 Toilet flap) and pull the
holding bar up to remove the waste tank.
The waste tank can only be removed when the drain
valve is closed.
• Pull out the tank as far as possible, keeping it level.
• Slightly tip the waste tank and then pull it out completely.
• Place it in an upright vertical position.
• Turn the emptying supports upwards and open them.
