Black Water Tank:
Before initially operating the toilet, treat
the sewage holding tank with a pre-charge
of water and an odor-control chemical
(available at most RV supply stores). First,
add approximately three gallons of water to
the holding tank. Next, mix the chemicals, in
accordance with the manufacturer instructions,
with approximately one gallon of water. Pour
mixture through toilet to the holding tank.
Be careful not to spill the chemical on hands,
clothing, toilet bowl or carpet. Hot weather
conditions may require adjusting the amount
of chemical used to control odor. Repeat the
chemical pre-charge to the holding tank each
time the tank is cycled.
WARNING
Most chemical mixtures for holding
tank odor control are poisonous.
Follow the product manufacturer’s
directions and warnings’s when using
holding tank additive. Do not use
any products that contain petroleum
distillate or ammonia in place of RV
odor controlling chemical. Petroleum
distillate or ammonia will damage the
ABS plastic holding tanks and seals.
Waste Drain Hose
A flexible three-inch sewer hose attaches
between the termination drain and the shore
facility. Sewer hoses usually come in 10 or 20
foot lengths.
The shore fitting for the sewer hose may be a
three or four-inch, male or female thread pipe;
or a four-inch pipe with no threads, covered
by a metal plate. Different style of adapters
are available to fit most configurations. Hose
ladders may also be purchased to support the
hose.
It is important that the hose remains secure.
Always tighten clamps and restraining
devices before use . Lay the sewer hose inline
between the termination drain and the shore
fitting. Restrain the hose to prevent movement
during use. Wear protective and/or disposable
gloves when handling the sewer hose.
To Attach the Sewer Hose:
Remove termination cap. Align coupler
tangs with termination tabs. Twist
coupler clockwise 90º locking coupler
to termination drain.Attach other end
of sewer hose to shore facility. Restrain
hose to prevent movement during use.
Open the liquid waste drain (grey
water) valve.


The solid waste drain
(black water) valve remains
closed until the tank is full
or until time of departure to
help prevent clogging. Use
the outside faucet or shower
attachment for washing or
rinsing the sewer hose after dumping the black
tank.
NOTE
Use care when connecting the sewer
hose adapter to the termination drain
in cold weather.
NOTE
Close the grey
water valve 24
hours prior to
departing to
allow the tank
to fill with
liquid to help in the dumping process.
LUBE
Periodically lubricate the O-ring on
the sewer hose adapter with silicone
spray.
Draining the Tanks
The waste holding tanks should be full or
nearly full prior to draining to help evacuate
the tanks more efficiently.
To Drain the Tanks:
1. Attach sewer hose to termination
drain and shore facility.
