You can locate many dump stations throughout the United States and Canada in Woodall’s,
Rand McNally Camp Guide, Good Sam Camp Guide, KOA Kampgrounds Camp Guide
and various other publications. Some fuel stations also have dump stations.Please contact
your RV dealer for assistance in the purchase and installation of a sewer hose or sewer hose
extension (if needed).
Sewage (black) tank preparation
1.
Release one to two quarts (1 or 2 liters) of water into the toilet bowl.
2.
Follow the directions on your (RV approved) toilet chemical bottle (customer sup-
plied), by placing the recommended quantity of holding tank chemical into the toilet
bowl.
3.
Flush the toilet and allow at least two gallons (8 liters) of water to flow into the holding
tank.
Waste (grey) holding tank preparation
No special preparation is required, however, placing a small quantity of chemicals into this
tank, such as baking soda or an approved RV chemical, will reduce odors from food particles
in the system.
Cleaning and Maintenance
The toilet should be cleaned regularly for maximum sanitation and operational efficiency.
Use only RV approved chemicals. Do not use chlorine (undiluted) or caustic chemicals,
such as laundry bleach or drain opening types, in the toilet system. These products damage
the seals in toilets and dump valves.
It is important to add enough water to prevent solid waste buildup. Follow the
directions listed below and in the manufacturer’s operator manual.
Macerator Pump System (if so equipped)
Your RV may be equipped with a macerator pump system used to discharge waste from the
gray and black waste tank. The system has a 1-1/2 inch diameter flexible hose that runs from
the pump (under the RV) and is stored in an exterior storage compartment. The system when
powered on can discharge waste (uphill if necessary) up to a distance of 150 feet.
Before operating the macerator pump, make sure the external dump hose is
properly attached at the RV and at the dump station. The hose is under pres-
sure and therefore waste is discharged under pressure.
Failure to follow in-
structions can lead to possible injury or property damage. The use of this
system for anything other than intended will void the warranty.
