Section 8: Plumbing System
158
Open the hose compartment and pull out the 1-1/2 inch
flexible hose (which can extend to 21 feet) with the at
-
tached dump connector. The dump connector includes
two connections: a small removable cap for attaching a
3/4 inch garden hose, and a larger 3-inch removable cap
that allows it to attach to the sewer outlet at the dump
station.
Using the system
1.
To make drainage easier, level the RV.
2.
Attach the dump connector to the 3-inch sewer outlet at
the dump station (Fig A), or to a 3/4-inch garden hose
and run the hose to a dumping location.
3.
Open the black tank dump valve.
4.
Turn the Macerator power switch ON (switch lights up
red) at the hose storage compartment and the macerator
pump will begin sending waste through the dump hose.
5.
When the tank is empty, turn the macerator power switch
OFF. Close the black tank valve.
6.
Select the gray drain valve.
7.
Turn the Macerator Power Switch ON.
8.
When tank is empty, turn the macerator power switch
OFF. Close the gray tank valve.
9.
Unhook the dump connector, rinse it out and replace
the hose and connector back into the storage com-
partment.
10.
The black tank flush inlet can be used with this sys
-
tem also (refer to the
Black Tank Flush
section).
The
Macerator Bypass Valve
is located underneath the external hose storage box. This by-
pass will allow you to gravity dump the waste from the tanks straight down to a 3-inch sewer
hose connection under the trailer, in the event there is a problem with the macerator motor.
To operate
1.
Attach a 3-inch sewer hose to the main dump connector under the trailer and to a sewer
outlet at a dump station.
Water can accumulate in the flexible hose and dump connector of the macera
-
tor system. When winterizing the RV, antifreeze must be added to the macera-
tor system. Refer to the Winterizing section.
NOTE:
The bypass valve also doubles as an emergency cutoff in the
event of a problem with the flex hose or dump connector. Closing the valve
stops waste flow out of the macerator pump and up to the flex hose, but will
divert waste to the main dump connector under the RV. Make sure the main
dump gate valve is closed until you are ready to empty the black tanks..
