connectors, house adaptors and other various

label from the sewer hose dust cap:

For sanitary purposes, you may want to use
disposable non-porous gloves and boots that
can be rinsed off when dumping the holding
tanks.

1. Level the RV.
2. Before connecting your sewer hose
remove the twist-on bayonet dust cap
(also referred to as a waste cap) that is on
the valve assembly.
3. One end of the sewer hose attaches to the
valve outlet with a twist-on bayonet hose
adapter.
4. The other end of the sewer hose attaches
to a sewer fitting for connection to the
ground level sewer. Some sewer fittings fit
loose while others form a gas tight seal
which is now required in many states.
Once the hose is properly connected on both
ends, dumping of holding tanks requires only
pulling the handles of the termination valves
to the open position. Always drain the black
water holding tank first so the following grey
tank waste water can help rinse any solids or
debris from the dump outlet and sewer hose.
Some termination valves may be hard to
access and use because they are low to the
ground and the direction of opening can be
awkward.
5. Open the black tank dump valve (close
the dump valve when the black water
holding tank is emptied).
6. Open the grey tank dump valve (close the
dump valve when the grey holding tank is
emptied).
7. Remove and clean the sewer hose.
For sanitary purposes, never use your
fresh water hose to wash your sewer hose
or related attachments.

8. When not in use, store the sewer hose in
the sewer hose holder and place any
attachments in a storage container (plastic
box or plastic bag). Clean or replace this
storage container often.

The black tank rinse may also be referred to
as a “no fuss flush.” The fresh water from the
garden hose goes directly into the black water
holding tank where there is a “sprayer”
connection located. This allows you to clean
For sanitary purposes, do not use the
same hose to fill your fresh (potable) water
tank that is used for the black tank rinse.
