LUSH
The black tank flush is also called 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 the black water
holding tank by removing debris and
preventing accumulation. There is a check
valve incorporated in the plumbing lines to
prevent back flow. Flush the black water tank
each time the grey and black water holding
tanks are dumped or as needed:
1. Dump the black water tank and leave the
black tank drain valve open.
2. Connect a garden hose from the water
supply source to the “black tank flush.”
3. With the water source turned ON, flush the
black water holding tank until the water
running out of the black tank drain valve is
clear (not discolored or cloudy).
4. Disconnect the garden hose and close the
“black tank drain” valve. Fasten the sewer
hose housing dust cap back on the “black
tank flush.”

OILET
The toilet is efficient and easy to operate.
Generally, more water is required only when
flushing solids. Prior to using the sanitation
system, it is strongly recommended to flush
the toilet several times to release sufficient
water into the holding tank. If there is not a
sufficient amount of water used during
flushing, the waste materials may not
evacuate properly from the drain line to the
tank. Clogged tanks and pipes could
eventually occur.
The toilet system will perform better when
water is run for ten to fifteen seconds after
flushing to ensure that the waste will proceed
to the bottom of the tank. Unlike a toilet in a
home, which may use up to seven gallons of
water per flush, the average recreation vehicle
system uses one to three quarts (1 - 3 liters).
For added convenience and better sanitation
system performance, it is advisable to always
have four to six inches (10 - 15 cm) of water in
the toilet.
To prevent help toilet blockage, always use RV
grade single-ply toilet paper. Do not flush
paper towels, diapers, sanitary napkins or
other foreign objects down the RV toilet.
