To flush the toilet push lever down all the way, hold for 4-8 seconds and release
lever. Push thumb lever on hand spray water saver to direct spray toward desired area
of bowl while flushing. If additional water is needed in bowl, raise flush lever to add
water.
Water is retained in bowl using a sealing blade attached to the foot pedal. If the
sealing blade does not move freely after extended use apply a light film of silicone spray
on blade. If toilet water is running, blade could be partially open or sealing groove of
blade could be clogged. Clean seal groove, taking care not to damage rubber seals.
To clean toilet use any good quality non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid highly concen-
trated or acidic household cleaners which might damage rubber seals.
Proper Waste Disposal
Most state parks have strict regulations about discharging wastes except into
authorized disposal systems. Dumping raw sewage from toilet holding tanks except at
authorized dumping stations is universally prohibited. Illegal dumping along roadside by
a minority of recreational vehicle users has resulted in tough laws, and has unfairly
labeled all camping vehicle trailers as unwelcome in some areas. Most states, national
and private parks have either a central dump facility or campsite hook-up for sewage.
You will find a list of dumping stations from coast to coast in Woodall’s Campground
Directory, Trailer Life’s RV Campgrounds and Services Directory, Rand McNally’s
Campground and Trailer Park Guide, Good Sam Park Director (Good Sam Club), and
other publications. Some major oil companies offer dump facilities at selected stations.
Plan ahead, and you will find few inconveniences in proper and legal disposal of holding
tank wastes.
Waste Holding Tank - Gray Water
Waste water tank is located under the floor. Waste tank stores sinks and shower
drain water. Chemical is not required in this holding tank.
Sewage Holding Tank - Black Water
The sewage holding tank is located directly beneath the toilet. Before using the toi-
let you need to treat the holding tank with water that is mixed with an odor controlling
chemical. Chemical is readily available at any RV supply store. Be careful not to spill
chemical on your hands, clothing, or carpet; chemical can cause a permanent stain. To
