chapter. The stool flushes waste directly into the black water holding
tank. The stool uses high velocity water injection to produce a swirl
effect in the bowl. The greatest problem that causes stool solids to build
up in the holding tank is lack of liquids. When using your stool, it is
wise to fill the stool 3/4 full of water. This will help to wash the solids
away from directly below the stool and to ensure complete dumping of
the holding tank. To add water to the stool bowl, lift or raise the flush
lever until the desired water level is reached. To flush the stool, push
down on the lever until the water swirls. A small amount of water
should remain in the bowl.
The stool should be cleaned regularly for maximum sanitation and
operational efficiency. Clean the toilet bowl with a mild bathroom
cleaner. Do not use chlorine or caustic chemicals, such as laundry
bleach or drain opening types, as they will damage the seals in the toilet
and dump valves.
Refer to the toilet manufacturer’s owner’s manual in your Owner’s
Package for complete instructions and a troubleshooting guide.
P-Traps
Each of the sink drains, the shower drain, and the washing machine
drain (if equipped) has a water trap (P-Trap) to prevent holding tank
odors from entering the coach. These traps must have water in them in
order to trap the odors. While traveling, the water may splash out of the
sink and shower drains. While stored, the water may evaporate allowing
an odor to enter the coach. If this occurs, run water from the faucet into
the drain, allowing water to fill the trap.
Black Water Holding Tank
The black water, or sewage, holding tank is located directly beneath the
toilet. Before using the stool, you will need to treat the tank with water
that is mixed with an odor controlling chemical. These chemicals are
readily available at any RV supply store. Be careful not to spill the
chemical on your hands, clothing, or the carpet because it may cause a
permanent stain. Pull the toilet levers forward to allow the chemical to
mix with the toilet water. Continue pulling the toilet levers until at least
one inch of solution is directly under the toilet. Release the levers, and
the waste tank is ready for use.
