Select coaches equipped with a Sanicon macerator
may have a valve to shut off the waste flow to the
macerator drain hose. This valve can be shut off when
using the larger gravity drain to prevent pressure
and waste in the small hose when not in use or in the
event that the small hose develops a leak. However,
this valve must be open if you plan to use the
macerator drain hose. You must open the valve prior
to turning on the macerator.

How To Drain The Waste
Water Holding Tanks
The holding tanks should only be drained when they are
at least three-fourths full, to provide sufficient water to
allow the complete flushing of waste materials in the drain
lines and hose. If the tanks are not three-fourths full, add
enough water to allow for sufficient flushing. Whenever
possible, drain the holding tanks prior to traveling. The
carrying capacity of your unit will be reduced if water is
left in the black or gray tanks.
To empty the waste water tanks, follow the procedure
below, depending on the type of waste system your
coach uses. It is recommended to drain the black water
tank before the gray water tank. The holding tank valves
may be operated via a tank gate valve (t-handle) or an
electric dump valve switch (when equipped).
DRAINING THE WASTE WATER TANKS
ON A COACH WITH A STANDARD
GRAVITY DRAIN AND DUMP SYSTEM
1. Connect the adapter to the drain hose.
2. Unscrew the drain cap, and connect the hose with
the adapter to the drain fitting. Support the hose as
needed for optimal flow.
3. Open the gate valve all the way by pulling on the
T-handle. The tank will start to drain as soon as the
T-handle is pulled.
4. After you have drained the black water tank,
immediately drain the gray water tank, allowing the
water from the gray tank to wash the black water
residue from the drain lines and hose.
5. When both of the tanks are empty, flush them with
fresh water before you close the valves. Flush the
gray tanks by pouring a couple of gallons of water
into a sink drain. The drain outlet is engineered for
quick release of the drain hose adapter.
6. Always close the gate valves and secure the end cap
to prevent leakage while in transit.
7. Add a holding tank deodorant to help control the
odor and break down the solid waste.
DRAINING THE WASTE WATER TANKS
ON A COACH WITH A MACERATOR
WASTE SYSTEM (SANI-CON)
3. Insert the nozzle into the sewer connection.
4. Open the gray water dump valve, and run the
macerator pump for a few seconds to confirm that
the system is operating correctly.
The Sani-Con macerating waste system provides the
following convenient features:
•
Provides a sanitary method for discharging liquid
waste from the RV by easily and quickly emptying
waste-water from the RV’s holding tanks, without
relying on gravity.
•
The macerating system pumps liquid waste from
holding tanks and does not rely on gravity.
•
The macerator is designed to process human waste
and toilet tissue, making the Sani-Con ideal for black
water, as well as gray water, discharges.
1. Make sure the black and gray water dump valves
are closed.
2. Point the hose nozzle upward, and remove the
nozzle cap.
If there is a problem with the connection, or if the
system is not functioning correctly, the macerator
may need to be cleaned or serviced.

!
5. Shut the gray water dump valve, and turn off the
pump switch once you have determined that there
are no problems.
6. Open the black water dump valve, and turn on the
macerator pump switch.
7. Monitor the tank as it empties. The pump will run
louder when the tank is empty.
8. Turn off the pump switch once the tank is empty.
9. Flush the black tank, and operate the macerator
while it is flushing.
10. Turn off the flush system, then turn off the macerator.
11. Close the black water dump valve.
