If possible, empty holding tanks before a trip to reduce the gross vehicle
weight. Enough water should be kept in the black water tank to cover the
bottom in order to prevent hardening of any residue that may remain.
Generally, the black water tank should not be dumped until it is 3⁄4 or fuller.
This practice ensures that enough water is in the tank to help flush wastes
into the sewer line. If possible, fill tank to the 3⁄4 mark with additional water
before draining. Never put anything in the holding tanks other than the
normal drain water, wastes and biodegradable products. Paper products,
gum, cigarettes, etc., no matter how small they may be; should never be
placed into either the gray or black tanks.
Dump Outlets
To Empty the Holding Tanks:
•
Remove the two pins from sides of aluminum bumper, and pull the
flexible sewer hose out.
•
Remove the end cover from the flexible drain line and position over
dump station inlet. Make sure drain line is securely attached. Both
drain termination handles are located below the courtesy wash station,
in the compartment (above the water inlets). All of which is within
reach of the flexible hose.
•
Drain the black water tank first, by pulling the termination valve
handle toward you. Make sure to allow sufficient time for the tank to
completely drain, and then rinse the tank with several gallons of water
by depressing the stool flush pedal. Close the stool flush pedal and fill
toilet with water then flush. This creates additional force to clean the
tank more completely.
•
Drain the gray water tank by pulling the termination valve handle
toward you. Draining the gray water tank last, with its soapy water,
helps to further rinse the drain and flexible drain hose.
•
When tanks are emptied, close termination valves by pushing handles
back to closed positions.
•
Remove flexible drain hose from the dump station inlet, using the
shower hose, rinse off the flexible drain line if needed, cap it and
replace it in the storage behind the rear bumper. Secure the bumper
and cap the dump station inlet.
