DRAINING THE WASTE HOLDING TANKS
1.
Open the sewer compartment door on the driver side.
This will expose the sewer dump outlet. Press in
the black and gray dump valve handles to ensure the
valves are closed. Remove the black termination cap.
2. Locate the sewer hose in its compartment under the
running board, next to the dump outlet. Connect the
sewer hose to the drain outlet, and put the opposite end
into an appropriate sewer dump outlet.
NOTE:
Dump your black water first to allow your gray water
to flush the black water through the hose.
3. Open the termination valve on the black water holding
tank (black handle). Once this tank is empty, open the
valve for the gray water holding tank (gray handle).
A garden hose may be left running into the toilet with the
valve open to further rinse the tank and sewer hose.
4. Close the termination valves and replace the cap.
Rinse and replace your sewer hose back in its
compartment.
5. Deodorize the empty tank by adding one US gal of
water mixed with commercial holding tank deodorizer to
the tank.
NOTE:
If the black water holding tank is allowed to overfill,
the overflow may back up through the toilet drain.
If the
gray water tank is allowed to overfill, the overflow may back
up through the shower drain.
NOTE:
If you are using a sewer hookup in a RV park,
keep the valve closed until the holding tank is at least
partially full, then drain. The large quantity of waste flow
will provide more effective drainage and reduce tank
stoppages.
NOTE:
Before using your black water holding tank,
deodorize it by adding one US gal of water mixed with
commercial tank deodorizer through the toilet.
