TREK 2005 Water Systems --- Section 6 • 223
TOILET
Operating Instructions
The toilet operates from either the fresh water tank or city water supply.
The water pump must be turned on or the city water connected. The toilet
flushes directly into a sewage holding tank (black water).
NOTE:
To prevent accumulation of solids below toilet, add several
gallons of water to the holding tank before use.
Toilet Operation:
• Using a foot, lift up the flush lever to add water to the bowl.
Generally, more water is required only when flushing solids.
• To flush the toilet, push the lever all the way down until the sewage
leaves the toilet.
Water flow pressures vary at different locations;
therefore, holding the flush lever down for several seconds
may be required. Release the flush lever by allowing it to
snap back, which permits positive sealing around the
flush ball. A small amount of water should remain in bowl.
NOTE:
Holding flush lever down longer than necessary results in excessive water usage.
Cleaning & Maintenance
Cleaning the Toilet:
The toilet 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 drain opening
types, as they will damage the seals.
Clean out the system by flushing several gallons of fresh water through
with one cup of dry laundry detergent. Add odor control deodorant, in the
amount specified for your holding tank capacity, after cleaning and every
few days during use
CAUTION:
Most chemical mixtures for holding tank odor control are poisonous. Follow the
product manufacturer's directions and warnings when using any holding tank
additive.
