directions listed below and in the manufacturer’s operator manual.
Toilet (if so equipped)
The toilet is efficient and easy to operate. Prior to using the sanitation system, it is strongly
recommended to flush the toilet several times to release sufficient water into the holding
tank. Generally, more water is required only when flushing solids.
The toilet system will perform better when water is run for ten to fifteen seconds after flush -
ing to ensure that the waste will proceed to the bottom of the tank.

facturer’s recommended instructions each time after emptying the black
water holding tank.
 To prevent help toilet blockage, always use RV grade single-ply toilet pa-
per. Do not flush paper towels, diapers, sanitary napkins or other foreign
objects down the toilet.
 Do not use chlorine (undiluted) or caustic chemicals, such as laundry
bleach or drain opening types, in the toilet system. These products dam-
age the seals in toilets and dump valves.
