The two grey tank drain valves and one black tank drain valve (also called dump valves) are located in the outside
utility center and/or below the skirt metal on the street side of your RV. Always drain the black water holding tank
first so the following grey tank waste water can help rinse any solids or debris from the dump outlet and sewer hose.
1. To make drainage easier, level the RV.
2. Locate the Sewer Outlet Connection and remove the sewer hose housing dust cap, and attach your sewer hose
(customer supplied).
3. Place the other end of the sewer hose into the approved dump station.
4. Open the black tank dump valve by carefully pulling it out towards you (close it by pushing it shut when the
black water holding tank is emptied).
5. Similarly, open each grey tank dump valve (one at a time) and close it after each grey holding tank is emptied).
6. Remove, clean and store the sewer hose.
7. Close the sewer hose housing dust cap.
You can locate many dump stations throughout the United States and Canada in Woodall’s, Rand McNally Camp
Guide, Good Sam Camp Guide, KOA Kampgrounds Camp Guide and various other publications. Some fuel stations
also have dump stations. Please contact your dealer for assistance in the purchase and installation of a sewer hose or
sewer hose extension (if needed).

The black tank flusher is designed to rinse the interior of the black (waste) tank. A separate water hookup is located
in the docking station. Also See Page 122, Nautilus P1 Manual or Page 134, Nautilus P2 Manual
To flush the tank after dumping:
1. Leave the sewer hose connected to the outlet pipe. Ensure that it is routed to the dump station inlet.
2. Attach a garden hose to the black tank flusher inlet.
DO NOT use your fresh water hose.
3. Be sure the black tank gate valve is in the OPEN position.
4. Open the water supply to full pressure to flush tank.
5. When the water runs clear from the sewer hose, shut off the water supply and disconnect the garden hose from
the water source.
6. Do not disconnect hose from flush inlet until all water has drained from the system.
DO NOT add any check valves to this system or leave any hose connected when not in use.
