Important “Don’ts”
·
Don't use facial tissue or regular toilet tissue
in the RV toilet. These will not disintegrate
sufficiently and will often cling to the sides of
the holding tank. Toilet tissue made specifi-
cally for use in RV toilets and holding tanks
is available at most RV supply centers.
·
Don’t dispose of sanitary napkins or other
non-dissolving items in the toilet.
·
Don’t put automotive antifreeze or caustic
chemicals, such as laundry bleach or heavy
detergents into the toilet or holding tank.
These products may damage plastic or rubber
parts in the system.
Cleaning The Toilet
The toilet should be cleaned regularly for
maximum sanitation and operating efficiency. If
an odor is apparent from the toilet:
1. Clean the toilet bowl with a mild bathroom
cleaner. Do not allow cleaners to set in the
bowl for long periods of time to avoid dam-
aging the seals. Do not use caustic or abra-
sive cleaners because it may damage the
plastic surfaces.
2. Dump and rinse holding tank.
3. Add odor control chemical in amount speci-
fied after cleaning and every few days during
use.
4. Remove the water line from the base of the
toilet and clean the screen.
5. If the flush valve becomes stiff after
extended use, it may be lubricated with a sil-
icone spray.Turn the water pump off and
operate flush pedal to drain water from the
toilet bowl. Spray silicone lubricant onto
flush valve inside bowl and operate flush
pedal a few times to ensure free operation.
See instructions in Section 10 to prepare the
toilet for storage in freezing conditions.
POWER ROOF VENT - Bath Area
Some models are optionally equipped with a
powered roof vent in the bath area. A push button
switch for the vent fan is located up on the vent.
The vent dome can be raised and lowered using
the crank handle.
SLIDER WINDOWS
Lift the latch handle straight out from the win-
dow. Grasp the sliding window edge frame and
slide the window to the side. Be sure the latch is
raised before trying to slide the window closed.
Vertical Slider windows have spring-loaded
catches on both sides of the window that pop out
to hold the window in its fully raised position.
Press the catches outward toward the frames
while lowering the window.
PLEATED WINDOW SHADES
Your coach may feature pleated window
shades that can be used for daytime or nighttime
privacy.
Tension Adjustment:
The tension of the pleated shades can be ad-
justed if they become loose and will not stay up
when raised, or they are too tight and are difficult
to raise and lower.
To tighten the tension
, simply wrap the lower
end of the guide cords (on each side of the shade)
