Dumping The Holding Tanks
1)
First, make sure that dump valve is closed.
2)
Remove the sewer drain cap, attach the sewer adapter and drain hose to the dump valve drain
outlet. Place the other end of the drain hose into the sewer or dump station inlet. Push the
hose far enough into the opening to firmly secure the hose. In some cases, adapters may be
necessary between the line and the inlet.
3)
Arrange the sewer hose so it slopes evenly and is supported to maintain the slope to the dump
station inlet.
4)
Dump the black water holding tank first. Grasp the handle of the black water 3”knife valve
firmly and slide the valve open with a quick steady pull.
IMPORTANT
: always open the
dump valve with a quick jerk to give the desired flushing effect.
NOTE: To avoid pulling
the wrong “T,” it is a good idea to put tape on one of them so you immediately recognize
which one is being opened.
5)
Allow enough time for the tank to drain completely. Rinse and flush the tank and drain hose
thoroughly through the toilet using a water hose for approximately 5 minutes. When the tank
flow stops, push the handle in to close the valve. Add enough water to cover the bottom of
the tank.
6)
When using a sewer hook-up system in a park, it is recommended to keep the dump valve
closed on the black water tank until it is full. This will help prevent accumulation of waste
material that could clog the system.
7)
To dump the grey water tank repeat the steps above using the smaller knife valve. The grey
water knife valve may be left open in a semi-permanent hook-up.
IMPORTANT
: Do not dump both tanks at the same time. Also, it is recommended that you
add several gallons of water to each holding tank to thoroughly rinse the tanks
and drain the hose. If solids become lodged in the tank add water to the tank
and drive with the unit a short distance. The vibration and motion should
dislodge the solids. If an obstruction should remain, contact your Dealer or
RV supply store for a suitable cleaning compound.
8)
After emptying , cleaning and closing the black water tank knife valve, it is recommended by
experts that two toilet-bowlfuls of clean water be added to the reservoir. Two gallons is not
too much.
WARNING!
SEWER DRAIN CAP MUST ALWAYS BE SECURELY IN PLACE WHILE THE VEHICLE
IS IN MOTION. PLEASE PRACTICE GOOD HOUSEKEEPING WHEN DRAINING
WASTE AT A CAMPSITE OR DISPOSAL STATION. LEAVE THE SITE IN GOOD
ORDER.
Holding Tank Care & Maintenance
1)
Keep the black water knife valve closed. Fill tank to at least ¾ full before dumping. Be sure
to cover the tank bottom with water after dumping.
2)
Use only toilet tissue formulated for the use in septic tank or RV sanitation systems.
Standard tissue contains glues that can interfere with the system.
3)
Keep both knife valves closed and the drain cap tightly in place when using the system on the
road.
