Before using the RV, or after dumping the
grey and black water holding tanks, always
add the proper amount of deodorant to the
black water tank to prevent malodors and help
break down holding tank contents (unless
winterizing).
•
Release one to two quarts (1 or 2 liters) of
water into the toilet bowl.
•
Follow the directions on your toilet
chemical bottle (customer supplied), by
placing the recommended quantity of
holding tank chemical into the toilet bowl.
•
Flush the toilet and allow at least an
additional two gallons (8 liters) of water to
flow into the holding tank.
Waste (grey) holding tank preparation
Remove residue before washing dishes to
keep food and grease out of the pipes. Over
time and usage, grease and residue will build
up in the grey tank. You may notice a foul
odor from food particles in the system, and a
difference in the tank and valve assembly
operation. Periodically treat the grey tank with
environmentally safe holding tank chemicals
to avoid odors from the tank. Avoid using
chemical drain openers that may contain
corrosive agents that can damage fixtures.

The black tank termination valve and the grey
tank termination valve (also called dump
valves) are located in the universal docking
center. They are used to drain the RV black
tank and grey water tank.
•
When connected to the sewer drain line at
a campground, keep the “black water
termination valve” closed until the holding
tank is at least ¾ full. This should provide
sufficient liquid to assist in complete
draining of the black water holding tank.
You want the black water holding tank
nearly full so that weight and gravity will
force the contents of the holding tank to
drain properly.
•
If you are at the campground for an
extended period of time and the sewer
hose is connected to a dump site you can
leave the grey tank termination valve
partially open so it drains as you use it,
but remember to NEVER do this with the
black tank termination valve.
There must be sufficient liquids in the holding
tanks to prevent solids from hardening and
potentially cause obstructions. Repairs due to
improper use of the RV termination valves is
not warrantable.
Maintenance
The termination valves require routine
maintenance. Each termination valve has an
O-ring which seals both sides of the sliding
valve. Contact your dealer for a service
appointment if you are not comfortable
performing this maintenance.
•
If the sliding valve does not close properly,
remove the 4 bolts that hold the valve
housing together. Clean and lubricate the
O-ring and moving parts using a silicone
lubricant.
•
The O-rings must be replaced every few
years as they wear and become aged.

Most states and parks have strict laws and
regulations to prohibit dumping of wastes
of any kind into anything other than proper
disposal facilities or sewer systems. Almost
all privately owned parks offer a campsite
hookup for sewage. 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.
