5. Allow enough time for the tank to drain completely.
Rinse and flush the tank and drain hose through
the toilet with a bucket of water or a hose.
6. When the tank flow stops, push the handle in to
close the valve.
7. Pull the handle for the grey water holding tank.
Repeat steps 4 through 6. This tank is dumped
last to aid in flushing the outlet and drain hose.
8. Remove the sewer hose and replace the outlet
cap.
9. Rinse out the sewer hose with fresh water and
remove the sewer hose from the dump station.
10. Replace sewer or dump station cover(s).
11. Store the sewer hose.
NOTE: To facilitate draining, the camper should be
slightly higher in the front and raise the passenger
side of the camper to drain towards the driver’s side.
If you are parked at a site with a sewer hookup, keep
the black water knife valve closed to allow the waste
level to build up. The outlet will probably clog if you
leave the knife valve open continually. Run enough
water into the tank to cover the bottom. This will aid
the break up of solid wastes. The gray water knife
valve may be left open.
HOLDING TANK CARE/ MAINTENANCE
Since holding tanks don’t rely on any sophisticated
mechanical devices for their operation, they are
virtually trouble-free. The most common problem is
also an unpleasant one, clogging. You can minimize
chances of clogging by keeping the following
considerations in mind:
•
Keep the black water tank knife valve closed. Be
sure to cover the tank bottom with water after
dumping.
•
Movement while driving will help liquefy the solids.
•
Use only toilet tissue formulated for use in septic
tank or RV sanitation systems.
•
Keep both knife valves closed and locked, and the
drain cap tightly in place when using the system
on the road.
•
Use only cleaners that are approved for use in
septic tank or RV sanitation systems.
•
Use a special holding tank deodorant chemical
approved for septic tank systems in the black and
gray water holding tanks. These chemicals aid the
breakdown of waste and make the system much
more pleasant to use.
•
Do not put facial tissue, paper, grease, ethylene
glycol-based or other automotive antifreeze,
sanitary napkins or household toilet cleaners in
the holding tanks.
•
Do not put anything solid in either tank that could
scratch or puncture the tank.
If the drain system does get clogged:
Use a hand-operated probe to loosen
stubborn accumulations.
Seriously clogged P-traps may require
disassembly. Be careful not to over tighten
when reassembling.
Do not use harsh household drain cleaners. Do not
use motorized drain augers.
Sometimes the holding tank valve will get clogged. In
this case, a hand-operated auger may be necessary.
Be ready to close the valve quickly once the clog is
cleared. If the seal gets damaged, it must be replaced.
BLACK TANK FLUSH
With the knife valves open, attach a garden hose to
the tank flush inlet located on the driver side skirt
area. The inlet connects directly to the flushing system
to flush your black holding tank. A jet head placed in
the tank is designed to spray water in a fan like pattern
will give maximum coverage to flush tank and clean
probes of the majority of residue. Turn on the water
supply to the garden hose and allow the water to run
for approximately three minutes to flush tank. Turn off
the water supply, disconnect the hose and close the
knife valves.
CAUTION Do not use the same hose you use for
filling the potable water tank or for the connection to
the city water inlet. Use a different hose to insure that
you will not contaminate your fresh water supply.
