Ensure that there is enough liquid in the
holding tanks prior to dumping the waste
holding tanks to provide a smooth flow through
the valve, drain pipe and drain hose. Empty
the waste holding tanks weekly to prevent
stagnation and overfilling.
Black Water Tank:
Before initially operating the toilet, treat the
sewage holding tank with a pre-charge of water
and an odor-control chemical (available at most
RV supply stores). First, add approximately
three gallons of water to the holding tank. Next,
mix the chemicals, in accordance with the
manufacturer instructions, with approximately
one gallon of water. Pour mixture through toilet
to the holding tank. Be careful not to spill the
chemical on hands, clothing, toilet bowl or
carpet. Hot weather conditions may require
adjusting the amount of chemical used to control
odor. Repeat the chemical pre-charge to the
holding tank each time the tank is cycled.
WARNING
Most chemical mixtures for holding
tank odor control are poisonous. Follow
the product manufacturer’s directions
and warnings when using holding tank
additive. DO NOT use any products that
contain petroleum distillate or ammonia
in place of RV odor controlling
chemical. Petroleum distillate or
ammonia will damage the ABS plastic
holding tanks and seals.
Waste Drain Hose
A flexible three-inch
sewer hose attaches
between the termination
drain and the shore
facility. Sewer hoses
usually come in 10 or 20
foot lengths.
The shore fitting for the
sewer hose may be a three
or four-inch, male or female thread pipe;
or a four-inch pipe with no threads, covered
by a metal plate. Different style of adapters are
available to fit most configurations. Hose ladders
may also be purchased to support the hose.
It is important that the hose remains secure.
Always tighten clamps and restraining
devices before use
. Lay the hose inline between
the termination outlet and the shore fitting.
Restrain the hose to prevent movement during
use. Wear protective and/or disposable gloves
when handling the sewer hose.
To Attach the Hose:
Remove termination cap. Align coupler
tangs with termination tabs. Twist
coupler clockwise 90º locking coupler to
termination outlet.
Attach other end of hose to drain
service. Restrain
hose to prevent
movement during
use.
Open the liquid
waste drain (grey
water) valve.



The solid waste drain (black water) valve
remains closed until the tank is full or until time
of departure to help prevent clogging. Use the
outside faucet or shower attachment for washing
or rinsing the sewer hose after dumping the
black tank.
NOTE
Use care when connecting the sewer
hose adapter to the termination outlet in
cold weather.
NOTE
Close the grey water valve 24 hours
prior to departing to allow the tank to
fill with liquid to help in the dumping
process.
LUBE
Periodically lubricate the O-ring on the
sewer hose adapter with silicone spray.
Tank Flush
The motorhome comes equipped with a power
flush nozzle, located in the black tank to help
reduce solids build-up. Flush the black tank
each drain cycle. Failure to thoroughly rinse the
black tank may result in accumulated solids and
a clogged spray nozzle.
Gravity Drain Hose Dumping:
1. Attach sewer hose to terminal drain and
shore facility.
2. Prepare to dump the solid waste (black)
tank first. Close the liquid waste drain
(grey) valve.
3. Fill the grey tank to at least 50% by
running water in the shower or sinks.
