WARNING
Holding tanks are an enclosed sewer system and must be drained into an
approved dump station. Both black and gray water holding tanks must be
drained and rinsed thoroughly on a regular basis in order to prevent the
accumulation of harmful or toxic materials.
Whenever possible, drain the holding tanks prior to traveling. The carrying
capacity of your unit will be reduced if water is left in the black or gray tanks.
The holding tanks should only be drained when they are at least 3/4 full. Doing
this will provide sufficient water to allow the complete flushing of waste
materials in the drain lines and hose. If the tanks are not 3/4 full, add enough
water to allow for sufficient flushing.
To empty the waste water tanks, connect the adapter to the drain hose. Use
the adapter supplied with your unit. If the adapter is lost or broken, one can be
purchased from any RV supply store. Once you have placed the adapter on the
drain hose, it can remain there for the life of the hose. One end of the hose
threads up through the hole in the bottom of the service compartment, and the
other end of the hose feeds into the sewer at the dump station. Unscrew the cap
off the drain. Connect the hose with the adapter in place to the drain fitting.
Open the gate valve all the way by pulling on the T-handle. The tank will start
to drain as soon as the T-handle is pulled. After you have drained the black
water tank, immediately drain the gray water tank. Doing this helps to flush the
black water from the sewage hose.
When both of the tanks are empty, flush them with a fresh water rinse before
you close the valves. The gray tanks are easily flushed by pouring a couple of
gallons of water into a sink drain. The drain outlet is engineered for quick
release of the drain hose adapter. Always close the gate valves and secure the
end cap to prevent leakage while in transit. After draining the black water tank,
it is recommended to add a holding tank deodorant (such as Thetford Aqua-
Kem) to help control the odor and break down the solids. Follow the
instructions given on the holding tank deodorant package.
When using dump stations for draining the holding tanks, please keep other
travelers in mind. Practice good housekeeping. Leave the dump stations in
good order. Above all, do not pollute.
