STEP 3
Operate the water and shower fixtures as you would at
home;
STEP 4
Monitor your house battery bank closely whey operating
the hot water heater as the unit’s 30 amp current draw
will deplete the state of charge rapidly; and,
STEP 5
Turn off the water heater when it is not in use or
expected to be used anytime soon� This will help prevent
unnecessary discharge of the house battery bank�
WARNING
Monitor the house the battery bank state of charge
carefully when operating the 12-Volt DC hot water heater.
Operate the water heater while connected to shore power
whenever possible.
WARNING
Hydroge n Gas can be produced in a hot water system that
has not been used for a long period of time (generally 2
weeks or more). Hydrogen gas is explosive. To reduce the
risk of injury open the galley faucet for several minutes until
there is a smooth water flow. If hydrogen is present, there
will be an unusual sound similar to air escaping through the
pipe as the water begins to flow.

INTERIOR SHOWER, EXTERIOR
SHOWER)
Your coach is equipped with premium quality bath and shower fixtures.

storage tank rapidly� This will also potentially deplete your onboard
fresh water supply more quickly�
warning
warning
To operate any of the fixtures turn on the water pump at the main
Firefly network interface or connect your coach to city water. When
not in use, turn off the water pump and open the faucet momentarily to
allow the pressure to bleed off�
■ TOILET
The American Coach Patriot is equipped with a Thetford Aqua-Magic
®
household style all-plastic toilet with pedal flush. This lightweight
bathroom fixture provides excellent fill and flushing through a single
convenient front mounted foot pedal�
Before using your Aqua-Magic
®
toilet please read the Thetford Aqua
Magic Permanent RV Toilet Owner’s Manual that accompanied your
coach at time of delivery�
Then follow these procedures:
STEP 1
Turn on the freshwater pump at the main Firefly network
interface display to use onboard water, or connect to
city water;
STEP 2
Partially depress the foot pedal to allow water to fill the
toilet. If you press too hard, the flush blade will retract and
the bowl will empty;
STEP 3
To completely flush the toilet, step down fully on the
pedal. The flush blade will retract and the water will rinse
the bowl clean; and,
STEP 4
After flushing you can either leave the bowl dry or allow
about an inch of water to cover the bottom� Keep in mind
that the toilet bowl should always be emptied before
driving to avoid an unpleasant mess in the bathroom�
Before using your toilet, add an “RV approved” waste treatment and
deodorant solution or dry chemical treatment tablet / packet to the
toilet following the manufacturer’s directions� The toilet was designed
for use with Thetford brand holding tank deodorants� Only use RV or
Marine approved bathroom tissue, which breaks down more rapidly
than conventional household paper�
Monitor the black tank level regularly to avoid a situation where you
are unable to flush the toilet due to an over filled waste holding tank.
Clean the toilet with a soft bristle brush or sponges� Do not use
scouring powders, acids, or strong concentrated cleaners as they will
permanently damage the bowl, the flush seal, and the flush mechanism.
