6. Add an odor control chemical to the sewage
holding tank through the toilet. These
chemicals are available at most RV stores.

carrying unnecessary weight.
Flushing Your Black Waste Holding
Tank
–If Equipped
The black waste holding tank is equipped with
an internal spray head that allows you to rinse the
inside of the tank with a shower of clean water
after dumping.
1. Dump your black waste holding tank in the
usual manner at an approved sewage disposal
station.
2. Leave Black Waste Tank Drain valve open
while flushing tank.
3. Attach a garden hose from a city water
hydrant to the Black Waste Tank Flush Inlet
fitting on the left sidewall. (This inlet is
clearly marked separate from the City Water
inlet).
4. Turn the water on to begin flushing. Allow
water to run for about three minutes.
5. Disconnect garden hose from flushing system
and close Black Waste Tank Drain valve.
Using On-Site Sewer Hook-Ups
The sewage drain hose may remain attached to
the sewage drain outlet while the motorhome is
parked and connected to an on-site sewage hook-
up.
When using a sewer hook-up, keep the dump
valves closed until a tank becomes full or when
preparing to leave the site. This keeps the solids
in suspension, allowing them to be carried out
with the liquids when the dump valve is opened.
If the valve is left open, the liquids will drain off,
CAUTION
Do not use the tank flush valve unless the
fullway termination valve is in the open
position. May result in an unsanitary
condition leading to illness or personal
injury.
