The waste water from the sinks and shower drains into the grey water tank;
the toilet drains
into the black water tank. The holding tanks make the system
. completely self-contained and allow you to dispose
of
waste water
at
your-
convenience. A flexible sewer hose
is
required to connect-the holding tank
outlet to the inlet
of
an .approved waste water.dump station or sewer system.
The
drain plumbing
is
sirriilar to that used in your home. The system is
. trapped and vented to prevent waste gases from backing up
into the motor
home.
The drain plumbing is made
of
ABS plastic, and is durable and resistant
to
most chemicals.
TOILET
Your motor home is equipped with a toilet designed for use in marine and
RV
applications.
It
may differ in some respects from residential toilets. Please
follow the operating instructions found in your

of
the tank(s). During self-
containment
use;cthe sewer line
is
securely capped to prevent leakage
of
waste
material onto the ground or pavement.

PULL THE HObDING
TANK KNIFE VALVE OPEN WHEN THE PROTECTIVE CAP IS IN-
STALLED ON THE PIPE. Always drain the tank into an acceptable sewer
inlet
or
