SYSTEM
,
.-
Drain the holding tanks only when they are at least
3/4
full.
If
necessary, fill
the tanks withwater
to
3/4
ftill. This provides sufficient water to allow
compl~te
flushirig
of
waste material Into the
sewer
line .
.
During
extended
or
semi-permanent hookups to sewage
systems,waste
materials will build up in the tank and cause serious plugging
if
the tank
~alves
are continuously open:In these cases, keep the valves closed until the tanks are
3/4
full,
"and
then drain into the
s~wage
system ...
The
holding tank drain valve outlet is to be used with a removable
termination fitting that locks onto the outlet with a clockwise twist. Clamp the
sewer drain hose to this fit!ing. Aprotective cap should remain in place when
you are not draining the tanks.

some cases,
aCiapters
may
be~necessary
between
the
line and the inlet. Arrange the
sewer hose
so
it slopes
ev~nly.
