CAUTION:
Most chemical mixtures for holding
tank odor control are poisonous. Follow
the product manufacturer’s directions
and warnings when using any holding
tank additive.
Toilet Operation:
Push the ush
down halfway to
add water to the
bowl. Generally,
more water is
required only
when ushing
solids.
Push the lever all
the way down to
open the ush ball.
Water ow pressures vary at different
locations; therefore, holding the ush lever
down for several seconds may be required.
Release the ush lever by allowing it to snap
back, which permits positive sealing around
the ush ball. A small amount of water should
remain in the bowl.
NOTE:
Holding the flush lever down longer
than necessary will result in excessive
water usage.
Spray Nozzle:
Depress the thumb
lever and step on the
foot pedal.

Cleaning & Maintenance
Cleaning the Toilet:
The toilet should be cleaned regularly for
maximum sanitation and operational efciency.
Clean the toilet bowl with a mild bathroom
cleaner. Do not use chlorine or caustic
chemicals, such as drain opening types, as they
will damage the seals.
Clean out the system by ushing with several
gallons of fresh water mixed with one cup of dry
laundry detergent. Add odor control deodorant,
in the amount specied for the holding tank
capacity, after cleaning and every few days
during use
Maintenance - Checking for leaks:
Check for leaks behind or under the toilet.
Take four or ve sheets of toilet tissue and wipe
all the seams and water line connections. Start
at the top of the unit and work downward. When
the tissue comes in contact with leaking water it
will immediately change texture.
NOTE:
If the motorhome is in storage, spray
silicone on the toilet bowl valve and
work it back and forth. Perform this
maintenance monthly (silicone will
evaporate in about 30 days).
Troubleshooting:
Poor ush:
A good ush should be obtained within
two to three seconds. If the problem
persists, remove the water supply line
and check the ow rate. The ow rate
should be at least ten quarts (9.5 liters)
per minute.

Leaks:
Back of toilet: check water supply line
connection.
Between closet ange and toilet: Check
the screws for tightness. If the leak
continues, remove the toilet and check
ange height. Adjust the height, if
necessary, to 7/16" above oor. Replace
the ange seal if it is damaged.
Bowl will not hold water:
Check for foreign material in the valve
blade groove in the ush drain.
NOTE:
Most chemical mixtures for holding
tank odor control are poisonous. Follow
the product manufacturer’s directions
and warnings when using any holding
tank additive.
