Waste Tank

Next to using Thetford’s Cassette Tank Cleaner, the powerful cleaning agent for the periodical

cleaning of the waste-holding tank of your toilet, Thetford suggest the following:

• Remove the mechanism from the waste tank by turning it anti-clockwise, as shown on

the waste tank. Rinse the complete mechanism under a tap.

• Remove the cover plate from the automatic pressure release vent by prising it up using

a screwdriver. Use one hand to push the automatic pressure release vent open, while

holding the float of the automatic pressure release vent on the inside of the tank with

the other hand. Push the float upwards, turn the float a half turn and remove it from

below. Remove the rubber seal that is under the float. Rinse the float and rubber seal

under a tap. Replace the rubber seal and the float for the automatic pressure release

vent in the same way.

MAINTENANCE

The rubber seals in the toilet (the valve blade seal, the mechanism seal, the automatic

pressure release vent seal, and the cap seal) should be regularly treated with Thetford High

Grade Seal Lubricant. This will ensure that the seals remain supple and in good condition. If

the toilet is not to be used for any length of time, it is important to treat the seals with Thetford

High Grade Seal Lubricant after cleaning.

NOTE: Never use Vaseline or any vegetable oil except olive oil. These may cause leakage.

The valve blade seal is a part of the toilet that is subject to wear. Depending on the extent and

manner of service, after a period it will be less effective and will need to be replaced.

WINTER OPERATION

You can use your Thetford cassette toilet as usual in cold weather, as long as the toilet is

situated in a heated location. If this is not the case, there is a risk of freezing. In that case

Thetford advise that the toilet is drained by following the instructions under “STORAGE”.

For environmental reasons, the use of antifreeze such as that used in a car radiator is not

advised.
