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 fitting. A
protective cap should remain in place when you are not
draining the tanks.
To
drain the holding tanks:
1.
Attach the sewer hose to the holding tank outlet. Insert the
end of the hose into the sewer or dump station
inlet, push-
ing it
firmly far enough into the opening to be secure.
In
some cases, adapters may be necessary between the line
and the inlet. Arrange the sewer hose so it slopes evenly.
2.
Drain the black water holding tank first. Grasp the handle of
the
black water knife valve (the large one) firmly and slide
the valve open with a quick, steady pull.
3.
Allow enough time for the tank to drain completely. Rinse
and flush the tank through the
toilet. When the tank is
empty, push the
handle in to close the valve. Run enough
water (up to five
gallons or so) into the tank to cover the
bottom. This
will aid the break up of solid wastes, and
reduce
"pyramiding" of waste material.
4.
To
drain the grey water tank, repeat the steps above using
the
small knife valve. This tank
is
drained last
to
aid in
flushing the outlets and hose. The grey water knife valve
may be left open
in
a semi-permanent hookup.
5.
Remove the sewer hose and cap the outlet.
6.
Rinse out the sewer hose with fresh water and remove the
sewer hose from the dump station.
7.
Replace sewer
or
dump station covers.
Please
...
Practice good housekeeping when draining
wastes
at
a campsite 01' disposal station. Leave the site
in good ordel: Above all,
do
not
pollute.
