Do not use the same hose to ll your fresh (potable) water tank that is used for
the black tank ush.
The black tank drain valve must be OPEN any time there is a hose (water
supply) connected to the black tank ush.
Do not leave any hose (water supply) connected to the black tank ush
when it is not in use.
Toilet (if so equipped)
The toilet is ecient and easy to operate. Prior to using the sanitation system, it is strongly
recommended to ush the toilet several times to release sucient water into the holding
tank. Generally, more water is required only when ushing solids.
The toilet system will perform better when water is run for ten to fteen seconds after ush-
ing to ensure that the waste will proceed to the bottom of the tank.
If there is not a sucient amount of water used during ushing, the waste materials may not
evacuate properly from the drain line to the tank. Clogged tanks and pipes could eventually
occur. For added convenience and better sanitation system performance, it is advisable to
always have four to six inches (10 - 15 cm) of water in the toilet. It is important to add
enough water to prevent solid waste buildup. The following guidelines will help to prevent
solid waste buildup.
1. Release one to two quarts (1 or 2 liters) of water into the toilet bowl.
2. Follow the directions on your (approved RV) toilet chemical bottle (customer sup-
plied), by placing the recommended quantity of holding tank chemical into the toilet
bowl.
It is important to prevent solid waste buildup. Follow the toilet manu-
facturer’s recommended instructions each time after emptying the black
water holding tank.
To prevent help toilet blockage, always use RV grade single-ply toilet pa-
per. Do not ush paper towels, diapers, sanitary napkins or other foreign
objects down the toilet.
Do not use chlorine (undiluted) or caustic chemicals, such as laundry
bleach or drain opening types, in the toilet system. These products dam-
age the seals in toilets and dump valves.
2. Connect a garden hose from the water supply source to the black tank ush.
3. With the water source turned ON, ush the black water holding tank until the water
running out of the black tank drain valve is clear (not discolored or cloudy).
4. Disconnect the garden hose and close the black tank drain valve. Fasten the sewer hose
housing dust cap back on the tank ush inlet.
