Macerator Pump System (if so equipped)
Your RV may be equipped with a macerator pump system used to discharge waste from the
gray and black waste tank. The system has a 1-1/2 inch diameter exible hose that runs from
the pump (under the RV) and is stored in an exterior storage compartment. The system when
powered on can discharge waste (uphill if necessary) up to a distance of 150 feet.
Open the hose compartment and pull out the 1-1/2 inch ex-
ible hose (which can extend to 21 feet) with the attached
dump connector. The dump connector includes two con-
nections: a small removable cap for attaching a 3/4 inch
garden hose, and a larger 3-inch removable cap that allows
it to attach to the sewer outlet at the dump station.
4. To make drainage easier, level the RV.
5. Attach the dump connector to the 3-inch sewer outlet at
the dump station (Fig A), or to a 3/4-inch garden hose and
run the hose to a dumping location.
6. Open the black tank dump valve.
7. Turn the Macerator power switch ON (switch lights up
red) at the hose storage compartment and the macerator
pump will begin sending waste through the dump hose.
8. When the tank is empty, turn the macerator power switch
OFF. Close the black tank valve.
9. Select the gray drain valve.
10. Turn the Macerator Power Switch ON.
11. When tank is empty, turn the macerator power switch
OFF. Close the gray tank valve.
12. Unhook the dump connector, rinse it out and replace the
hose and connector back into the storage compartment.
13. The black tank ush inlet can be used with this system
also (refer to the Black Tank Flush section).
Before operating the macerator pump, make sure the external dump hose is
properly attached at the RV and at the dump station. The hose is under pres-
sure and therefore waste is discharged under pressure.
Water can accumulate in the exible hose and dump connector of the macera-
tor system. When winterizing the RV, antifreeze must be added to the macera-
tor system. Refer to the Winterizing section.
