of the toilet. Early model toilets require the use of a wrench to operate the
valve. Newer models will have a thumbwheel.
Wiring:
• The toilet is wired to a 10 Amp Fuse in the house distribution panel.
• The toilet has a 4 Amp 3 Ag “slow-blow” in-line fuse located in the back
of the toilet.
Leaks:
• Back of toilet: check water supply line connection.
• Between closet flange and toilet: Check screws for tightness. If
leak continues, remove toilet and check flange height. Adjust,
if necessary to 7/16” above floor. Replace flange seal if dam-
aged.
• Poor flush: A good flush should be obtained within 2 to 3 sec-
onds. If problem persists remove the water supply line and
check flow rate. The flow rate should be at least ten quarts (9.5
liters) per minute.
• Bowl will not hold water: Check for foreign material in valve
blade groove in the flush drain.
The toilet should be cleaned regularly for maximum sanitation and operational
efficiency. Clean the toilet bowl with a mild bathroom cleaner. Do not use
chlorine or caustic chemicals, such as drain opening types, as they will dam-
age the seals.
Clean out the system by flushing several gallons of fresh water through
with one cup of liquid laundry detergent. Add odor control deodorant, in the
amount specified for your holding tank capacity, after cleaning and every few
days during use.
To find leaks, check behind or under toilet. Take four or five 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 for six months it is a
good idea to spray silicone on the toilet valve and work it
back and forth. Perform this maintenance monthly (silicone
will evaporate in about 30 days).
