Cayman 2006 Water Systems — Section 6 • 159
TOILET
Operating Instructions
The toilet operates from either the fresh water tank or city water
supply. The water pump must be turned on or the city water connected.
The toilet fl ushes directly into a sewage holding tank (black water).
NOTE:
To prevent accumulation of solids below toilet, add several gallons of
water to the holding tank before use.
CAUTION:
Most chemical mixtures for holding tank odor control are poisonous.
Follow the product manufacturer’s directions and warnings when
using any holding tank additive.
Toilet Operation:
• Using a foot, lift up the fl ush lever to add water to the bowl. Generally, more
water is required only when fl ushing solids.
• To fl ush the toilet, push the lever all the way down until the sewage leaves the toilet.
NOTE:
The optional porcelain toilet is equipped with two separate foot levers: one for filling and the
other for flushing.
Water fl ow pressures vary at different locations; therefore, holding the fl ush lever down for several seconds
may be required. Release the fl ush lever by allowing it to snap back, which permits positive sealing around the
fl ush ball. A small amount of water should remain in bowl.
NOTE:
Holding flush lever down longer than necessary results in excessive water usage.
Cleaning & Maintenance
Cleaning the Toilet:
The toilet should be cleaned regularly for maximum sanitation and operational
effi ciency. Clean the toilet bowl with a mild bathroom cleaner. DO NOT use chlorine
or caustic chemicals, such as drain opening types, as they will damage the seals.
Clean out the system by fl ushing several gallons of fresh water through with one
cup of dry laundry detergent. Add odor control deodorant, in the amount specifi ed for
the holding tank capacity, after cleaning and every few days during use
Maintenance - Checking for leaks:
To fi nd leaks, check behind or under toilet. Take four or fi ve 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, spray silicone on the toilet bowl valve and work it back and
forth. Perform this maintenance monthly (silicone will evaporate in about 30 days).
