To Attach the Hose:
• Remove sewer hose from carrier.
• Remove termination cap. Align coupler tangs with termination tabs.
Twist coupler clockwise 90º locking coupler to termination
outlet.
• Unscrew the access deck plate and feed the drain hose
through the opening.
• Rotate the drainpipe downward for maximum flow.
• Attach the other end of the hose to the drain service.
Restrain hose to prevent movement during use.
• Open the (small) grey water valve.
LUBE: Lubricate the O-ring on the sewer hose
adapter periodically with silicone spray.
The black water valve remains closed until the tank is full or until time of
departure. This will help prevent accumulation of solids. Use the outside faucet or
shower attachment for washing or rinsing.
NOTE: Close the grey water valve 24 hours prior to departing
to allow the tank to fill with liquid to help in the dumping
process.
NOTE: Use care when connecting the sewer hose adapter to the
termination outlet in cold weather.
Before initially operating the toilet, treat the sewage holding tank with a
pre-charge of water and an odor-controlling chemical (available at most RV
supply stores). First, add approximately three gallons of water to the holding tank.
Next, mix the chemicals, in accordance with the manufacturer instructions, with
approximately one gallon of water. Pour mixture through toilet to the holding tank.
Be careful not to spill the chemical on your hands, clothing, toilet bowl or carpet
as it can permanently stain. Extremely hot weather conditions may require adjusting
the amount of chemical used to control odor. Repeat the chemical pre-charge to
the holding tank each time the tank is cycled.
WARNING: Most chemical mixtures for holding tank odor control
are poisonous. Follow the product manufacturer's directions and
warnings when using any holding tank additive. Do not use any
products that contain petroleum distillate or ammonia in place of
RV odor controlling chemical. Petroleum distillate or ammonia
will damage the ABS plastic holding tanks and seals.
