Hose Sprayer:
To operate the remote mounted hose sprayer, push the flush
lever down. Press the handle on the sprayer to wash rim and bowl.
NOTE: Never dispose of sanitary supplies or other non-
dissolving items into the toilet. Facial tissue, wet strength
tissue, paper towels or an excessive amount of toilet tissue
can clog the tank or termination valve.
Cleaning:
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 damage the seals.
Clean out the system by using the tank flush system. If additional flushing is
desired, flush with several gallons of fresh water and one cup of dry laundry
detergent. Add odor control deodorant, in the amount specified for your holding
tank capacity, after cleaning and every few days during use.
Checking for Leaks:
• Back of toilet: Check water supply line connection. Toilet tissue
works well to find leaks. The tissue changes texture when it contacts
moisture.
• Between closet flange and toilet: Check flange screws making sure
they are snug. Do not over tighten screws. If leak continues, remove
toilet and check flange height. Adjust, if necessary to 7/16" above
floor. Replace flange seal if damaged.
• Poor flush: A good flush should be obtained within 2 to 3 seconds. If
problem persists, adjust the water level. If it continues, the water
pressure may be low or the water flow rate is low. Remove the
water supply line and check flow rate. The flow rate should be at
least ten quarts (9.5 liters) per minute. Water pressure should not be
below 25 psi.
• Bowl will not hold water: Check for foreign material in ball valve.
NOTE: If the motorhome is in storage for six months, it is a good
idea to spray silicone on the ball valve. Perform this maintenance
monthly (silicone will evaporate in about 30 days).
