12.2.4 TANK RINSE (COMMANDER ONLY)
The motorhome is equipped with a built-in black wa-
ter waste tank ushing system. To aid in draining the
tank or to remove build-up or odors, attach a water
hose to the ush connection in the utility compart-
ment. Make sure the black tank drain valve is open
when using the water tank rinse system.
COMMANDER / EMBASSY
1. DO keep your holding tank clean using any
cleaner approved for recreational vehicle sanita-
tion systems.
2. DO add a special deodorizer or chemical addi-
tive approved for recreational vehicle systems to
sanitize and improve the tank action.
3. DO keep your tank termination valve closed,
permitting the tank to get as full as convenient
before emptying.
4. DO keep both the tank termination valve(s) closed
and the drain cap tightly in place when travelling
to prevent spillage on the road.
5. DO use any soft, single-ply, non dyed, biodegrad-
able toilet tissue.
6. DO open the bath vent to keep bathroom fresh.
7. DON'T put facial tissues, paper, permanent (au-

12.2.6 USING ON-SITE SEWER HOOK-UPS
When staying at a campsite for any period of time
where sewer hook-ups are available, the sewer hose
may be attached and left in place for the duration of
the stay.
However, ensure that dump valves are left closed and
are opened only once the tanks are full or when you
leave the campsite. This will keep solid wastes in sus-
pension allowing them to drain with the liquids when
the valves are opened. If the valves are left open, the
liquid wastes will drain leaving the solids to collect on
the oor of the black water holding tank oor.
Should this happen, close the valves, ll the tank with
water and drive a few miles. A 1/4 cup of dishwater
detergent added to the tank will help to clean it. The
motion of the vehicle and the water will dislodge the
wastes and allow the tank to be drained in the normal
manner.
