Triple E COMMANDER Series - FRESH WATER TOILET OPERATION & CARE

13-11
COMMANDER / EMBASSY
13.17 FRESH WATER TOILET
The toilet in your motorhome is very much like the
one in your home except that it uses a much smaller
amount of water for ushing. When the foot pedal
lever is pushed down, a high velocity stream of water
produces a swirl eect that should eectively cleanse
the toilet. If you wish, a deodorizing agent may be
used to eliminate odors from the toilet.
1. Flushing the Toilet:
a. Depress both foot control levers and hold
open during the ush.
b. Release the levers. A small amount of water
should remain in the bowl.
c. If you wish to add more water to the bowl,
push the small foot control and hold until you
have the desired level of water.
For additional information and instruction, see the
manufacturer's toilet manual.
2. Operating Tips:
a. Do not use facial tissue or regular house-
hold toilet tissue in the RV toilet. It will not
disinegrate properly and will cling to the
sides and bottom of the holding tank making
it hard to clean. The clinging tissue can also
short-circuit the terminals inside the tank that
indicate the holding tank level at the monitor
panel. Use only toilet tissue available at your
RV center designed for use in RV toilets.
b. Do not ush sanitary napkins or other non
dissolving items down the toilet.
c. Do not use automotive anti-freeze or caustic
chemicals in the toilet or holding tank. These
can damage plastic or rubber parts in the
system.

3. Cleaning the Toilet:
The toilet should be cleaned regularly for
sanitation and ecient operation.
a. Clean the toilet using a mild bathroom
cleaner. Do not use caustic or abrasive
cleansers. Do not allow cleaners to remain in
the toilet bowl for any length of time. Plastic
surfaces and seals could be damaged.
b. Dump and rinse the holding tank after
cleaning and ushing the toilet.
c. Add a bit of odor control chemical every few
days to eliminate any possibility of odor in the
bathroom.
d. If the operation of the ush valve becomes
sti, it may be lubricated with silicone spray.
Turn o the water pump, drain all the water
from the toilet bowl and spray silicone
lubricant inside the ush valve. Operate
the valve several times to make sure it is
operating freely.
For instructions on preparing the toilet for cold
weather storage, refer to the section on winterizing.
