COMMANDER / EMBASSY
13.14 FRESH WATER TOILET
The toilet in your motorhome is very much like
the one on your home except that it uses a much
smaller amount of water for fl ushing. When the
levers are moved to the right for fl ushing, a high
velocity stream of water produces a swirl effect that
should effectively cleanse the toilet. If you wish,
a deodorizing agent may be used to eliminate any
odors from the toilet.
1.
Flushing the Toilet:
a. Depress both foot control levers and hold
open during the fl 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.

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 mak-
ing 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 fl ush sanitary napkins or other non
dissolving items down the toilet.
c. Do not use automotive anti-freeze or caus-
tic chemicals such as household bleach in
the toilet or holding tank. These can dam-
age plastic or rubber parts in the system.

3.
Cleaning the Toilet:
The toilet should be cleaned regularly for sani-
tation and effi 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 fl 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 fl ush valve becomes
stiff, it may be lubricated with silicone
spray. Turn off the water pump, drain all
the water from the toilet bowl and spray
silicone lubricant inside the fl 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.
