HOW TO USE YOUR MOTORHOME’S EQUIPMENT

20. Waste Pump-Out System: When

activating the control panel this feature
automatically lights up. When the Waste
Holding Tank Level Indicator illuminates,
press the Waste Pump-Out button to
pump out the waste from the holding tank
into the vehicle’s waste tank. The button
will flash while the waste is being
pumped and will stop automatically (after
approximately 5 minutes) when all waste
has been transferred. If the vehicle’s
waste tank is full, the Waste Pump-Out
light will flash rapidly and no pump-out
will be possible until the central tank is
emptied. (Check the level of the vehicle’s
waste tank on the vehicle’s central
console). After the Waste Holding Tank
has been emptied, there will be
approximately 1.5 litres of waste left in
the tank. This is normal. Add 2 litres of
water and a correct dosage of Thetford
toilet fluids to the Waste Holding Tank.

CAUTION:

It is vital that the correct amount

of toilet fluid is added to ensure the proper
breakdown of the waste in the holding tank.
Only use the system when the tank is full.
Using the system too often on an empty tank
can cause damage to the pump, which could
cause the system to fail.

Cleaning and Maintenance

The toilet should be cleaned and maintained
regularly, depending on the amount of use.
To clean Thetford toilets, we advise using
water and Thetford Bathroom Cleaner.

Note:

Never use bleach, vinegar or other

powerful household cleaners that contain
these substances. These may cause
permanent damage to the seals and other
toilet components.

Toilet Bowl

Squirt Thetford Bathroom Cleaner into
the toilet bowl.

Flush the toilet bowl with water and wipe
down the rest of the toilet with a damp
cloth.

Clean seat and lid The seat and lid can
easily be removed: Lift the seat and lid
assembly and pull the round pins (inside
the assembly) outwards from the pin

holes. After cleaning, replace the seat
and lid by positioning the round pins in
front of the pin holes and push the lid and
seat downwards.

To keep your flush water fresh and to
prevent deposits from forming in your
toilet bowl, add a correct dosage of Aqua
Rinse in your flush water tank, if present,
on your toilet.

Tip!

For a really shining toilet, dry with a

soft dry cloth after cleaning.

Waste Holding Tank

To keep your Waste Holding Tank fresh and
clean, Thetford has developed a number of
different toilet fluids. Thetford toilet fluids
suppress smells, reduce formation of gas,
promote breakdown of toilet waste and
increase the life span of a mobile toilet. We
advise a thorough cleaning of the Waste
Holding Tank once each season. Next to
using Thetford’s Cassette Tank Cleaner, the
powerful cleaning agent for the periodical
cleaning of the Waste Holding Tank of your
toilet, we suggest the following: -

Remove the removable mechanism from
the Waste Holding Tank by turning it
anti-clockwise and rinse it under a tap.

Remove the cover plate from the
Automatic Pressure Release Vent by
prising it up using a small screwdriver.
Use one hand to push the Automatic
Pressure Release Vent open while
holding the float of the Automatic
Pressure Release Vent on the inside of
the tank with the other hand. Push the
float upwards, turn it 180 degrees and
remove it from below. Remove the rubber
seal underneath the float. Rinse the float
and rubber seal under a tap. Replace the
rubber seal and float for the Automatic
Pressure Release Vent using the same
method in reverse.

The rubber seals in the toilet (the lip seal, the
mechanism seal, the automatic pressure
release vent seal and the cap seal) should be
regularly cleaned with water and treated with
Thetford High Grade Seal Lubricant. This will
ensure that the seals remain flexible and in
good condition. If the toilet is not to be used
