HOW TO USE YOUR MOTORHOME’S EQUIPMENT
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
for any length of time, it is important to treat
the seals with Thetford High Grade Seal
Lubricant after cleaning.
CAUTION:
Never use Vaseline or any
vegetable oil except olive oil. These may
cause leakage or malfunction. The lip seal is
a part of the toilet that is subject to wear.
Depending upon the extent and manner of
use, the seals will become less effective and
will need replacing periodically.
Cleaning and Maintenance for
Optional Features
-
Automatic Ventilation: The filter of the
Automatic Ventilation needs to be
renewed periodically. After approximately
4 full weeks of use, the filter loses its
absorption power.
-
Pump-Out Waste System: To ensure
optimal functionality of the Pump-Out
Waste System, periodical maintenance of
the tube and pump is recommended.
After emptying the Waste Holding Tank
completely, fill it with clean water and
empty it again. This will clean the pump
and the hose. Do this once every 3
weeks when on holiday. This should
ensure proper operation of the system.
Winter operation
You can use your Thetford Cassette Toilet as
normal in cold weather as long as the toilet is
situated in a heated location. If there is a risk
of freezing we advise that the toilet is drained
by following the instructions under ‘Storage’.
For environmental reasons the use of
antifreeze, such as that used in car radiators,
is not recommended.
