Macerator Pump System (if so equipped)
Your RV may be equipped with a macerator pump system used to discharge waste from the
gray and black waste tank. The system has a 1-1/2 inch diameter flexible hose that runs from
the pump (under the RV) and is stored in an exterior storage compartment. The system when
powered on can discharge waste (uphill if necessary) up to a distance of 150 feet.
Open the hose compartment and pull out the 1-1/2 inch flex
-
ible hose (which can extend to 21 feet) with the attached
dump connector. The dump connector includes two connec-
tions: a small removable cap for attaching a 3/4 inch garden
hose, and a larger 3-inch removable cap that allows it to
attach to the sewer outlet at the dump station.
Using the system
1.
To make drainage easier, level the RV.
2.
Attach the dump connector to the 3-inch sewer outlet at
the dump station (Fig A), or to a 3/4-inch garden hose
and run the hose to a dumping location.
3.
Open the black tank dump valve.
4.
Turn the Macerator power switch ON (switch lights up
red) at the hose storage compartment and the macerator
pump will begin sending waste through the dump hose.
5.
When the tank is empty, turn the macerator power switch
OFF. Close the black tank valve.
6.
Select the gray drain valve.
7.
Turn the Macerator Power Switch ON.
8.
When tank is empty, turn the macerator power switch
OFF. Close the gray tank valve.
9.
Unhook the dump connector, rinse it out and replace the
hose and connector back into the storage compartment.
10.
The black tank flush inlet can be used with this system
also (refer to the
Black Tank Flush
section).
Before operating the macerator pump, make sure the external dump hose is
properly attached at the RV and at the dump station. The hose is under pres-
sure and therefore waste is discharged under pressure.
Failure to follow in-
structions can lead to possible injury or property damage. The use of this
system for anything other than intended will void the warranty.
Water can accumulate in the flexible hose and dump connector of the macera
-
tor system. When winterizing the RV, antifreeze must be added to the macera-
tor system. Refer to the
Winterizing
section
