Turn the Macerator power switch ON at the utility center panel and the macerator pump
will begin sending waste through the dump hose.
Make sure the sewer hose is con-
nected before turning the macerator on
.
5.

8.
When tank is empty, turn the macerator power switch OFF. Close the gray tank drain

Unhook the dump connector, rinse it out and replace the hose and connector back into
the storage compartment.
The black tank flush inlet can also be used with this system (refer to the
Black Tank Flush
section).
Macerator Bypass Valve
In the event the macerator pump malfunctions, there is a macerator bypass valve. Depend-
ing on your model, this valve may be located in the utility center, in the compartment with
the black/gray tank valves or under the motor home (accessible through the generator com-
partment). This bypass will dump the waste (using gravity flow) from the black/gray tanks
to a 3-inch sewer hose connection.
To operate:
1.
Attach a 3-inch sewer hose to the bypass connection , and
to a sewer outlet at a dump station.
2.
Empty the tanks one at a time. Black tank should be emp-
tied first followed by the gray tank so waste water from
the gray tank will help rinse solids or debris from the
dump outlet and hose.
3.
Pull the black tank dump valve located.
4.
Pull the manual macerator bypass valve to open it and the black tank will empty by
gravity flow.
5.
Close the black tank dump valve, and then close the macerator bypass valve.
6.
Open the gray tank dump valve, and then open the macerator bypass valve.
7.
When finished, make sure both black and gray tank dump valves are closed, shut off
the macerator bypass valve, and disconnect the sewer hose from the motor home and
at the dump station.
8.
Clean and store the sewer hose.
9.
Replace the dust cap on the macerator bypass.
The black tank flush inlet can be used with the macerator bypass (re
-
fer to
the
Black
Tank Flush
section).
Macerator Emergency Cutoff
The macerator system includes an emergency cutoff valve that stops
the flow of waste through the flexible 1-1/2-inch macerator hose. The
valve is at the back of the utility center
(Fig A).
The handle for the
cutoff should be pulled UP for NORMAL operation. To engage the
cutoff, push the valve handle DOWN
