Sink drain
The water from the sink drain is pumped (using a macerator pump) through the drain lines
to the holding tank. Any time you drain water from the sink, you will need to use the mo-
mentary switch until the water is pumped into the tank. The pump will make a high pitch
sound when there is no water present. Immediately turn pump off, or damage to impeller
and housing will occur. Do not run pump dry for more than 15–20 seconds. In the event the
sink becomes clogged, do not pass any type of clean out tool through the pump. Clearing
the pump from any clogs should only be done by a Qualified Service Technician.
Tank Drain Hose Storage
There is a storage tube under the (driver side) rear of the motor home that can be used to
store the (customer supplied) tank drain hose when not in use.
Vents
Vent pipes and vents release air from the grey water holding tanks. The exterior vent cap is
attached to the roof and must be kept clear of obstructions to perform as intended.
Grey Water Holding Tanks
Dump the grey water holding tank before traveling to avoid carrying unnecessary weight.
The weight of the holding tank contents is not calculated into the RV cargo carrying capac-
ity. Traveling with full holding tank(s) could cause you to exceed the individual tire ratings
and/or the RV GAWR or RV GVWR. Potential damage to suspension components, such as
springs, tires and axles, could result.
If you are dry camping and cannot immediately empty your holding tanks, reduce your ve-
hicle speed until you reach a dumping station.
There is a label on the exterior of the recreation vehicle indicating the location of the grey
tank drain (also called dump valve).
1.
To make drainage easier, level the RV.
2.
Remove the sewer hose housing dust cap and attach the sewer hose (customer sup-
plied).
Do not pass any type of clean out tool through the drain line pump.
Do not run the pump dry for more the 15 to 20 seconds
Failure to comply may result in damage to the pump.
Never travel with full grey water holding tanks. Depending on the location of
the tank(s) it can affect your vehicle handling characteristics.
Do not add automotive antifreeze or caustic chemicals, such as laundry deter-
gents, into the holding tanks. Although these products may have a deodorizing
effect, they may damage the plastic and rubber parts of the plumbing system
or the components
