The toilet uses water from either the fresh
water tank or a city water supply. The water
pump must be turned
ON
or connect the
motorhome to city water. The toilet flushes
directly into the sewage holding tank (black
water).
CAUTION:
To prevent accumulation of solids below
toilet, add several gallons of water to the
holding tank before use. Most chemical
mixtures for holding tank odor control
are poisonous. Follow the product
manufacturer’s directions and warnings
when using any holding tank additive.
NOTE:
Never dispose of sanitary supplies or
other non-dissolving items into the toilet.
Facial tissue, wet strength tissue, paper
towels or an excess toilet tissue can clog
the tank or termination valve.
Pedal Flush:
To add water to the
toilet before using,
press and hold the
pedal halfway until
the desired water level
is reached. Generally,
more water is required
only when flushing
solids.
To flush the toilet, push the lever all the
way down until the sewage leaves the
toilet.
Water pressures and volume can vary.
Therefore, holding the flush lever down for
several seconds may be required. Release the
flush lever, allowing it to snap back, permitting
positive sealing around the flush ball. A small
amount of water should remain in bowl.
Hand Sprayer:
To operate the hand
sprayer, depress the
thumb lever. Step
on foot pedal. Direct
water into the bowl.
Cleaning & Maintenance
The toilet should be cleaned regularly for
maximum sanitation and operational efficiency.
Clean the toilet bowl with a mild non-abrasive
bathroom cleaner with a soft bristle, non-
abrasive bowl brush, sponge or soft cloth.
DO
NOT
use scouring powders, acids, concentrated
cleaners, chlorine or caustic chemicals, such
as drain opening types, as they will damage
surfaces, plastic parts and rubber seals.
Clean the toilet system using the tank flush.
If additional flushing is desired, flush with
several gallons of fresh water and one cup of dry
laundry detergent. Add odor control deodorant,
in the amount specified for the holding tank
capacity, every few days during use.
Maintenance - Checking for Leaks:
To find leaks, check behind or under
toilet. Take four or five sheets of toilet
tissue and wipe all the seams and water line
connections. Start at the top of the unit and work
downward. When the tissue comes in contact
with leaking water it will immediately change
texture.
