DRAINING THE WASTE HOLDING TANKS
1. Open the sewer compartment door on the driver side. This
will expose the sewer dump outlet. Press in the black and
gray dump valve handles to ensure the valves are closed.
Remove the black termination cap.
2. Locate the sewer hose in its compartment under the
running board, next to the dump outlet. Connect the sewer
hose to the drain outlet, and put the opposite end into an
appropriate sewer dump outlet.
NOTE:
Dump your black water first to allow your gray water to
flush the black water through the hose.
3. Open the termination valve on the black water holding tank
(black handle). Once this tank is empty, open the valve for
the gray water holding tank (gray handle). A garden hose
may be left running into the toilet with the valve open to
further rinse the tank and sewer hose.
4. Close the termination valves and replace the cap. Rinse and
replace your sewer hose back in its compartment.
5. Deodorize the empty tank by adding one US gal of water and
mixed with commercial holding tank deodorizer through the
tank.
NOTE:
If the black water holding tank is allowed to overfill, the
overflow may back up through the toilet drain. If the gray water
tank is allowed to overfill, the overflow may back up through the
shower drain.
NOTE:
If you are using a sewer hookup in a RV park, keep
the valve closed until the holding tank is at least partially full,
then drain. The large quantity of waste flow will provide more
effective drainage and reduce tank stoppages.
WASTE SYSTEM
Your motorhome is equipped with two waste tanks:
1. A black water tank is located below the toilet above the floor
of the vehicle. Only the toilet water and solid waste enter
this tank. This tank is approximately 12 gal / 45L.
2. A grey water tank is located in the driver side of the vehicle.
This tank holds wastewater from the sinks and the shower.
This tank is approximately 15 gal / 57L.
Before using your black water holding tank, deodorize it by adding
one US gal of water and commercial tank deodorizer through the
toilet.
