4. Turn the water on to begin flushing; allow
water to run for about three minutes.

close dump valves.
Using On-Site Sewer Hook-Ups
The drain hose may remain attached to the
dump outlet and be routed out the flipdown hatch
in the bottom of the compartment while the motor
home is parked and connected to an on-site sew-
age hook-up. The center outlet section may be
swiveled downward for better hose alignment
and drainage.
When using a sewer hook-up, keep the dump
valves closed until a tank becomes full or when
preparing to leave the site. This keeps the solids
in suspension, allowing them to be carried out
with the liquids when the dump valve is opened.
If the valve is left open, the liquids will drain off,
leaving solids in the tank. Should this accidental-
ly happen, disconnect the hose, fill the tank about
half full with water, and drive a few miles to dis-
lodge the solids. A few starts and stops will aid in
the process. Then reconnect the hose and drain in
the normal manner.
UTILITY LIGHT
A lamp is located up on the left sidewall to
provide light in the utility hook-up area.
The switch is located inside the shoreline
compartment on the left side of the coach.
WATER DRAIN VALVES
The water drain valves are used to drain water
from the water tank and the water supply lines
when preparing the motor home for storage or
when sanitizing the water system.
To Drain Tanks and Water Lines:
The water line and tank drain valves are
located in the water pump center compartment.
Turn the valves as indicated in the following
illustration, according to the type of valve
installed.
