3. Attach a garden hose from a city water
hydrant to the Black Waste Tank Flush Inlet
fitting in the water service center. (This inlet is
clearly marked separate from the City Water
inlet).
4. Turn the water on to begin flushing. Allow
water to run for about three minutes.
5. Disconnect garden hose from flushing system
and close Black Waste Tank Drain Valve.
Using On-Site Sewer Hook-Ups
The sewage drain hose may remain attached to
the sewage drain outlet and be routed out the flip-
down hatch in the bottom of the compartment
while the motorhome is parked and connected to
an on-site sewage hook-up.
The center outlet section may be swiveled
downward for better hose alignment and
drainage.
When using a sewer hook-up, keep the Black
and Gray Waste Tank Drain 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
accidentally happen, disconnect the sewage drain
hose, fill the tank about half full with water, and
drive a few miles to dislodge the solids. A few
starts and stops will aid in the process. Then
reconnect the sewage drain hose and drain in the
normal manner.
NOTE: Always keep sewage drain outlet capped
while sewage connection is not in use.
