2. Leave black water dump valve open while
flushing tank.
3. Attach a garden hose from a city water
hydrant to the Flushing System 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 hose from flushing system and
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
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 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
accidentally happen, disconnect the 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
hose and drain in the normal manner.
Holding Tank Level Indicators
See
Systems Monitor Panel
in Section 4 for
further information on the monitor panel and
checking tank levels.
Water Line & Tank 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 compartment to the right of the
entrance door. Turn the valves as indicated on the
label provided, according to the type of valve
