SANITATION SYSTEM

Toilet

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS - AQUA MAGIC® 4
The Aqua Magic® 4 is equipped with two operating levers (Fig. 4-9) located on the right side of the
toilet when facing the unit. To flush, pull the black lever (Fig. 4-11) forward (clockwise) until rinse
clears bowl and release lever slowly. Movement of the flush lever opens the waste valve and allows
waste to pass into the holding tank. Water fill is activated simultaneously with the black flush lever.
The lever should be held open for several seconds to allow adequate flush water coverage of bowl to
develop. The white water fill lever (Fig. 4-10) can be operated independently of the black flush lever
if more than the normal two inch (50 mm) automatic bowl refill water is desired. You must use an
adequate amount of water when flushing to prevent solid waste build up and promote proper
drainage. See Holding Tanks.

MAINTENANCE
See "Toilets" section under maintenance in Chapter 7.

Using Toilet and Tank System

Note: For added convenience and better sanitation system performance, it is advisable to
always have four to six inches (10-15 cm) of water in the toilet.
Prior to using the sanitation system, it is strongly recommended to flush the toilet several times and
release sufficient water into the tank. If there is not a sufficient amount of water used during
flushing, waste materials may not evacuate properly from the drain line to the tank. Clogged tanks
and pipes could eventually occur. When camping you should always have four to six inches (10-15
cm) of water in the toilet bowl. The toilet system will perform better when water is run for ten to
fifteen seconds after flushing to ensure waste will proceed to the bottom of the tank. Unlike your
toilet at home which uses four to seven gallons (18-32 liters) of water per flush, the average
recreation vehicle system uses one to three quarts (1-3 liters).
When hooking up to the sewer drain line at a campground, keep the termination valve on the waste
tank CLOSED until the tank is at least 3/4 full. This will provide sufficient water to assist in
complete draining of the tank. At this time, open the termination valve to empty the tank and close
the valve when the tank is empty. Repeat this process as needed, but NEVER leave the termination
valve open when hooked up to the park's sewer system.
