pressing the "release" switch� Once released the
hose can be manually pulled out� Secure the hose
at the disposal facility inlet using the threaded or

the end of the hose�
CAUTION
The pressure from the macerator pump may push
the hose from the inlet if the hose is not secured
properly.

Water tank first and the Gray Water tank second,
using the Gray Water to help flush the pump and

the solids in the tank�
4� When black tank is empty, turn off the pump�

pump� Run until just before the pump runs dry� Any
trickle of gray water left will remain in discharge
hose behind drip proof valve and is typical�

seconds could damage the pump�

adaptor from the dump station inlet� Retract the
hose into the hose reel by holding the switch in

back and forth onto the reel evenly� Close the
