ONLY BY SENDING A LARGE VOLUME OF
LIQUID THROUGH THE MAIN HOLDING
TANK AT A TIME WILL TOILET PAPER
AND OTHER SOLIDS COMPLETELY WASH
AWAY .
This practice will avoid the
accumulation of solids in the
main holding tank which could
lead to an unpleasant cleaning
job. Should solids accumulate ,
close the dump valve, fill the
tank about half full with water;
then tow the trailer for a few
miles. The turbulence and surging
of the water will usually dissolve
the solids into suspension so the
tank can be drained. Keep the
auxiliary tank valve open when
connected to a sewer outlet.
