Emptying the drainage system
If the caravan is to be left standing for an extended period,
or if the temperature while it is pitched will be below 0°C
and the caravan is to be left unheated, the drainage system
must be emptied. The drainage tank should be cleaned at
regular intervals when it has been used. Clean the tank in
accordance with "Cleaning the drainage tank" to the right.
The drainage tank holds approximately 40 litres. It is
emptied into a closed tank.The drainage system is always
emptied after the water system has been emptied.
1. Connect a closed tank to the drainage valve's cone. Open
the valve and empty the tank. The handle is in the open
position when it is parallel with the caravan lengthways.
2. Then carry the closed tank away and empty it in a
specified place.

The taps in the washroom and at the sink
should be left open. The drainage valve for
the water heater and the air screw for the water
heater should be left open. The drainage valve
for the water and drain tank must be closed.
The caravan must not be tilting forwards
when emptying the drainage system.

Cleaning the drainage tank
After the drainage system has been used for a period,
there may be coatings of e.g. food grease and soap in
hoses and in the tank. You should therefore clean the
system at regular intervals. It is best to do this before
pitching the caravan for the winter.
1. Fill the tank with 15 litres of hot water (not warmer
then 65º C) mixed with chlorine, by pouring in half
the mixture at the washing-up sink and half the
mixture at the wash unit.
2. Drive the caravan for a few kilometres to allow the
solution to swish around in the tank.
3. Empty the drainage system and the tank in accordance
with "Emptying the drainage system".
