Cassette Toilet (Option) - Jayco Eagle Owner's Manual

Cassette Toilet (Option)

PREPARING FOR USE
1. Open access door on the right side of the camper and swing
out fresh water fill funnel.
2. Fill the water tank with clean fresh water using a hose or
jerrycan until water funnel level reaches neck. Tank capac-
ity is 3.9 gallons.
3. Replace cap. Swing water fill funnel inward until it touches
side of water tank. NOTE: 150 ml of water will remain in
fill bottle when fresh water tank is empty.
4. Remove the cassette by pressing the retaining clip down.
5. Remove cassette by pulling straight out. When cassette hits
stop, tilt downward slightly and remove (stop for safety
when cassette is full).
6. Position tank vertical and swivel pour-out spout upward.
7. Remove cap. Remove Aqua Kem® from storage compart-
ment. Add given amount of Aqua Kem® through pour-out
spout. Add water until the bottom of the cassette is com-
pletely covered with liquid.
Replace cap and return pour-out spout to its original stored
position. NOTE: The cap of the pour-out spout is packed
together with the instructions for use. Hotter weather or
longer retention time may require addition of more Aqua
Kem®.
CAUTION: Never add Aqua Kem® through the valve
blade or the toilet bowl. Pressure (due to heat and altitude
change) can build up in the cassette tank and cause the
contents of the bowl to splash upward upon opening the
valve blade, if opened too fast.
8. Slide the cassette, pour-out spout facing outside, into the
camper through the access door. Be aware that sliding cover
is placed correctly; the two arrows on top have to be pointed
towards each other.
9. Make sure the cassette is locked with the cassette retaining
clip.

OPERATION
Flushing
10. In order to prevent overpressure at high temperatures or
difference in heights, open and close the valve blade once
before use. Then add water to the bowl by turning the flush
knob in a clockwise direction. When flush knob is released
it will automatically turn back.
11. To flush after use, turn the valve knob counterclockwise and
turn the flush knob. This procedure results in the best bowl
rinse and most efficient use of water. After flushing, turn the
knob clockwise to close the valve blade. The toilet can also
be used with the valve blade open, which allows the waste
to go directly into the holding tank.
Emptying the Cassette
The cassette capacity is 5.3 gallons and should be emptied when
the waste level gauge indicator goes from green to full red. The
gauge does not begin to move from green to red until tank is over
3/4 full.
CAUTION: Do not allow cassette to become overfilled,
see trouble shooting section for emergency emptying proce-
dure. To empty cassette be sure that valve blade is in closed
position.
12. Open the access door on the outside of the camper and
remove the cassette tank by pressing the retaining clip.
13. Carry cassette using lower carrying handle, pour-out spout
up, to a normal household type toilet or other authorized
disposal point. Set cassette in vertical position on ground
and rotate pour-out spout upward.
14. Remove spout cap. Grasp unit by upper carrying handle
nearest to pour-out spout. Place other hand on upper rear
grip so that the air relief valve button can be depressed with
thumb while emptying, to insure smooth outflow of tank
contents. When empty, remove the sliding cover manually
by sliding it towards the pour-out spout, rinse tank and
valve blade area with water. NOTE: Depress air release
valve button only when pour-out spout is pointed down-
wards.
15. If necessary, make the toilet ready for use (see #1-7). Slide
cassette into the toilet and lock the access door.
