the groove where the valve blade seats in the
bottom of the bowl. Use a bent coathanger,
or screwdriver to scrape the groove. Do not
damage the blade seal.
On Aqua Magic IV models, be sure the levers
return all the way. If they don't, there may be
, foreign matter ·on the waste blade valve or
seal in the bottom of the bowl.

The blade is connected toa T-handle that is pulled
to release the contents of the tank(s). During self-
contalnmel)t use, the sewer line is securely capped
to prevent leakage of waste material onto the

Dumping The Holding Tanks

to % full. This provides sufficient water to ensure
complete· flushing of waste material into the sewer
line. To dump the tanks:
1. Remove the sewer hose from the storage
compartment. The·sewerhose must be con-
nected to the termination fitting with a clamp.
2. Place a container under the drain outlet to
catch any water in the drain. Remove the
protective cap from the outlet by turning it
firmly counterclockwise.
