Aqua Magic IV
The Aqua Magic IV is equipped with two
operating levers located on the right side of the
toilet when facing the unit. To flush, pull the
black lever forward (clockwise) until rinse clears
bowl, release lever slowly. Movement of the
flush lever opens the waste valve and allows
waste to pass into the holding tank. Water fill is
activated simultaneously with flush lever
(black). The lever should be held open for
several seconds to allow adequate flush water
coverage of bowl to develop. The water fill
lever (white) can be operated independently of
flush lever (black) if more than the normal 2"
automatic bowl refill water is desired.
There are certain items that should never
be put into the toilet or tank. Facial and
other similar tissues: because they have wet
strength and do not dissolve easily. Toilet
paper, especially white, dissolves well after a
period of traveling.
Use only trailer sewage tank deodorizers.
Antifreeze, ammonias, alcohols and
acetones may cause damage to the tank,
valve parts, tank fittings, and drain hose.
For protection against freezing, use
recommended fluids (see Winterizing,
page 35).
Some state and federal parks prohibit drair~ing
sink and bath waters into the ground, although
this is done in the wilderness. Your auxiliary
holding tank will hold this water until you are at
a dump area.
The auxiliary holding tank should be
flushed out periodically to wash away
sediments that may accurr~ulate on the bottom
of the tank. To flush, close dump valve, f~ll tank
with water and then release dump valve. This
volume of water will wash sediment away.
Additional information on the Drain and Waste
System is available in the Service Manual.
