Toilet - Fleetwood 1997 Discovery Owner's Manual

PIUMbiNq SYSTEMS
Your motor home is equipped with a toilet desigued for use in
marine and RV applications. It may differ in some respects
from residential toilets. Please follow the operating instruc-
tions found in your Owner's Illformation Package.
The holding tanks terminate in a valve arrangement that
permits draining each tank separately.
The valves are called knife valves, and are mounted in the
utility compartment located at the left center of the motor
home. A blade closes the opening in the sewer drain pipes.
The blade is connected to a T-handle that is pulled to release
the contents of the tank(s).
During self-containment use, the sewer line is securely capped
to prevent leakage of waste material onto the ground or pave-
ment. Do not pull the holding tank knife valve open when
the protective cap is installed
all
the pipe. Always drain the
tank into an acceptable sewer inlet or dump station.
Whenever possible, drain the holding tanks before traveling.
Waste water and sewage in the holding tanks reduce the
can'ying capacity of the motor home. See the Motor Home
Loading section in the 011 The Road chapter in this manual.
Drain the holding tanks only when they are at least
3f4
full. If
necessary, fill the tanks with water to
3f4
full. This provides
sufficient water to allow complete flushing of waste material
into the sewer line.
During extended or semi-permanent hookups to sewage
systems, waste materials will build up in the tank and cause
serious plugging if the tank valves are continuously open. In
these cases, keep the valves closed until the tanks are
3/ 4
full,
and then drain into the sewage system.

toxic materials.
