WASTE WATER SYSTEM

(Holding Tanks)
The drainage system is self-contained and
uses two separate holding tanks to contain the
waste water until it can be dumped at an
appropriate waste water disposal site. This means
you can use the toilet, sinks and shower even in
areas where utility hookups are not available.
The black water holding tank contains the
sewage from the toilet and may include bathroom
lavatory on some models. The gray water holding
tank contains the waste water from the galley
sink and shower, and may include bathroom
lavatory. See "Tank Capacities" for your model
in Introduction section.
The waste drain (sewer) hose has a handle and
valve as a sanitary convenience feature. The
handle makes the hose easier to carry when
placing into a dump site receptacle and when
rinsing and storing. The valve end reduces the
chance of dripping from the hose.
Dumping Holding Tanks
1. Remove the dust cap from the drain outlet and
connect the sewage drain hose. Twist to lock
the hose end hooks onto the pegs on the drain
outlet. Be sure it is firmly attached.
NOTE:The dump valve drain outlet swivels
downward when necessary to avoid
bends in the drain hose which could trap
solids while dumping or to provide more
direct drainage while using on-site
sewer hook-ups.

2. Open the hose end valve (handle) and place
the head of the sewer hose into the disposal
opening. Push the handle forward to open the
valve inside the hose head
NOTE:If the hose end valve (handle) is closed
while pulling the hose to the disposal
opening, a vacuum lock condition will
develop which prevents the hose from
extending fully.
Do not open the holding tank valves until
the hose valve is open. If you open the
dump valve before the hose valve, the
hose will fill with sewage water and be
difficult to move or could cause the hose
to clog.
3. Open the sewage tank valve (black handle)
with a quick pull. Move hose gently about to
dislodge any waste and to ensure complete
drainage. Close the valve as soon as the tank
is empty.
NOTE:DO NOT OPEN BOTH VALVES AT
ONCE. Do not open the gray tank valve
until the black tank is drained and dump
valve closed to avoid sewage back-up
