OPERATION:
Note the photos showing
movement of pedal downward. To flush,
press pedal all the way down. To add water,
press pedal halfway down.
When hooked up to a sewer drain at a camp
ground, ALWAYS keep the termination valve
CLOSED until the tank is at least 3/4 full.
This will provide sufficient water to assist in
complete draining of tank.

Using Toilet and Tank System
When camping you should always have 4 to 6 inches of water in the
toilet bowl. The toilet system performs better when you run water 10
to 20 seconds after flushing to ensure wastes will proceed to the
bottom of the tank. Unlike your toilet at home which uses four to
seven gallons per flush, the average recreational vehicle system
uses two to three quarts. If there is not sufficient water used during
flushing, waste materials may not evacuate properly from drain line
to tank. Tank and pipes could eventually become clogged.
!
NEVER leave the gate valve of your coach's sewage tank open when hooked
up to a park's sewer system. Open only when you wish to drain system.
Vents
A very important part of your sanitation system is the vent system in
your coach. These vents release air from holding tanks allowing
water to enter. Vent pipes are attached to the holding tank, go
through the walls. On some models a portion of vent pipe may be
part of the drainage system referred to as a "wet vent". As air flows
upward, water will be draining downward.
