Red Warning Light: Tank is full and lockout is disabled.
To help prevent a toilet blockage: ALWAYS use RV grade, single-ply toilet paper. NEVER
flush paper towels, diapers, sanitary napkins or any foreign objects down the RV toilet.
NoT using enough water while flushing, could result in clogged pipes or tanks. The average
recreation vehicle toilet uses only one to three quarts (1-3 liters) of water per flush, about
ten times less than a toilet in a home. The toilet system will perform better when water is
run for an additional ten to fifteen seconds after flushing. More water may be needed to
thoroughly flush solids and ensure that waste materials empty from the drain line into the
tank.
Sewage (black) tank preparation
1. Release one to two quarts (1 or 2 liters) of water into the toilet bowl.
2. Pour the recommended quantity of holding tank chemical (customer supplied) into
the toilet bowl, per the manufacturer's directions.
3. Flush the toilet and allow at least two gallons (8 liters) of water to flow into the hold-
ing tank.
Waste (gray) holding tank preparation
No special preparation is required, however, placing a small quantity of chemicals into this
tank, such as baking soda or an approved RV chemical, will reduce odors from food parti-
cles in the system.
NOTE: Limiting the amount of grease and food particles going into the sink drain will
greatly reduce tank residue and odors.
