Black Tank Flush; Toilet - Jayco Swift Owner's Manual

Black Tank Flush (if so equipped)
The black tank flush inlet is located on the exterior of the recreation vehicle. The location
may vary depending on your model. Attach a garden hose connected to a pressurized fresh
water source to the black tank flush inlet. The water goes directly into the black water hold-
ing tank sprayer connection, allowing you to remove debris and preventing accumulation.
There is a check valve in the plumbing lines to prevent back flow.
Flush the black water tank each time the grey and black water holding tanks are dumped or
as needed.
1. Dump the black water tank (see Gray Tank Drain & Black Tank Drain) and leave the
tank drain valve open.
2. Connect a garden hose from the water supply source to the black tank flush.
3. With the water source turned ON, flush the black water holding tank until the water
running out of the black tank drain valve is clear (not discolored or cloudy).
4. Disconnect the garden hose and close the black tank drain valve. Fasten the sewer hose
housing dust cap back on the tank flush inlet.
The black tank drain valve must be OPEN any time there is a hose (water
supply) connected to the black tank flush.
Do not leave any hose (water supply) connected to the black tank flush
when it is not in use.
Do not use the same hose to fill your fresh (potable) water tank that is used for
the black tank flush.
Toilet (if so equipped)
The toilet is efficient and easy to operate. Prior to using the sanitation system, it is strongly
recommended to flush the toilet several times to release sufficient water into the holding
tank. Generally, more water is required only when flushing solids.
It is important to prevent solid waste buildup. Follow the toilet manu-
facturer's recommended instructions each time after emptying the black
water holding tank.
To prevent help toilet blockage, always use RV grade single-ply toilet pa-
per. Do not flush paper towels, diapers, sanitary napkins or other foreign
objects down the toilet.
Do not use chlorine (undiluted) or caustic chemicals, such as laundry
bleach or drain opening types, in the toilet system. These products dam-
age the seals in toilets and dump valves.
The toilet system will perform better when water is run for ten to fifteen seconds after flush-
ing to ensure that the waste will proceed to the bottom of the tank.
