WASTE-WATER SYSTEM
Your motor home has a self-contained drainage system in
which waste-water and sewage go directly to separate sewage
& holding tanks. All of the plumbing components in the
vehicle are usable even When the drain is capped.
WASTE-WATER DRAINING
Waste-water & sewage enter the holding tanks to be retained
until the tanks can be evacuated into a disposal area. Refer
to the information provided with your toilet system.
Holding tank evacuation is more effective in removing solids
since the dumping action is more effective in removing solids
when the tank is relatively full. DO NOT PULL THE HOLD·
ING TANK KNIFE VALVE OPEN WHEN THE PROTEC·
TIVE CAP IS IN THE SECUR.ED POSITION. Always assure
that the tank is evacuated into an acceptable sewer inlet or
dump station. To evacuate wastes from the holding tank,
proceed as follows:
1.
Obtain a plastic or disposable sewer hose from your
dealer or RV supply store.
2.
Place sewer hose over the termination fitting and
secure by tightening the hose clamp.
3.
Place a container under the drain outlet to catch any
water in the drain, then remove the protective cap
from the drain outlet by turning it firmly counter·
clockwise.
.
4.
Place the plastic termination fitting over the motor
home drain outlet anc;! secure by turning firmly
clockwise, being careful that the clips catch firmly
to hold the line in place.
5.
Insert the ground end of the sewer line into a ground
sewer or dump station outlet, pressing it firmly far
enough into the opening to be secure. In some cases
adapters may be required between the line and the
inlet. Arrange sewer line between motor home
outlet and dump station so that it is free from dips.
6.
Unlatch body waste holding tank knife valve by
<
removing wire clip or unscrewing lock screw. Grasp
the handle fi rmly and slide the valve open with a
tjuick steady pull.
7_
Allow sufficient time for the tank to
be
completely
drained. Rinse and flush tank if necessary, or if the
vehicle is to be stored. When tank is empty, push
handle inward to close valve. Reset retaining clip
or replace cap.
S.
The motor home is also equipped with a dual (grey
water) holding tank so repeat steps 6 and 7 for the
second knife valve. This tank is dumped last to help
flush outlets.
9.
Remove the sewer hose by turning termination
fitting counterclockwise.
10.
Rinse out sewer hose with a separate fresh water hose
or supply, then remove line from ground inlet.
11.
Stow sewer hose and fitting and replace sewer or
dump station cover.
