Standard RV Toilet

The RV toilet in your trailer is a design that has been
used for many years� There is only one pedal� This
pedal opens and closes the slide mechanism, and
opens the water valve�
In normal use, depressing the pedal dumps the
sewage and flushes water down the side of the bowl.
Water will continue to run into the bowl for a short time
after the pedal is released�
When you wish to conserve water, hold the hand-spray
head (if equipped) over the bowl and hold down the
thumb-operated lever� When depressing the pedal, all
the water is routed through the hand-spray�
NOTICE
When you dump the bowl of the toilet, make
sure all paper and solids have cleared the slide
mechanism before you allow it to close. Failure
to do so can cause the groove for the slide to
become jammed and the slide will no longer
close completely.
Please refer to the toilet manufacturer's manual for
detailed instructions, maintenance and warranty
information�

Deodorizers and Biological Chemicals

There are many deodorizers and processing chemicals
on the market in tablet, liquid, and powder form� These
not only combat odor, but also stimulate the bacteria
that works to dissolve the solids and tissues in your
waste tank� These chemicals should be introduced
through the toilet prior to use per the manufacturer's
directions� It's also important to always add a few
gallons of water by filling the toilet bowl a few times
and depressing the foot pedal�

Optional Composting Toilet
A composting toilet separates liquids from solids by
diverting liquid to the black water tank to effectively
reduce solid matter volume, which allows the user to
remain off-grid for extended periods� For instructions
on using, cleaning, and maintaining the composting
toilet, refer to the user instructions provided in your
owner's packet�
Turn the battery disconnect switch to ON before using
the composting toilet� The battery disconnect switch
activates the built-in 12V vent fan, which provides
a constant negative pressure to expel moisture and
odorous air through the vent tube on the back of the
toilet to a vent on the roof� The fan must remain on until
the container is emptied and cleaned to ensure proper
composting and to avoid undesirable odors inside the
trailer�
CAUTION
For proper composting and to avoid undesirable
odors inside the trailer, the ventilation fan
connected to the toilet must remain on and run
continuously until the container is removed and
emptied.
