to a sewer hook-up.
2. Open the black tank dump valve.
3. Turn macerator pump switch (3) "ON."
4. Turn macerator pump switch (3) "OFF" when the tank
is empty.

approved for recreational vehicle sanitation systems.
DO add a special deodorizer or chemical additive
approved for recreational vehicle systems to sanitize
and improve the tank action.

the tanks to fill before emptying.

Using On-Site Sewer Hook-Ups

When staying at a campsite for any period of time where
sewer hook-ups are available, the sewer hose may be
attached and left in place for the duration of the stay.
However, the dump valves should be left closed. They
should be opened only when the tanks are full or when
you are ready to leave the campsite. This will keep solid
wastes in suspension allowing them to drain with the
liquids when the valves are opened. If the valves are left
open, the liquid wastes will drain, leaving the solids to
collect on the floor of the black water holding tank.
Should this happen, close the valves, fill the tank with
water and drive a few miles. A 1/4 cup of dish detergent
added to the tank will help to clean it. The motion of the
vehicle and the water will dislodge the wastes and allow
the tank to be drained in the normal manner.
