Plumbing Systems and Holding Tanks
3. Turn off water supply to garden hose.
4. Remove hose from black tank flush inlet
connection and store hose.
5. Rinse out the sewer hose with fresh water
and remove the sewer hose from the dump
station.
6. Replace sewer or dump station covers.
7. After rinse water has thoroughly drained
from the black tank, close the knife valve
and replace the termination cap. If you are
parked at a site with a semipermanent sewer
hookup, keep the black water knife valve
closed to allow the waste level to build up.
The outlet will probably clog if you leave the
knife valve open continually. Run enough
water into the tank to cover the bottom. This
will aid the break up of solid wastes.

Please ... Practice good housekeeping when
draining wastes at a campsite or disposal sta-
tion. Leave the site in good order. Above all, do
not pollute.
CAUTION
Do not use the same hose you use for filling the
potable water tank, or for connection to the city water
inlet. This is especially true if you the connect the
quick connect hose to the typical rinsing hoses at
most dumping stations. Use of a different hose will
insure that you will not contaminate your fresh water
supply.
CAUTION
The sewer drain valve must be open when using the
black tank flush inlet.
Holding Tank Care
Since holding tanks don't rely on any sophisti-
cated mechanical devices for their operation,
they are virtually trouble-free. The most com-
mon problem is also an unpleasant one - clog-
ging. You can minimize the chances of clogging
by keeping the following considerations in mind:
• Keep the black water tank knife valve
closed. Fill tank to at least 'I.-full before
draining. Be sure to cover the tank bottom
with water after draining.
• Use only toilet tissue formulated for use in
septic tank or RV sanitation systems.
• Keep both knife valves closed and locked,
and the drain cap tightly in place when
using the system on the road.
• Use only cleaners that are approved for use
in septic tank or RV sanitation systems.
