cap off the pour-out spout and leave the blade open so the cassette can dry.

may cause permanent damage to the seals and other toilet components.

4.12.5 Winterising / Storage

The Thetford Cassette is easily winterised for storage.
Empty as much flush water as possible by using the flush handle to empty the water into the waste
tank.
Once the pump has been cleared of water place appropriate size container under the drain plug. Empty
any remaining water from the fresh water tank by taking out the drain plug (fig. 15). Empty the holding
tank and clean the unit as described above. Clean the seals and lubricate them where appropriate after
drying. (See cleaning and maintenance).

4.12.6 Cold weather use

The toilet can be used in cold weather conditions provided that the toilet is in heated surroundings.
When the vehicle is not heated for more than a day or night, winterise the cassette.

4.12.7 High altitude and hot weather use

Pressure may build up in the holding tank if the tank is not inserted while driving at high altitudes or in

under pressure.
