WASTE DRAINAGE SYSTEM
G
ENERAL
Your waste drainage system was designed to provide adequate and safe
storage and discharge of waste materials. All materials used in fabrication of
the system and appliances and fixtures connected thereto are tested and ap-
proved by a nationally recognized testing laboratory. Installation of the mate-
rials is accomplished by approved methods. The entire fabricated waste system
is factory tested in accordance with the NFPA and periodically inspected for
compliance by our factory quality control inspectors along with inspectors of
the Recreational Vehicle Industry Association.
The drainage system uses properly sized ABS plastic pipes and fittings
connected to sinks, toilet and holding tanks, and provides for their drainage to
an outside termination. All fixtures incorporate the use of "P" traps or their
equivalent to provide a water seal against entry of sewer gases from outside
connections. For fixed use, the RV should be reasonably level for best opera-
tion of the system.
TOILET WASTE HOLDING TANK
When using the tank, prime with water containing an odor control chemi-
cal, such as "Aqua-Chem" or "Pink Magic." Place the recommended amount of
chemical in the toilet. Flush the toilet to allow mixing with toilet water. The toi-
let waste tank is now ready for use.
NOTE: Be careful not to spill chemical on your hands, clothing or carpet,
as it may cause an unremovable stain.
To empty the tanks, connect sewer drain hose to the drain line termination
fitting and the sewage receptor. Locate the Wastewater and Sewage dump han-
dles in the utility compartment. Pull the Sewage dump handle. Let tank empty.
Attach a garden hose to the water inlet labeled SEWER FLUSHER. With fau-
cet at full pressure, flush for about 2 minutes or until water runs clear from the
drain hose. Shut off faucet. After the tank empties, push the valve closed. Fol-
low up with gray water rinse by emptying the Wastewater tank in the same
manner.
NOTE: DO NOT use the same hose to fill your fresh water tank that is
used to flush the black tank.
NOTE: Draining gray or sink water tank last will rinse sewer hose of sol-
ids and odor from toilet tank.
