and vent lines, a "gray water" holding tank, and a
"black water" holding tank. The holding tanks make
the system completely self-contained and allow you
to dispose of waste water at your convenience. A flex-
ible sewer hose is required to connect the holding
tank outlet to the inlet of an approved waste water
dump station or sewer system.
The drain plumbing is very similar to that used in
your home. The system is trapped and vented to pre-
vent waste gases from backing up into the motor
home. The drain plumbing is made of ABS plastic,
and is durable and resistant to most chemicals.
Toilet
Your motor home is equipped with a marine-type
toilet.
*
*
To operate the Aqua Magic IV:
To flush, pull the black lever located on the right
side of the toilet forward until rinse clears the
bowl, then release the lever slowly.
The water fill lever (white lever) can be operated
independently of the flush to adjust the level
of water in the bowl.
To operate the SL model:
*
*
Depress the small pedal to add water to the
bowl to desired level. Release pedal slowly.
To flush, depress large pedal until rinse clears
the bowl. Release pedal slowly.
If your motor home is equipped with a toilet other
than these models, please follow the operating in-
structions found in your Owner's Information Package.
Toilet Maintenance
The toilet does not require any routine maintenance.
Clean the unit with a high grade, non-abrasive cleaner.
DO NOT use highly concentrated or high acid
household or toilet bowl cleaners. These products can
damage the finish and valve components in the flush
seal.
The Aqua Magic IV has a removable seat to
facilitate cleaning. To remove seat:
*
*
*
Open both seat and cover.
Grasp assembly on both sides and pull up and
away from you at approximately 45 degrees.
To reinstall, place legs of assembly in rear slots
of cover until you feel the engagement.
Toilet Troubleshooting
Water keeps running into the bowl
On SL models, clean out foreign material in the
groove where the valve blade seats in the bot-
tom of the bowl. Use a bent coathanger, or
screwdriver to scrape the groove. Do not
damage the blade seal.
24
On Aqua Magic IV models, be sure the levers
return all the way. If they don't, there may be
foreign matter on the waste blade valve or seal
in the bottom of the bowl.
Toilet leaks, water on floor
Check water inlet connection. Tighten, or clean
and tighten if necessary.
Refer other toilet leaking conditions to an
authorized Fleetwood RV Service Center.
Foot pedal hard
to
operate or blade sticks
ISL models only)
Spray light film of silicone on blade.
Poor Flush
The levers (AM IV) or pedal (SL) must be held
fully open during the flush. Two to three
seconds is required for a good flush.
Be sure there is enough water in the bowl to
carry waste into the holding tank.
Dumping The Holding Tanks
The holding tanks terminate in a valve arrangement
that permits dumping each tank separately or
together. The valves are called "knife valves". A blade
closes the opening in the sewer drain pipes. The blade
is connected to a T-handle that is pulled to release
the contents of the tank(s). During self-containment
use, the sewer line is securely capped to prevent
leakage of waste material onto the ground or pave-
ment. DO NOT PULL THE HOLDING TANK KNIFE
VALVE OPEN WHEN THE PROTECTIVE CAP IS IN-
STALLED ON THE PIPE. Always ensure that the tank
is evacuated into an acceptable sewer inlet or dump
station.
WARNING: HOLDING TANKS ARE ENCLOSED
SEWER SYSTEMS AND AS SUCH MUST BE
DRAINED INTO AN APPROVED DUMP STATION.
BOTH TOILET AND GRAY WATER HOLDING
TANKS MUST BE DRAINED AND THOROUGHLY
RINSED REGULARLY TO PREVENT ACCUMULA-
TION OF HARMFUL OR TOXIC MATERIALS.
Whenever possible, dump the holding tanks before
traveling. Waste water and sewage in the holding
tanks reduce the carrying capacity of the motor home.
See "WEIGHING AND LOADING" section.
Dump the holding tanks only when they are at least
3/4 full. If necessary, fill the tanks with water to
3/4
full. This provides sufficient water to ensure complete
flushing of waste material into the sewer line.
During extended or semi-permanent hookups to
sewage disposal systems, waste material could build
up in the tank and cause serious plugging if the tank
valves are continuously open. In these cases, keep
the valves closed until the tanks are
3/4
full, and then
drain into the sewage system.
