Waste Holding Tank; Winter Operation - Bailey Approach Advance Owner's Manual

Waste Holding Tank

To keep your waste holding tank fresh and clean,
Thetford has developed a number of different
toilet fluids. Thetford toilet fluids suppress
smells, reduce formation of gas, promote
breakdown of toilet waste and increase the life
span of a mobile toilet. We advise a thorough
cleaning of the waste holding tank once each
season.
Next to using Thetford's Cassette Tank Cleaner,
which is the powerful cleaning agent for the
periodical cleaning of the waste holding tank
of your toilet we suggest the following.
• Remove the removable mechanism from
the waste holding tank by turning it anti-
clockwise and rinse it under a tap.
• Remove the cover plate from the automatic
pressure release vent by prising it up using
a small screwdriver. Use one hand to push
the automatic pressure release vent open
while holding the float of the automatic
pressure release vent on the inside of the
tank with the other hand. Push the float
upwards, turn it 180° and remove it from
below. Remove the rubber seal underneath
the float. Rinse the float and rubber seal
under a tap. Replace the rubber seal and
float for the automatic pressure release
vent using the same method in reverse.
• The rubber seals in the toilet (the lip
seal, the mechanism seal, the automatic
pressure release vent seal and the cap seal)
should be regularly cleaned with water
and treated with Thetford High Grade Seal
Lubricant. This will ensure that the seals
remain flexible and in good condition. If the
toilet is not to be used for any length of
time, it is important to treat the seals with
Thetford High Grade Seal Lubricant after
cleaning.
• Never use Vaseline or any vegetable oil
except olive oil. These may cause leakage
or malfunction. The lip seal is a part of the
toilet that is subject to wear. Depending
upon the extent and manner of use, the
seals will become less effective and will
need replacing periodically.

Winter operation

You can use your Thetford Cassette Toilet as
normal in cold weather as long as the toilet
is situated in a heated location. If there is
a risk of freezing we advise that the toilet is
drained. For environmental reasons the use of
antifreeze, such as that used in car radiators,
is not recommended.
