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, 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 degrees 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 by following the
instructions under 'Storage'. For environmental reasons the use of antifreeze, such as that used in car
radiators, is not recommended.
