Dumping the Tanks:
1. When preparing to dump the solid waste tank, first close the
liquid waste water valve.
2. Fill the liquid waste tank to at least 50% by running water in the
shower or sinks.
3. Use the monitor panel to observe tank fluid levels. When the
liquid waste tank is 50% full stop filling the tank.
4. Open the solid waste water valve. Allow the solid waste tank to
drain.
5. Use the tank flush system.
6. Connect a non-potable water hose, with pressure regulator, to
the flush system fitting located in the service center.
7. Turn on the faucet allowing water to rinse the solid waste tank at
least three minutes. Never operate the system unattended. Ensure
the water flows freely though the drain hose.
8. When completed turn off the faucet and close the solid waste
water valve.
9. Open the liquid waste water valve. The water in the liquid waste
tank flushes any remaining solids from the hose. With the liquid
waste water valve open, run two gallons of water down any
drain to flush the liquid waste tank. The liquid waste valve
remains open until the next drain cycle or departure.
WARNING: Never operate the flush system unattended. Flooding
may occur. Use the tank flush system each time the holding tanks
are cycled. Failure to routinely use the flush system will result in a
clogged spray nozzle. Turn off the water supply when finished
flushing the tank.
10. If preparing for travel, close all valves. Undo any restraining
devices from the hose. Disconnect the hose from the termination
outlet by rotating the fitting counterclockwise 90º.
11. Raise hose and drain using hand over hand method working hose
towards shore fitting. Rinse the hose with outside facility and
repeat the hose drain process.
12. Remove the hose from shore fitting. Install hose in carrier and
lock door. Secure the termination cap (required by law in some
states).
13. If desired, add chemicals to the tanks to control odor. Follow the
chemical manufacturer's directions.
NOTE: Dump the solid waste tank before driving.
