LACK ANK LUSH
Do not use the same hose to fill your fresh (potable) water tank that is used
for the black tank flush.
The black tank flush is also called a "no fuss flush." The fresh water from the non-
toxic drinking water hose goes directly into the black water holding tank where
there is a "sprayer" connection located.
This allows you to clean the black water holding tank by removing debris and
preventing accumulation.
There is a check valve incorporated in the plumbing lines to prevent back flow.
Flush the black water tank each time the grey and black water holding tanks are
dumped or as needed:
1. Dump the black water tank and leave the black tank drain valve open.
2. Connect a garden hose from the water supply source to the "black tank flush."
3. With the water source turned ON, flush the black water holding tank until the
water running out of the black tank drain valve is clear (not discolored or
cloudy).
4. Disconnect the garden hose and close the "black tank drain" valve. Fasten the
sewer hose housing dust cap back on the "black tank flush."
The black tank drain valve must be OPEN any time there is a hose (water
supply) connected to the black tank flush
Do not leave any hose (water supply) connected to the black tank flush when
it is not in use.

OILET
The toilet is efficient and easy to operate. Generally, more water is required only
when flushing solids.
Prior to using the sanitation system, it is strongly recommended to flush the toilet
several times to release sufficient water into the holding tank. If there is not a
sufficient amount of water used during flushing, the waste materials may not
evacuate properly from the drain line to the tank. Clogged tanks and pipes could
eventually occur.
The toilet system will perform better when water is run for ten to fifteen seconds
after flushing to ensure that the waste will proceed to the bottom of the tank.
