Setup Instructions

1. Separate Tanks: Ensure the upper freshwater tank and lower waste holding tank are securely latched together. If separated, align and press firmly until latched.
2. Fill Freshwater Tank: Unscrew the water tank cap on the upper section. Fill the freshwater tank with clean water. Securely replace the cap.
3. Prepare Waste Tank: For optimal odor control and waste breakdown, it is recommended to add approximately 0.5 gallons (2 liters) of fresh water and an RV black tank enzyme/deodorizer treatment to the waste holding tank before first use. This can be done by opening the waste valve and pouring the solution directly into the tank. Close the waste valve after adding.

Operating Instructions

1. Open Waste Valve: Before use, locate the handle on the front of the toilet. Pull this handle to open the valve, allowing waste to pass into the lower holding tank. It is important to open this valve slowly to prevent splash-back.
2. Flushing: After use, push the handle back to close the waste valve. Then, locate the piston pump on the upper tank. Pull the pump handle up and push down firmly and quickly to flush fresh water into the bowl. One firm pump is typically sufficient to rinse the bowl.
3. Monitor Waste Level: The toilet is equipped with a level indicator. When the indicator shows red, the waste tank is approaching full and requires emptying.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Emptying the Waste Tank

1. Ensure the waste valve is closed.
2. Detach the upper freshwater tank from the lower waste holding tank.
3. Carry the waste tank using its built-in handle to an appropriate disposal site (e.g., RV dump station, regular toilet).
4. Unscrew the cap from the rotatable waste pipe and extend the pipe.
5. Carefully pour out the waste. The rotatable pipe helps prevent splashing.
6. After emptying, rinse the waste tank thoroughly with water. For enhanced cleaning and odor control, add a few ounces of bleach to the rinse water, swish it around, and let it sit for a few hours before emptying again.
7. Rinse both tanks again and allow them to air dry completely before reassembling or storing.
8. Apply a silicone lubricant to the valve seals periodically to maintain smooth operation and prevent leaks.

General Cleaning Tips

• Regularly clean the toilet bowl with a mild cleaner and a toilet brush.
• To minimize odors and tank volume, consider disposing of toilet paper in a separate waste bin rather than flushing it.
• For continuous odor control, add a few cups of bleach to the freshwater flush tank. This helps kill bacteria that cause odors.
• Thoroughly clean the flush valve on the interior side of the bowl with a high-pressure rinse when emptying the tank to remove any obstructions.

Troubleshooting

• Splash-back during valve opening: Always open the waste valve slowly and gently. Rapid opening can cause contents to splash back.
• Odor issues: Ensure the waste valve is fully closed after each use. Use recommended RV black tank treatments and consider adding bleach to the flush water. Regular and thorough cleaning of both tanks is essential.
• Waste tank dripping: If the orange dump spout drips, the waste tank may be over 90% full. Empty the tank immediately to prevent leaks. Ensure the cap on the rotatable waste pipe is securely fastened.
• Flushing issues: If the flush is weak or inconsistent, check the freshwater tank level. Ensure the piston pump is operated firmly and quickly. Clean the flush valve thoroughly to remove any obstructions.
