Operating Instructions

Connecting to your RV

1. Position the Tote: Place the Titan Tote on a level surface near your RV's waste outlet.
2. Connect Sewer Hose: Remove the end cap from the integrated sewer hose. Connect the universal bayonet fitting to your RV's waste valve outlet. Ensure a secure and leak-free connection.
3. Open RV Waste Valve: Open the black water valve on your RV first, allowing waste to flow into the Titan Tote. Once the black water tank is empty, close the black water valve.
4. Monitor Fill Level: Observe the AutoStop Level Gauge. This gauge will indicate when the tank is full and prevent overfilling by stopping the flow.
5. Open Gray Water Valve: After emptying the black water, open the gray water valve on your RV to rinse the sewer hose and the Titan Tote. Close the gray water valve once empty.
6. Disconnect: Close all RV waste valves. Disconnect the sewer hose from your RV and replace the end cap on the hose. Store the hose in its designated compartment on the tote.
