Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Leaks or Odors | Slide valve not fully closed, tanks not securely latched, or seals are dirty/damaged. | Ensure slide valve is completely closed. Check that the upper and lower tanks are securely latched. Inspect seals for debris or damage and clean/replace if necessary. |
| Ineffective Flush | Insufficient water in fresh water tank, or pump mechanism issue. | Refill the fresh water tank. Ensure the piston pump is operating smoothly; if not, check for obstructions or wear. |
| Difficulty Emptying Waste Tank | Air relief valve not pressed, or waste material blockage. | Ensure the air relief valve button is pressed during emptying. If blockage occurs, try adding more water and gently shaking the tank (when sealed) to dislodge. |
