LAVATORY MAINTENANCE
Lavatory with recirculated system
Flush water in the lavatory is recirculated from the
sump tank. If two tanks are used, the upper tank is
the primary sump and the lower tank is the
auxiliary sump. When the main sump tank water is
too soiled for recirculation, the driver can dump it
into the auxiliary tank until a suitable dump location
can be reached. The main sump tank is then filled
with fresh water to begin the cycle again.
The optional top tank holds 13 gallons and the
lower tank holds 13 gallons .
The sump tank may be equipped with a heating
element to prevent freezing during cold weather.
Routine draining and filling of lavatory tanks should
be done prior to parking the vehicle overnight in
freezing weather.

COACH CARE & MAINTENANCE (cont.)
FILLING THE SUMP TANK
Fill the sump tank to half capacity through the water
inlet connector and throw in a packet of commercial
toilet deodorant thru lavatory toilet.
DRAINING THE SUMP TANK
Drain the sump tank once recirculating water in the
toilet is soiled. If equipped with the optional auxiliary
sump tank, drain the lower sump tank contents first by
opening it’s knife gate valve, then drain the upper tank.
Caution: Lavatory tanks should be serviced only at
suitably equipped stations.
Warning: It is illegal to dump sump tank contents in any
location other than a designated service dump station.
When a complete tank draining is required, clean main
tank by repeating the draining and filling operations
with the drain valves open. Once done, close the
valves and drop in a packet of commercial toilet
deodorant into the toilet before starting the final filling of
the main tank.
Warning: The toilet deodorant package contains
chemicals that will irritate the skin. Use rubber gloves
when handling.
Caution: When cold weather is expected, both sump
tanks must be drained if the coach will be parked
overnight or for an extended period of time.
Note: Due to the heat it produces, there is less
likelihood of the tanks freezing while the engine is on.
Note: Sump tank may be equipped with an optional intank heater that automatically comes on when the
temperature of the water drops below 35°F (2°C), or a
thermal valve that automatically opens the drain valve
at the same temperatures.
COACH CARE & MAINTENANCE (cont.)
Wheels and Tires
It is of utmost importance that tires are kept inflated to
their respective recommended pressure at all times.
Tire pressure should be checked before starting the
day’s run, while the tires are cold. Maintaining the tires
at recommended pressure will lengthen the life of the
tires and will insure safe travel and even tire wear.
Note: Recommended inflation pressures are part of the
Coach Final Record found in the Maintenance Manual
provided for your coach. The cold tire inflation
pressures are on the DOT Certification Plate.
Warning: Do not exceed maximum inflation pressure.
Incorrect tire pressure hastens tire wear and could lead
to loss of driving control.
Warning: If replacement tires are different from those
described on the vehicle certification plate, adjust
pressure to specifications listed in the Tire and Rim
Association Manual.
Doors
Open, then close all exterior doors and windows.
Check for tightness and good sealing.
Tools and Spares
Make sure the vehicle is equipped with the following: a
wheel nut wrench, door keys, reflectors, a jack, and a
serviceable fire extinguisher.
Air System
Drain water from main and accessory air tanks daily. If
the vehicle is supplied with an automatic drain valve,
assure it is functioning correctly after the system has
reached full pressure. See your maintenance manual.
Fuel / Water Separator
Open the drain valve on the bottom of the water
separator daily. Close valve after service.
Coolant Level
Check coolant level. Level is correct when visible at the
level window of the surge tank.
If coolant level is low, fill surge tank with a 50-50 mix
of ethylene glycol antifreeze and water. Refer to the
vehicle maintenance manual for further information.
Warning: Hot engine coolant is under pressure. Do
not open the coolant filler cap when the engine is hot.
Allow the engine to cool before adding coolant.
Wheel Bearings
Check wheel bearing covers for overheating during
fuel stops by touching the bearing caps. If
excessively hot, refer to service personnel.
Windshield Washer Reservoir
Check washer reservoir level. Add antifreeze washer
fluid for cold weather service.
Engine Oil
Check engine oil level with vehicle parked on flat
ground. Engage parking brake whenever checking
items in the engine compartment.
Belts
Inspect belts for looseness (noise) or cracking and
fraying.
Belt tension may be checked with a pressure gauge
– refer to maintenance manual section on engine
service.
Fire Extinguisher(s)
Inspect fire extinguishers for correct service pressure
and current inspection tag.
