1. Locate the termination valve

• Go to the driver’s side of the trailer.

• Find the termination valve assembly (where you dump the tanks).

• Remove the cap by twisting it off.
  
  

2. Get the sewer hose

• Find your sewer hose in:

  • The bumper, or

  • The sewer hose storage tube underneath.

• Identify the end with the fitting.
  
  

3. Attach the sewer hose

• Line up the hose fitting with the studs on the valve.

• Push it on and twist to lock it in place.

• Important: Give the hose a firm tug to make sure it’s securely attached (prevents leaks/mess).
  
  

4. Place the hose in the dump station

• Put the other end of the hose into the sewer/dump inlet.

• Wear gloves to keep your hands clean.
  
  

5. Drain the black tank (first)

• Find the black tank handle.

• Pull it open.

• Let it drain completely.

• Close the valve when finished.
  
  

6. Drain the gray tank (second)

• Find the gray tank handle.

• Pull it open.

• Let it drain completely.

• Close the valve when finished.

(Tip: Doing gray second helps rinse out the hose.)

7. Rinse the hose (optional but recommended)

• After disconnecting the hose:

  • Use clean water (from a hose or exterior shower) to rinse inside the sewer hose.

• This keeps things cleaner for storage.
  
  

8. Store everything

• Put the sewer hose back in its storage area.

• Reattach the termination cap:

  • Line it up and twist to lock it back on.

Quick Tips

• Always wear gloves.

• Always double-check hose connections.

• Always dump black first, gray second.
