Emptying

• 1). Check the capacity of the waste tank by visually inspecting the chamber, by separating the two tanks and opening the waste valve, or by looking at the indicator panel on the side of the unit, if appropriate. Make sure it is not overfilled before emptying.
  
  
• 2). Securely close the waste valve handle. Separate the tanks by sliding the lock at the front of the unit and then lifting off the upper tank.
  
  
• 3). Take the waste tank to a permanent toilet that is connected to either the main sewer supply or a storage tank.
  
  
• 4). Rotate the pouring spout and drain the unit into the toilet. Press the air relief button located on the top of the unit. This will ensure a smooth flow and avoid splashing.
  
  
• 5). Rinse the waste tank with clean water. Return the pouring spout to its original position. Repeat the procedures outlined under "Preparation" to return the Porta Potti to service.
