Thetford C2 Holding Tank Conversion Instructions
Conversion Process Overview
The conversion involves adjusting the position of the valve and the pour spout on the holding tank to switch between left-hand (LH) and right-hand (RH) configurations.
Steps for Conversion
Initial Configuration Check
- Start by identifying the current configuration of the holding tank. This will determine the direction of the conversion (LH to RH or RH to LH).
Aligning the Triangles for Valve Locking
- For a tank in RH configuration, you will see the triangles on the valve and tank body aligned, indicating the valve is locked to the body.
Twisting the Valve
- Gently twist the valve so that the triangles move to the left about an inch (1"). This action should allow the valve to come away from the tank body easily. It's important not to use force during this step.
Releasing the Pour Spout
- Push the pour spout towards the outside of the tank. This action will release it from the tank body.
Confirmation of Dismantlement
- At this stage, both the button and the spout should be clear of the tank, resembling the provided dismantled tank photo.
Conversion Completion
- Congratulations! You have successfully converted your tank to the desired configuration (LH or RH). To switch to the opposite configuration, simply reverse the procedure.
Important Notes
- No Tools Required: The conversion process is designed to be simple and does not require the use of any tools.
- Avoid Using Force: It is crucial to handle all parts gently throughout the conversion process to prevent damage.
- Reversibility: The process is fully reversible, allowing for easy switching between LH and RH configurations as needed.
Troubleshooting Tips
- Valve or Spout Stuck: If the valve or spout does not move easily, ensure that the triangles are correctly aligned and that no debris is obstructing the components. Do not apply excessive force; gentle pressure should suffice.
- Leakage After Conversion: Ensure all components are securely reattached and properly aligned. Check for any signs of damage to the seals or the tank itself.
