Repair Instruction Overview:

This document provides a step-by-step guide for replacing the blade in Thetford C2, C3, C4, and C200 toilets. It is intended for use by customer service and technical staff to assist customers or perform repairs.

Tools Required:

• Screwdriver

• Screw cover remover (for C200 toilets)

Procedure:

1. Removing the Sliding Cover:

• For C200 models, begin by removing the two screw covers. Use a gentle levering action to avoid damage.

• Unscrew the 8 screws on the seal cover.

2. Blade Removal:

• Important: Do not remove the blade arm during this process.

• Gently pull the blade out of the blade arm. The blade is pressed into the arm and should come out with careful pulling.

3. Installing the New Blade:

• Slightly lift the blade arm.

• Press the new blade gently into the hole of the blade arm.

• Open and close the blade several times to ensure smooth operation.

4. Lip Seal Installation:

• When placing the lip seal on the waste tank, ensure the thinner flange is facing downwards towards the blade.

5. Reassembly:

• Place the lip seal on the waste tank.

• Screw the seal cover back onto the waste tank using the 8 screws.

• For C200 toilets, press both screw covers back onto the seal cover. Ensure alignment.

• Reattach the sliding cover, making sure the arrows on the cover are pointing towards each other for correct alignment.

Key Notes:

• The blade is specifically designed to fit snugly within the blade arm; careful handling is required to avoid damage during removal and installation.

• The orientation of the lip seal is crucial for proper sealing and operation. Incorrect installation can lead to leaks or operational issues.

• After blade replacement, testing the mechanism's operation by opening and closing the blade ensures that the new blade is correctly installed and functioning as expected.

Troubleshooting Tips:

• If the blade does not move smoothly after installation, check to ensure it is correctly seated in the blade arm and that there are no obstructions.

• Ensure all screws are securely fastened during reassembly to prevent leaks or loose components.
