Probably an easy question for most - moolah_85224 - 01-21-2006 12:53 I just bought an '95 42 ft. Bird and I tried to empty the black tank and it won't open. The manual says to open it manually with a tool that evidently I didn't get with the coach. How can I empty it? Thanks in advance. Probably an easy question for most - George Lowry - 01-21-2006 16:21 Hi ?????, We like to sign our messages here with name, type coach, and location. I had a '95 WBDA until today when we traded for a new Alpine. Had the same problem until I bought the new valves from Randy Dupree. I used a large screwdriver to pry them. once you get them started, they would open. Just make certain that you have the air pressure up. The new valves work without the need to pry.

The compartment that has your valve opening controls. At the end of the bar, there is a 90 degree angle, the about another 2" length and a half moon cut-out at the end. You use this to Pry up the stuck valve. If you don't have one, then as George said, use a big screwdriver. Air up your coach, and open the valve switch. Gentle prying will open the valve. Once open, you need to lubricate it up. And it doesn't help just to spray lubricant on the shaft. And don't do that!!! That is not where it sticks. If you go to the wanderlodge owners online site, I have a excellent pictorial on how to remove and replace, or just lubricate the valves. It is under the article section, sub-category repair and maintenance. You may need new valve paddles, and those can be purchased from Jeff Miller at the Dupree site that John listed. good luck William Jensen 1993 PT40 WBWL Deerfield Beach, FL Probably an easy question for most - moolah_85224 - 01-22-2006 03:58 --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, "William Jensen" > > On my coach there is a silver, flat metal bar that is screwed onto > the side wall of the grey water tank compartment.
