Subtask 38-31-00-810-101-D
A. If the toilet(s) does (do) not flush normally:
Subtask 38-31-00-710-089-A - Do the blockage removal task AMM 38-30-00-615-002.
- Remove the blockage from the inlet area of the waste tank AMM 38-31-00-100-007.
NOTE: The most possible areas for blockage build-up in the waste lines are:
(2) If the fault continues: - at the "Y" duct near the tank,
- at the tank inlet ducts.
It is recommended to inspect these areas first.
- Clean the toilet waste lines AMM 38-31-00-100-004.
- Clean the toilet waste lines with crush ice AMM 38-31-00-100-005.
- Clean the flow diverter in the waste holding tank AMM 38-31-00-100-006.
NOTE: It is recommended to clean the waste tank and the waste lines more often to improve the reliability of the system.
B. Do the test as given in paragraph 3. A. and check the correct operation of the toilet system.
