Gray Water Drain Valve

Gray water valve will not open with the switch. I can hear the motor run, but no water. The instructions in the manual are of little help. Does anyone have experience opening the valve manually? Thanks in advance!!

I went on line to find instructions for disconnecting the knife valve from the rod coming out of the motor. A rack and pinion setupI think. Send me a PM with your e-mail if you can't find something on-line, and I'll go out to Titus and find my paper copy and scan it and send it to you. An open end wrench and an allen wrench if I remember correctly.

Found a post by Boxter1971 from 2015 He had a pdf link to the Barker schematic. I will try again. Thanks for the help.

The hose could have a kink in it, let it all the way out and check for a flat spot.

Try emptying the black tank to be sure that the problem is really in the gray tank valve and not elsewhere.
