How do you unstick the handle to dump the black tank. not able to pull it out, it feels like it is stuck. Merry Christmas

- I would put replacement on your to-do list. Not a fun job, but kinda important!
- Dumped a week ago, yes it needs to be dumped now. Will check out your suggestion. Thank you

I would loosen the 4 bolts that sandwich it together a little and see if it would then open.- A little more info would help.
How long has it been since you last pulled it open?
Does the black tank need dumping? Or, is it empty?
The seals may just be stuck to the blade.
If mine, I would loosen the 4 bolts that sandwich it together a little and see if it would then open. - Mine was stuck too the first time I used it. Some one on here has mentioned vegetable oil in the tank to free it up. Ill be using that in the spring to get it moving like it should. I had to force mine open.
- We are down south, no cold weather.
- If tank is empty (as it should be in winter) put LOTS of BOILING hot water down the toilet.
Heat up the valve with a heat gun. Don't waste your time with a hair dyer.
Good luck.
