are equipped with an integrated vacuum breaker
which prevents the possible contamination of the
potable/fresh water supply. See Figure J9. Also refer

To add water to the toilet before using, raise flush
lever until desired water level is reached. Gener-
ally, more water is required only when flushing
solids. See Figure J8.
NOTICE
Usually the dockside pump out connection will
screw into the waste deck plate or has a rub-
ber sleeve that inserts into the plate and must
be held in position during the pump out opera-
tion. If the hose is not air tight or connected
properly, waste could spurt out or leak around
the deck fitting and into the boat.
2.
To flush toilet, press flush lever sharply down to
the floor until contents clear bowl. A sharp popping
noise is normal when the vacuum seal is broken
and the flushing action begins. Be sure to hold
lever down for 3 seconds. If flush lever is ac-
cidentally released before waste clears bowl,
do not attempt to flush toilet again until vacuum
pump stops running. A small amount of water
should remain in the bowl after flushing.

Have the pumping station operator activate the
pumping equipment. The waste will be drawn from
the holding tank and into the pumping station’s
disposal tank.

Do not dispose of sanitary napkins or other non-
dissolving items in toilet, such as facial tissue or
paper towels. These items can cause plugging of
the system. Refer to the “Deodorants and Special
Tissue” section in the manufacturer’s manual for
more information.
Remove the pump out connection from the deck
plate. Add at least 5 gallons of clean water to the
holding tank on most models through the waste
deck fitting using a dockside water hose.

Repeat steps 2 & 3 above to pump out the water
used in step 4 to flush the holding tank.
Add waste holding tank treatment chemical to the
head bowl. It is available from the dockside pump-
ing station or can be obtained from your dealer.
Flush at least twice.
