TOILET
Clean the toilet with a mild cleaner. Do not ever use cleaning agents or
deodorants which contain pine oil, formaldehyde or chlorine nor corro-
sive or petroleum based agents. These can damage plastic and rubber
parts in the toilet. Lubricate the pump shaft with Vaseline to increase
the service life of the seal. Flush the toilet system thoroughly with fresh
water when the boat is not in use. Never put any other objects but toilet
paper in the toilet. Under no circumstances is it allowed to flush paper
towels, fabric or rubber products, hard objects, oil products or solvents
into the toilet. In order to avoid various damages, you must also not
pour hotter than lukewarm water into the toilet.
Holding tank
Avoid environmental pollution! The black water tank is fitted with a
deck outlet pump using an international standard type connection.
Using the pump, the black water can be emptied to permanent septic
tanks ashore. These facilities must always be used. In areas where there
are no permanent septic tanks, you should do as follows:
Open the sealed sea valve. If possible empty the tank daily and always
in deep waters far from the shore. The location of the pump is indicat-
ed on the construction drawing. CAUTION! The shut-off valve must be
closed after the evacuation. Do not allow the tank to become full. This
can lead to paper becoming compacted in the bottom of the tank, mak-
ing it more difficult to empty. See the cleaning instructions in the chap-
ter Winter storage.
Spring preparation of the toilet
01
Lubricate the pump cylinder with Vaseline.
02 Flush the system with fresh water.
03
Connect the hoses and open both valves.
04
Check the connections thoroughly for leaks.
Winter lay-up
CAUTION!
Before the boat is laid-up for winter storage, the whole system must
be cleaned and flushed through while the boat is still in the water. The
whole system must be thoroughly drained of water when the boat is
lifted out of the water. This measure prevents frost damage, bacteria
growth and smells.
We do not recommend the use of antifreeze, since it is impossible to
guarantee that it reaches all parts of the system..
