When the waste tank is empty, turn the waste pump
"OFF". Operating the waste pump when the waste
tank is empty can damage the pump.

waste pump "OFF".

Plates" portion of Section 9 for the location of this
plate.
15. Flush the waste tank by pouring a few gallons of
fresh water through the "WASTE" deck fitting.
Reactivate the waste pump and remove the fresh
water and any remaining waste, then turn the
waste pump "OFF".
16. Close the aft waste tank overboard discharge
seacock.
17. Replace the "WASTE" deck plate.
18. Switch the Forward and Aft Waste Pump circuit

Direct Overboard Discharge
NOTE: It is against the law to discharge waste over-
board in many areas of the United States. It is your
responsibility to make sure that you are in compliance
with all applicable Federal, state and local laws when
using your boat's direct overboard discharge system.
People who discharge waste overboard in restricted
areas are subject to significant penalties.
In certain coastal areas of the world it is legal to dis-
charge waste into the sea. To accommodate this proce-
dure Carver offers an optional direct overboard dis-
charge system for your boat. This system is available
only on boats that are exported or used in the coastal
areas of the United States.
