Chaparral 420 PREMIERE, Owner'S/Operator'S Manual

Page: 132 / 164

Note: This boat may be equipped with an option-
al overboard discharge valve. Discharging of
sewage directly overboard if regulations permit.
Since direct overboard discharge is prohibited in
many areas, the macerator seacock is normally
closed. The macerator pulls the waste from the
holding tank, grinds the waste into small particles,
and pumps the waste overboard through a hull dis-
charge fitting above the water line.
Turn breaker on, turn and hold key switch at cabin
panel to activate macerator.
Follow These Procedures To Operate The
Macerator:
1. Switch on the MACERATOR switch in the head
compartment.
2. Allow the macerator to run until the holding tank
is empty, but not longer. Running the macerator
when the tank is empty will cause damage to the
pump.
3. When you hear the pump speed up (indicates
tank is empty), immediately turn the switch off.
Maintenance
Prior to each use and at regularly scheduled inter-
vals, cycle the macerator seacock handle open and
shut to ensure proper operation of the seacock.
ENTERTAINMENT CENTERS
The entertainment center equipment options vary
from boat to boat. Refer to the Owner’s Manual
Packet to find individual instructions for the equip-
ment installed on your boat.
