The following recommendations do not replace the
information provided by the Manufacturer in the Owner’s
Manual.
Instruction for the use of the marine toilets
• After checking that the sea cocks of the toilet in use are open, place
the lever on top of the pump assembly to the position “fill basin”.
• Flush the toilet by applying at least 20 strokes of the hand pump
as discharge hose is nearly 4 mt. long!
• Place the lever on the “flush basin” position and continue pump-
ing until the bowl is empty.
Cautions
• The toilet’s water inlet and discharge circuits are equipped with
siphon whose top is placed above the water line to avoid danger-
ous siphoning of water inside the vessel through the toilet.
• We recommend you close all toilet valves before sailing.
• This should also be done when you leave the yacht for long periods
at the dock or during the off season.
- When the yacht is laid up for long periods of time, flush the
toilets with fresh water, flush dry and add some Vaseline oil to
lubricate and preserve the toilet’s interior and pipes.
• Never flush through the toilets sanitary diapers, matches, ciga-
rettes, paper towels or non hygienic paper products because they
will inevitably clog the toilets.
• Never use corrosive cleansers to clean the toilet’s bowl. Only use
special lubricating and reconditioning detergents and flush them
thoroughly out.
• When taking apart a toilet for maintenance and repairs, always
close the intake and discharge sea cocks.
Refer to the owner’s manual supplied by the Manufacturer for
maintenance and operating instructions.
