USE OF MARINE HEADS EQUIPPED WITH A WASTE HOLDING TANK

Open the water intake valve (valve handle parallel to the pipe).
In the case of a direct discharge into the sea: Open the draining valve.
In case you store the waste waters in the tank: Make sure the draining valve is closed
(valve handle perpendicular to the pipe).
To drain the bowl, set the control lever of the pump slantwise (FLUSH) then operate the
pump.
To dry the bowl, set the lever vertical (DRY) then operate the pump.
In order to avoid clogging the heads:
- Only use absorbent paper inreasonable quantities.
- Schedule a regular rinsing through of the system with fresh water.
- Always retain a little water in the bottom of the bowl to avoid smells
To empty the tank:
- In an authorized area, open the draining valve.
- In a marina equipped with a system to suck the waste waters, put the sucking hose
into the tank through the deck filler. Start the pump of the sucking system. The filler
caps are opened and closed with an appropriate key. When the tank is empty, check
the cap seal for condition then close the filler.
WARNING
- Ask for information about the laws in force in your country or your marina
about discharging your waste waters into the sea.
PRECAUTION
- Close the valves after each use and above all when the boat is unattended.
PRECAUTION
- Regular check the tank level. High pressure due to too high a level may cause leaks
or more unpleasant troubles.
- To prevent odors caused by organic waste in pipes one should clarify the circuit after
each use.
