Marine Head & Holding Tank
•
Before using this system, read the marine
head’s operation and maintenance manual.
•
Look at the side of the holding tank to check
the content level.
•
The dockside pump-out deck fitting is
marked WASTE.
•
Empty the holding tank at every opportunity.
Using the Marine Head
1. Open the head’s seawater intake seacock.
2. Before using the head, pump water into the
bowl to wet the sides.
3. After use, pump until the bowl is clean.
4. Pump a few more times to clean the lines.
5. If excess waste causes the water to rise in
the bowl, stop pumping until the water
recedes.
•
Close the intake seacock when the system
will not be used for long periods of time.
Winterizing the System
Read the marine head’s operation and mainte-
nance manual for winterizing instructions.
Macerator (If Equipped)
To use the macerator to pump waste directly overboard (where regulations permit):
1. Open the underwater discharge seacock.
2. Press both macerator switches at the same time to run the pump.
3. Stop running the macerator as soon as the holding tank is empty.
4. Close the underwater discharge seacock when you are done pumping.
Check with local authorities for regulations regarding the legal use of marine head systems.
NOTI CE
FLOODING and SWAMPING HAZARD!
•
Close the seawater intake seacock when leaving your boat unattended for any length of
time.
•
If the seacock is left open, a hose failure could flood the bilge, swamp the batteries and the
engine, and even sink your boat.
