INSTALLATION

 Inspection

 Inspect for
 Damage

Remove the "EXCEL AC/DC" carefully from carton. If the product has been damaged,
contact Sun-Mar to determine the best course of action, and :
  i) Note the damage description on the shipping papers.
 ii) If the shipper has left, report the damage immediately to the transport Company.

 Check Carton     
Contents
    and
 Familiarize          
yourself with      
the Product.

Check that the carton contains both the 2" and 4" vent stacks (pipe, fittings, roof flashings,
insulation, diffusors,  a 12 Volt fan for installation in the base of the 4" vent stack), peat
moss mix, and rake.
  i)  Turn the drum handle clockwise to rotate the Bio-drum for mixing and aeration.            
   (The drum rotates counter-clockwise and the drum door shuts).
 ii)  Depress the drum stopper under bowl liner (1993 and prior) or pull the stopper on         
  the front of the unit (1994 and  on) and turn the handle anti-clockwise to simulate              
extraction of compost. 
      (The Bio-drum rotates clockwise and drum  door remains open).
iii)  If 110 volt power is available, plug the unit’s electrical cord into a standard electrical   
       outlet, and put your hand at the top rear of the unit to feel the air movement caused      
   by the fan.
iv)   Pull out the compost finishing drawer (situated below the drum) where the compost     
    drops for finishing.

 

v)  After the unit has been plugged in for five minutes, place your hand on the floor of       

    the evaporating chamber (underneath where the drawer was) to check it is warm to         
  the hand, and the heater and thermostat are functioning properly.
   

Attaching the Footrest

Attaching and
detaching the
footrest

The footrest attaches to the unit into the slot above the drawer by inclining the footrest at
a 45

o

 angle to the floor, inserting the round top edge of the footrest profile into the round

top edge of the profile on the unit, and lowering the footrest to the floor. It is detached in
the same way, whenever it is necessary to remove the finishing drawer, by lifting the
footrest until it is at a 45

angle and then withdrawing it.

Note: 

The footrest is designed as a footrest, it is NOT designed for standing on. 

 

Installing the Toilet

 Space Required

When selecting the best place for your toilet, make sure that there is room (an extra 20" is
required) to remove the finishing drawer from time to time. 

 Other                 
Considerations

The location of the vent stack, and perhaps the emergency drain may determine the best
place for the toilet. Ensure that the toilet is level front to back or is sloping slightly
backwards. The unit should not tip forward.
