The level of compost in the patented Bio-drum should never be more than half full. As a guide, the compost in
the drum should be at least 4 inches from the bottom of the drum door. Compost must be removed from the
drum by following the steps outlined in this section.
Pull the drum lock
button
Turn the handle
counter-clockwise
Level the compost in
the drawer
Allow the compost to
rest
Remove the footrest from
the front of the toilet (All
EXCELS). Pull the drum lock
button out and hold it out
while turning the handle.
While holding the drum lock
button out, turn the handle
counter-clockwise for three
revolutions of the handle.
Release the drum lock but-
ton and continue to turn the
handle counter-clockwise
until the handle hits a hard
stop.
Open the drawer and use
your rake to level the com-
post.
Compost should now be
allowed to rest in the drawer
for 3 - 4 weeks to finish the
composting process.
The drum lock button is attached
to a bar that sits in a molded
depression in the drum. When
you pull the button, you pull the
bar out of the depression which
allows you to turn the drum in
the opposite direction.
The drum door will stay open
allowing compost to fall into the
finishing drawer. Fresh and com-
posted material will be deposited
into the drawer.
Levelling the compost will prevent
the compost from soiling the
patented bio-drum.
This compost will be isolated
from any new waste and should
be left in the drawer for a
minimum of 4 weeks or longer to
finish composting.
Compost maybe be removed at any time that you may need more space in the drum and will need to be removed
more frequently for heavily used units or where the Self Contained toilet is the primary residential toilet.
