COMPASS High ECO Owner’s and installation Manual
■
Always use ABYC-RECOMMENDED CIRCUIT BREAKER/FUSE AND WIRE GAUGE.
■
Always be sure unit’s ELECTRICAL POWER is TURNED OFF and that SEACOCKS are CLOSED or in the “OFF” position before beginning work.
■
If Toilet is connected to any through-hull fittings, ALWAYS CLOSE or TURN OFF ALL SEACOCKS when BOAT IS UNATTENDED – even if only for a minimal time.
■
For units using fresh water that are (at any time) connected to shore side municipal water supply systems, SHORE SIDE SYSTEM must be DISCONNECTED IF
BOAT IS LEFT UNATTENDED – even if only for a minimal time.
■
If unit is connected to any through-hull fittings, ALL flexible tubing connected directly or indirectly between toilet and ANY through-hull fitting must be of marine
quality and must be connected to each fitting with TWO (2) STAINLESS STEEL WORM DRIVE HOSE CLAMPS. These HOSE CLAMPS must be INSPECTED
FREQUENTLY TO ENSURE TIGHTNESS, thereby preventing leaks.
■
If unit is connected to any through-hull fittings, PROPERLY INSTALLED SEACOCKS MUST BE INSTALLED to these lines. All seacocks (or secondary valves fitted in
connecting, intermediate tubing) MUST BE FULL-BORE VALVES and READILY ACCESSIBLE to all toilet users. Use lever-actuated, full-bore, marine quality seacocks
and valves. Screw-down gate valves are not recommended.
■
IF WATER DOES NOT FLOW INTO TOILET DURING THE FIRST TWO OR THREE FLUSH CYCLES, it has been improperly installed or has malfunctioned.
Discontinue use of toilet until installation has been corrected or repairs are made. Please review this manual’s Installation section or refer to the Troubleshooting
section.
■
Use ONLY STAINLESS STEEL mounting hardware. DO NOT INSTALL WITHOUT PLASTIC MOUNTING HOLE INSERTS IN PLACE. Failure to properly mount toilet
may result in toilet becoming loose or damaged.
■
Only human waste and toilet paper should be put into the toilet. Never flush FOREIGN MATERIALS (e.g., paper towels, pre-moistened wipes, condoms, feminine
hygiene products, dental floss, household garbage, etc.).
Warning!
Read and understand the warnings listed in this document before you install, operate, or service this system. If you do not obey these
warnings, there is a risk of property loss, injury, or electrocution. Do not make any changes to this unit as this could result in property damage, injury, or
electrocution.
Tecma accepts no responsibility or liability for damage to equipment, injury, or death that may result from the system’s im-
proper installation, service, or operation.
Tecma recommends that plumbing and electrical work be performed by a licensed tradesperson. Local permit and code com-

Warning!
Danger of Electric Shock, Fire and Flooding. Failure to heed these warnings can result in loss of property, injury and death.
Warning!
- Do not leave children unattended to use the toilet. Do not put body parts inside the toilet.
Discharge Hoses
This toilet is designed to discharge waste into a 1.5” ID marine-grade sanitation hose/pipe.
IMPORTANT:
Use only marine-quality reinforced hoses for installation. Rigid PVC pipe may also be used for the discharge line. If using flexible
hoses, avoid sharp bends that may cause the hose to kink and restrict flow, and secure the hoses to prevent abrasion. Always inspect the final installation for
leaks.
HAZARD WARNING
Contact with moving part
ALWAYS
disconnect power to the toilet before servicing. There is a serious injury risk by placing hands/fingers in the bowl discharge because of the
high-speed macerating impeller located directly below the bowl discharge. NEVER attempt to dislodge an obstruction in the pump by placing your hands/
fingers in harm’s way while it is running.
