below the water line
vented loops must be installed
as shown in Fig. #2 to prevent back siphoning.
All
thru-hull fittings should include readily accessible
seacocks for safety and to simplify maintenance.
(This recommendation is made by marine
underwriters for all installations.)
1. Mount the unit securely on a flat solid deck (see
Fig. #3 for mounting template measurements)
using stainless steel bolts, nuts and large washers
or use lag screws long enough not to pull out.
2. Use 3/4'' (19 mm) I.D. reinforced hose for intake
connections and 1 1/2'' (38 mm) I.D. sanitation
hose (#SH available from Raritan) for discharge.
3. Fittings and 90 degree bends should be kept to a
minimum to maintain proper performance.
SUGGESTIONS:
A. The use of a Raw Water Strainer (#RWS), on the
inlet line is recommended. This will help keep
odors down and prevent clogging.
B. Intake and discharge thru-hull fittings (if used)
should be as far apart as practical, preferably on
opposite sides of the keel. This will help to
minimize the possibility of discharge water being
drawn back into the intake.
MAINTENANCE
With normal use very little maintenance is required
other than inspection and periodic replacement of
rubber parts. Using C.P. (#1PCP22), a bio-enzymatic
toilet bowl cleaner (available from Raritan
Engineering) will keep the bowl clean and fresh
smelling. Introducing
Raritan Concentrate into
flush water through a Toilet
Water Kit (#TWK) will
deodorize and lubricate the
unit.
CAUTIONS:Using im-
proper deodorants or
cleaners can result in dam-
age to rubber and plastic
parts. DO NOT USE prod-
ucts containing pine oil,
formaldehyde, phosphoric
acid, chlorine or any sol-
vent or petroleum-based
products.
A 3/32" Allen Wrench has
been included in the owners
packet for removal of flush
handle assembly set screw
(#F149VT) if needed.

section of this manual.
