INSTALLATION OF REPLACEMENT PARTS
Overhaul kits and individual parts for your toilet may
be ordered through your dealer or direct from Raritan.
WINTERIZING
Improper winter lay up is a major cause of marine
toilet failures.
Flush plenty of water through system to ensure
discharge lines are clear of sewage.
Parts Required
• 1 1/2" I.D. discharge hose approximately 3 feet
long.
• One bucket
• Nontoxic antifreeze approximately 1 quart (DO
NOT use ethanol based Antifreeze)
1. Close the intake valve and discharge seacock.
Disconnect and drain the discharge hose.
2. Press water rinse lever and let all water drain from
inlet and rim. Disconnect intake hose and drain
(Fig. 6).
3. Connect short hose to discharge.
4. Pour nontoxic antifreeze in the bowl.
5. Flush toilet until antifreeze begins to be
discharged from toilet (Fig. 6).
6. Antifreeze should remain in the toilet until
recommissioning. This will protect the
discharge side of the pump.
NOTE: Holding
tanks, seacocks and treatment systems
need to be independently winterized, stored
and recommissioned (see manufacturer’s
instructions).
RECOMMISSIONING
1. Reconnect pressurized water hose to inlet valve.
Open water valve for pressurized line if closed.
2. Using a bucket, press inlet valve lever and flush
the antifreeze out of the toilet into bucket. Dispose
of antifreeze properly, in accordance with local
and federal regulations.
3. Reconnect the discharge hose and open seacock.
4. Check all connections for leaks with several test
flushes.
