2.
Check the VACUFLUSH panel to make sure the
green light is ON
–under normal
operating conditions the red lamp will light for 1 minute after each flush until the pump
recharges the vacuum to proper operating level, then the green lamp will light.
3.
Check the TANKWATCH panel at the office station daily to make sure the holding tank
light is NOT “red” or full. NOTE: The DC Macerator breaker must be on to power the
indicator lights. Lift up on the foot-operated lever of the toilet to “Pre-Fill” the bowl if
there is not already some water in it. It typically uses one pint of water per flush, but more
water can be added if desired by lifting up on the foot lever.
4.
DO NOT PUT ANYTHING DOWN THE HEAD THAT HAS NOT BEEN EATEN
FIRST
. Please, NO tampons or other feminine products, no hair, no Kleenex, etc. use
the wastebasket with disposable plastic bags (under the sink) to dispose of these items.
RV or MARINE TOILET PAPER IS THE ONLY EXCEPTION! As it is designed to
break up and dissolve in water. Mariah is supplied with this type of paper. Should you
run out, please get more at the nearest marine or RV store. It is prudent to minimize the
amount of marine toilet paper put in the head. If possible, use the wastebasket. A
plugged up waste system can ruin an otherwise great cruise.
5.
Step down on the flush lever for 2 seconds to empty the bowl. If the flush lever is
accidentally released before waste clears the bowl, do not attempt to flush the toilet again
until the vacuum pump stops running (about 30 seconds) and the red light goes out.
CLEANING THE HEAD
There is a toilet brush next to each toilet bowl. Use liquid dish washing soap and water for
everyday cleaning of the toilet bowl. Never use chlorine-based cleaners, caustic cleaners,
chemicals, drain openers, alcohol, solvents, etc. in the system.
MONITORING THE HOLDING TANK
The holding tank should be monitored daily. The TANKWATCH monitor panel is located at the
office station on the inverter/waste panel directly forward from the seat. The gauge will register
the level of the contents of the tank: green for empty, yellow means low, amber indicates mid
level, and
red means the tank is full—DO NOT ADD MORE
.
DISCHARGING THE HOLDING TANK
The WASTE fitting is located just outside and aft of the starboard helm door. Therefore, you will
want a
starboard-side
pump out, if at all possible. If you must empty the holding tank from the
port side, taking the waste hose through the helm station, please place throw rugs, plastic bags, or
paper towels through the helm, including over the thresholds, to protect the surfaces from the
dirty pump-out hose and any potential spills.
This can be a messy job—there is a box of disposable rubber gloves and clean-up rags in the
engine room.
To empty the holding tank at a pump-out station or at a portable holding cart
1.
Locate the deck fitting labeled “WASTE” just outside the starboard helm door.
2.
Open the deck fitting with the key located in the helm drawer.
