Operating Instructions
•
To clean the bowl, use any liquid or cream ceramic cleaner.
•
To clean the rest of the toilet, including the seat and lid, use a
non-abrasive liquid cleaner. Polish with a dry cloth only.
•
To disinfect the toilet, use a liquid disinfectant diluted in accord-
ance with the manufacturer’s instructions. You may apply it to all
parts of the toilet using a sponge or soft brush as necessary.
2. Normal use
Open inlet and outlet seacocks (and secondary valves if fitted).
Before use, ensure that there is enough water in the bowl to prevent the
toilet paper becoming compacted at the bottom of the bowl.
•
If the bowl is empty, move the Flush Control Lever (key 23) to the
Open ( ) position and pump the handle (key 17) up and down
until the flushing pump is primed and water enters the bowl.
Then Shut ( ) the Flush Control.
•
Operate the pump with long, smooth strokes for efficient and
easy operation.
•
During use, pump as necessary to keep the contents of the bowl
low enough for comfort.
•
Use good quality hard or soft household toilet paper, but do not
use more than necessary.
•
After use, keep the Flush Control Shut ( ) and pump until
the bowl is empty.
•
When the bowl is empty, Open ( ) the Flush Control again, and
continue to pump until all waste has either left the boat, or reached
the holding tank (allow 7 complete up/down strokes per metre (yard)
length of discharge pipework).
Then Shut ( ) the Flush Control and pump until the bowl is empty.
Always leave the bowl empty to minimise odour and spillage.
AFTER USE:
•
SHUT ( ) THE FLUSH CONTROL.
•
SHUT BOTH SEACOCKS
3. Cleaning
HAZARD RISK: Accidental damage.
If the toilet is connected to ANY through-hull fittings that are below
the waterline at any time, and if the toilet or pipework is damaged,
water may flood in, causing the craft to sink, which may result in loss
of life.
Therefore, after every usage, both seacocks (or secondary valves)
MUST be shut.
Whenever your craft is unattended, even if only for a very short peri-
od of time, both seacocks (even if secondary valves are fitted) MUST
be shut.
•
Ensure that ALL users understand how to operate the toilet
system correctly and safely, including seacocks and secondary
valves.
•
Take special care to instruct children, the elderly and visitors.
SHUT SEACOCKS!
NOTE:
Do not put anything in the toilet unless you have eaten it first,
except toilet paper. Do not put in: sanitary towels, wet strength tissues,
cotton wool, cigarettes, matches, chewing gum or any solid objects,
petrol, diesel, oil, solvents of any kind or water more than hand hot.
CAUTION:
Do NOT use aggressive chemical
agents such as Acetone or Bleach because plastic
parts may crack and the enamel coating on the
seat and lid may blister.
CAUTION:
Do not use thick liquid toilet cleansers
or neat bleach. They may damage the valves,
gaskets, seals and the enamel coating of the
seat and lid.
CAUTION:
Do not use abrasive pads on any part
of the toilet and do not use cream cleaners except
for the bowl.

•
Thorough flushing - refer to OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS for NOR-
MAL USE.
•
Regular use - if not used regularly lubrication is beneficial - refer to
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS for FIRST USE.
•
Regularly check all fastenings for tightness and leaks.
If the toilet is connected to ANY through-hull fittings and, if the toilet or the
pipework develops a minor leak, it can suddenly become a major leak that
allows water to flood in, causing the craft to sink, which may result in loss
of life. Therefore, if ANY leak develops you MUST repair it immediately.
REPAIR LEAKS IMMEDIATELY!
Jabsco manual toilets do not normally require main-
tenance during the season, provided that they are
winterised in the autumn and overhauled in the
spring. However, any toilet will benefit from:
