4. Using the head
: Only put human waste and marine toilet paper into the head. All
marine heads are very sensitive to clogging and it is a horrible job to unclog.
Follow these steps to use the head:
1. Open the seacocks.
2. Put Y valve in appropriate position.
3. Wet bowl by flushing with intake lever in down position. (toe
on
the pedal)
4. Use bowl.
5. Flush with intake lever down until waste is out of bowl, then
a. if discharging overboard - another 15 times.
b. if discharging into the holding tank - 7 times.
6. Pump bowl dry. Flush with intake lever up. (toe
off
the pedal)
5. General Tips
:
1. The holding tank is made out of stainless steel to minimize odors but we
recommend keeping the holding tank empty whenever possible.
2. The seacock should be closed if the boat is going to be left unattended for
extended periods.
3. Never try to force a pump. This will result in destroying a seal and possibly
causing a leaky head.
