IMPORTANT:
When not in use, lever
must be left in the
“
dry
”
position to prevent
flooding.
Before using, place the lever in the
“
wet
”
position and pump slowly to partly fill and
wet the inside of the bowl. Return to the
“
dry
”
position.
After using, return the lever to the
“
wet
”
position for flushing and pump until the
bowl is thoroughly cleaned. Continue with
several more full strokes to flush
discharge lines. Return lever to
“

”
position and pump slowly until bowl is
empty.
There is a possibility of being fined for
having an operable direct overboard
discharge of waste in some waters.
Removing seacock handle, in closed
position, or other means must be used to
avoid fine.
It is illegal for any vessel to dump plastic
trash anywhere in the ocean or navigable
waters of the United States.
Do not place facial tissue, paper
towels or sanitary napkins in head.
Such material can damage the
waste disposal system and the
environment.
OPENING HULL PORTS
If your boat is equipped with opening hull
ports, they must remain closed and
secured while under sail. Your boat could
take on water when it heels, causing
damage to the interior due to flooding or
even possible sinking of your vessel.
All hull ports must remain closed and
secure while sailing
.
PUMPS
All pumps should be checked frequently to
insure proper operation. This is an
especially important regular maintenance
item since a properly operating pump
could save your vessel from serious
damage
.
Run pump only as long as necessary to
remove water. Dry running can damage
the pump motor
Inspect all bilge pump hoses for chafing
and dry rot. See that all hose clamps are
tight. Check that the bilge pump impeller
area is clean and free of obstructions.
Inspect electrical wiring for corrosion.
Ensure that the float switch functions
properly.
SINKING HAZARD

Ensure proper bilge
pump operation.
