STARTUP 
 

Before using, turn on air compressor in the control 
cabinet (shown on page 6) and fill water tank (page 3). 
Flush a few times until water completely fills the system 
(twice usually does the job).  Flush by pushing and 
momentarily holding the flush button at the rear of the 
stool.  Toilet is ready for use. 
 
 

ABOUT THIS OPERATION MANUAL 

 
The purpose of this manual is to familiarize you with how 
FCM’s portable toilet system operates.  This manual 
contains information for the proper operation and 
maintenance of the following: 
 
 

Air Line Components 

 

Microflush Air Operated Toilets 

 

On-Board Sewage Treatment Systems 

 

Chlorinators and Chlorine 

 Water 

Tank 

 

Satellite “Blue Room” 

 
To get familiar with this easy to use toilet system simply 
page through this manual and read the instructions with 
the accompanying photographs. 
 
 

HOW THE MICROPHOR SYSTEM OPERATES 
 
AIRLINE COMPONENTS FUNCTIONS 
 

The Air Filter-Regulator (left bowl) removes moisture and 
dirt from the air line to the toilet to prevent damage.  
Regulator is preset to 60-65 psi of pressure. 
 

    

 

 
The Air Line Lubricator (right bowl) adds a small amount 
of lubricant to the air system to help lubricate the moving 
components of the toilet.  Use a silicone based air tool 
oil for best protection.  A check should be made 
periodically to determine if there is enough oil to 
lubricate the toilet parts.  The oiler should be adjusted to 
add one drop of oil per flush.  The slotted adjustment 

screw is located on the top of the oiler.  Turning 
clockwise decreases the amount of oil, and counter-
clockwise increases the amount of oil. 
 

NOTE:  

Make sure the air supply is shut off before the 

air line lubricator is opened to fill with oil.

 

 
 
 
TOILET FUNCTION 

 
Human waste enters the Microphor Air Operated Toilet.  
When the toilet is flushed, the flapper at the bottom of 
the bowel opens allowing the effluent (waste water) to 
enter the hopper below.  At the same time fresh water 
from the rim washes the bowl.  After about six seconds 
the flapper closes and fresh water fills the bowl.  At the 
same time compressed air enters the hopper and 
pushes the influent through the waste line into the 
Treatment Tank. 
 

 

 
 
TOILET REQUIREMENTS 
 

Air: 

Supply compressed air at 60-65 psi at the 

toilet. 

 

Water: 

Gravity fed 

 

Flush Activator:

 Toilet mounted at the rear.  

Some units may have an optional remote 
mounted flush activator button. 

Air/Water Valve:

 The air and water (A/W) 

sequence valve is the air controlled valve that 
operates the toilet.  The valve is mounted at the 
rear of the toilet stool where the water line 
enters the stool.
