IMPORTANT INFORMATION BEFORE OPERATION

1. Fill freshwater tank and add deodorant to holding tank through toilet bowl.

2. Make sure all guests understand toilet operation and that the ushing instruction label is easy for guests to read.

This label (see below) is located under the seat, and is easily seen when the seat is raised.

3. Remember, the vacuum pump starts automatically. Shut off the toilet system before servicing and do not leave the boat with toilet system breaker on.

4. Never use drain openers, alcohol, solvents, etc. in the system.

5. If the system does not function properly, refer to the Troubleshooting section of this manual and repair as necessary. If problem persists, contact your local SeaLand dealer or see the Customer Service section of this

manual.

1. To a dd wa ter to bowl before

using (if necessary), raise ush handle until desired water

level is reached. (Water

ow will stop automatically after a period of time).

To ush, press ush handle down. Water

will ow into bowl for two seconds, then ush ball will open. Toilet will not ush

again until “OK to Flush” light is on.

3. Do not di spose of s anita ry

napkins or other non-dissolving

items in toilet, such as facial tissue or paper towels.

These items can cause

plugging of the sanitation

system.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Adding More Water To Toilet Bowl

Raise ush handle or press “Add Water” switch until desired

water level is attained. To prevent toilet overow, the control module limits the amount of water that can be added.

“off” position and the vacuum must be allowed to recharge before another ush cycle can be initiated. A full holding tank will also prevent the toilet from ushing.

3. Selecting Automatic Water Rell Levels:

The Water Level switch is located under the access cover. Carefully lift up on the front of the cover to access the

Water Level switch. There are three water rell levels available. The microprocessor-controlled water valve will rell the toilet bowl according to your water level selection.

To reinstall the access cover, set the cover on top of the

ACCESS COVER

toilet and press down. This will lock the cover in place and prevent it from coming loose during travel.

LOW Level

CONTROL SWITCHES

Use this setting to conserve water. This position reduces the chance of water splashing out of the bowl during rough travel. If more water is needed for ushing, lift up on the ush handle. Water ow will stop after nine seconds to prevent overow.

MID Level

Use this position to keep the toilet bowl clean, especially when family and friends may be using the toilet. If more water is needed for ushing, raising the ush handle will provide up to six seconds of rell time.

HIGH Level

Use this position if the MID level does not provide a clean toilet bowl. This position is not recommended while underway. If more water is still desirable for ushing, raising the ush handle will provide up to three seconds of additional water rell time.

4. Mode Switch

The Mode switch is located on the right side of the control module. It switches between three function settings:

NORMAL

Use this setting for ushing the toilet.

SERVICE

Use this position for cleaning the toilet bowl and ush ball seal. The ush ball will open automatically and remain open in this position. Lifting up the ush handle provides water.

MANUAL OVERRIDE

Use this position to ush the toilet manually in the event of power or battery failure. This switch disconnects the electronic brake in the ush valve motor, and allows manual ushing via the override access hole in the side of the vitreous china base.

Note: The control module allows 15 seconds of water for cleaning. If more water is required, return

the switch to the NORMAL position then back to the SERVICE position.

A safety circuit in the control module monitors ush ball operation. If foreign objects or low voltage prevent the ush ball from closing, this circuit prevents personal injury or damage to the ush valve motor. If this condition occurs, reset the control module by placing the Mode switch into the SERVICE position temporarily, then returning it to the NORMAL position.

CLEARING DISCHARGE LINES

Sanitation hoses should be cleared if toilet will not be needed for an extended period of time (more than two weeks).

1. Fill toilet bowl with water and add 4 oz. (120 ml) of biodegradable laundry detergent (should

NOT contain bleach).

2. Flush toilet, holding pedal down for about two minutes. Close ush ball.

3. Turn off water supply to toilet.

4. Flush the toilet without water, allowing the vacuum pump to shut off after the ush. Repeat three times. (This proce

dure will minimize any remaining water in the sanitation hoses.)

5. Turn off power to the vacuum pump.

6. Completely pump out holding tank.

If system will be subjected to freezing temperatures, please follow above procedure, then winterize system as described

in this manual.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

Maintenance intervals and normal parts replacement vary widely depending on numerous factors such as frequency of system use, quality of ushing water, etc. The following chart is intended strictly as a general guide in keeping the sanitation system 100% ready for any conditions of use.

SANITATION SYSTEM COMPONENTS

Vacuum Toilet: VacuFlush all-ceramic vacuum toilets with

Flush and Forget® technology operate differently compared

to other toilets. The vacuum system uses a small amount of water (a little more than a pint or .5 liter) per ush in addition

to a simple vacuum. The toilet is connected to a pressurized

freshwater system. Fresh water is the key to an odor-free bat hroom co mpar tment . Most VacuFlush toilets are

equipped with an integral vacuum breaker which prevents the possible contamination of the freshwater supply.

Flush/Add Water Switches (3100, 3400 models only):

Wall-mounted push-button switches provide electronic operation of ushing and adding water to the toilet bowl. Models include two-light vacuum status panel indicating the

toilet is “OK to Flush” or “Do Not Flush”. Models vary.

Vacuum Generator: The vacuum generator combines

the vacuum tank and vacuum pump in one unit. It greatly reduces installation time and eliminates the hose run

between the tank and pump. Their compact size makes them especially well-suited to smaller installation spaces.

Vacuum Tank: The vacuum tank stores vacuum energy.

System vacuum level is monitored by a vacuum switch located on the vacuum tank. When this switch senses

a drop in vacuum in the system, it automatically signals

the pump to energize and bring the vacuum to operating

level. This process is normally completed in less than one minute.

Vacuum Pump: The vacuum pump is an electric,

straight-through bellows type. It is manufactured of longlasting polypropylene and draws only 4 to 6 amps of current at 12 VDC. This unique pump design is both an efcient air and liquid pump that handles solids without a problem. It has two duckbill valves on each side of the pump chamber to maintain vacuum and prevent backow of waste.

“Tank Full” Shut-Down Switches (RV option only):

These “Tank Full” micro-oat switches shut down the vacuum generator when the waste holding tank is full. We offer three styles to accommodate various installation

requirements.

Vacuum Generator Shut-down Relay (standard on RVs;

marine option): This relay can automatically shut down power to the VacuFlush toilet system to prevent overlling of the holding tank. Item number 310289 (12 VDC) or

310290 (24 VDC).

Vacuum Tester (optional): This tool assists in identifying the location of vacuum leaks. The vacuum tester consists of a vacuum gauge and a cone-shaped plug. Inserting the plug in the inlet of the vacuum tank or vacuum generator isolates the toilet from the system. In this way, a vacuum leak can easily be located in either system. Item number

530002.

In-Line Vent Filter (marine option only): The SaniGardTM

vent lter has special odor-removing lter materials to help

keep your vehicle smelling clean and pleasant. Heavierthan-air malodors accumulate in the holding tank. This vent

lter has a special type of activated lter media to remove these odors before they offend. Each cartridge is good for an entire season, and is easily replaced for a fresh start. Replacement cartridges are available.

Holding Tanks (marine option only – not shown):

SeaLand holding tanks are made of super-strong, 3/8”

(10mm) thick polyethylene — 50% thicker than most other

holding tanks. Each features solid, one-piece construction with no seams for unmatched durability. A deodorant additive is recommended to keep the holding tank odor-free. See Deodorants and Special Tissue section for further information (page 8).

MARINE SANITATION REGULATIONS

All boats with xed toilets in U.S. waters and in the waters of some other countries are required to be equipped with an operable marine sanitation device (MSD). The VacuFlush vacuum sanitation system, when installed in a boat, is a holding tank or Type III system as dened by the U.S. Coast Guard. Type III systems are designed to permit operation of the toilet without the direct discharge of untreated waste after every ush. This means onboard toilet facilities can be used when the boat is near swimmers, beaches or shellsh beds.

Type III systems can be discharged at marina dockside pump-out stations or, if in coastal waters, a minimum of three miles offshore. Overboard discharge capability must remain secured while within the three-mile limit. The overboard discharge pump is activated Mswi󵿷cd 󽿨ocated in0thetoiletcumxamtmenu.
