Important Information Before Operation 1. Fill freshwater tank and add deodorant to holding tank through toilet bowl. 2. Make sure all guests understand the operation of the toilet system and the flushing instruction label is easy for guests to read. This label is located under the seat, and is easily read 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.
Operating Instructions 1. Adding More Water To Toilet Bowl Press the “Add Water” switch until the desired water level is attained. To prevent overflowing the toilet, a timer limits the amount of water that can be added. 2. Flushing The Toilet When the flush panel’s green “OK to Flush” light is on, and the red “Do Not Flush” light is off, press the “Flush” switch down for a moment then release it. Holding the switch down will not prolong the flush cycle nor start a new flush cycle.

Maintenance Schedule Maintenance intervals and normal parts replacement vary widely depending on numerous factors such as frequency of system use, quality of flushing 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 (cont’d) Vacuum Toilet: The 3600 series vacuum toilet with Flush and Forget® technology operates in a way different from other marine toilets. Vacuum systems use a small amount of water (a little more than a pint or .5 liter) per flush in addition to a simple vacuum. The toilet is connected to a pressurized freshwater system. Fresh water is the key to an odor-free bathroom compartment.
Sanitation System Components (cont’d) In-Line Vent Filter (optional): The SaniGardTM vent filter has special odor-removing filter materials to help keep your boat smelling clean and pleasant. Heavier-than-air malodors accumulate in the holding tank. This vent filter has a special type of activated filter 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 (see Customer Service).
Deodorants and Special Tissue Your VacuFlush toilet and sanitation system require the regular addition of a deodorant product to reduce malodors and to help break down holding tank contents. Several factors should be considered in selecting a deodorant product. Liquid or Dry: Liquid products obviously work more quickly by readily going into solution.
Flush Mechanism Components 3. Lift china toilet straight up and set it down close to front of mounting adapter. Turn off water to toilet and disconnect flexible water line at rear of base assembly. The toilet is completely disconnected. 1. To access flush mechanism components, remove decorative caps and unscrew fasteners that hold china toilet to floor. 2. Remove PC board access cover and set it aside. Unscrew small screws next to control switches and lift control module.
Manual Flush Override In the event of an electrical failure, the flush ball can be manually operated to clear the bowl. We recommend using a long-neck screwdriver or 7/16-in. socket for the operation shown below. NEVER PRY OPEN THE FLUSH BALL FROM INSIDE THE TOILET BOWL. Damage to the flush ball and bowl seals may result. 1. Remove PC board access cover. Place Mode Switch in the “Manual Override” position. This disconnects flush valve motor brake from electrical circuit. 3. Insert screwdriver or 7/16-in.
Troubleshooting A volt/ohmmeter (VOM) and the Toilet Wiring Diagram may be required for this section. Caution: Portions of this section will require that power be applied to the toilet. Keep hands away from the flush ball, motor drive arm and rotor shaft to prevent personal injury during testing and troubleshooting. The control module uses a microprocessor to provide all the automatic and timing functions. The module is under the access cover under the toilet seat.
troubleshooting (cont’d) ERROR CODE CORRECTIVE PROCEDURES Condition Corrective Action Mode Switch in SERVICE position. Return Mode Switch to NORMAL position. Valve Open Limit Switch problem. With the flush valve fully open, check the “Valve Open” status light. If the light is off, then the Valve Open Limit Switch is out of alignment or defective, or related wiring is defective.
