PRECAUTIONS DO NOT stand on the Laveo. Standing on the Laveo may cause damage or personal injury. NEVER use the Laveo for any use other than that for which it was designed. Use the Quick Floor Mount Kit by Dry Flush if you are going to install your Laveo in a moving craft or vehicle. Use ONLY power sources supplied by Dry Flush with the Laveo. Using alternate power sources may damage the unit and void the warranty. Your Laveo is water resistant, but NOT waterproof.
SETUP Before you begin using your new Laveo, let’s take a moment to review some of the parts that make it work. You can come back to these pictures during set-up, or in the unlikely chance that you will have to call for technical support. Pictured here are the various parts found on the front side of the Laveo. The Flush Button activates the flush cycle. A single press and release starts the flush cycle.
This picture shows the rear of your Laveo. This is where you can find the various electrical connections that are used to power the Laveo. The Battery Compartment is located at the bottom of the Laveo. It is designed to give the easiest access possible. No tools are needed to remove the battery from the compartment. The Charge Cable is stored in the open edge of the Battery Compartment.
Pictured to the right is the Refill Cartridge. The Cartridge sits below the Trim Top. This is where waste is wrapped and stored. The Cut Outs are provided as a visual aid to align your cartridge correctly within the Laveo. The cartridge is installed into the Laveo with the Cut Outs pointing to the rear of the unit. The Bagging Material is a continuous tube of material over 17’ long. This proprietary material is what locks the waste and smell away for up to several months.
To the right is the view of the inside of the Laveo. This view shows the floor panel located below the Octagon Container. The Square Key is connected to the shaft of the gear box (not shown), and is the part responsible for turning the Octagon Container during the flush cycle. The Octagon Container sits on top of the Square Key, and when the Octagon Container is properly aligned, the square hole in the container will drop down on top of the key.
Getting your Laveo ready for use Your Laveo Portable Toilet comes fully equipped and almost completely ready to use out of the box, but due to shipping regulations and the shipping environment, we ask that you please perform the following: 1. Lift up the toilet seat and remove the white Trim Top beneath it. 2. Carefully remove the Refill Cartridge and ensure that the Octagon Container is sitting properly on the Square Key.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS The picture to the right shows a close-up of the Battery Compartment. We have already discussed the parts that make up this section on Page 4, but now we will discuss how to use these components. The Power Inlet is where the Laveo receives power from the Battery, or from our optional AC Power Adapter. The end of the Power Cable, and AC Power Adapter both use a round Barrel Style connector. This is the same sort of cable used to provide power on many laptop computers.
The picture to the right depicts the Battery and the Battery Cable. The Positive and Negative Connections are made with a Quick Disconnect style Terminal. Gently wiggle the wire connection left to right as you gently pull away from the Battery Terminal to disconnect the Battery Cable from the Battery. The connections to the Battery have been color coded to ensure that the Battery Cable is plugged in correctly when reconnecting the Battery Cable to the Battery. The Fuse Body houses a 7.
INSTALLING THE REFILL 1. Raise the toilet seat and lift off the white trim top piece. 2. Remove the Octagon Container from the Laveo. Place the black disposal liner into the Octagon Container, and roll the top down around the rim as you would a trash can liner. Secure the bag with the large rubber band supplied, and then place the lined container back inside of the Laveo. NOTE: When you replace the container inside the Laveo, be sure that the Octagon Container is properly seated upon the Square Key.
REMOVING WASTE AND EMPTY REFILL 1. Lift the toilet seat and remove the underlying white Trim Top piece. 2. Grab the edge of the Refill Cartridge and lift up the edge to expose the lined Octagon Container below. With the edge of the cartridge sitting on top of the container, pull the liner inside of the container up and over the plastic shell of the Refill Cartridge. 3. Using the supplied bag twist tie, twist and seal the black liner bag. Discard in any trash receptacle.
HOW TO USE YOUR LAVEO In most respects your Laveo works like an ordinary porcelain toilet. After use, press the Flush Button. Your Laveo will turn on and run through a 16 second cycle that will close the Bagging Material around the waste, by twisting and compacting the waste, finally creating a new “bowl” that is ready for use. The seat can be in an upright, or closed position according to your preference.
