Safety
Ensure that these instructions reach the owner, the skipper or the operator
of the craft, as it contains important safety information on completion of
installation: Shut the flush control close both seacocks

Installation instructions

Introduction
If the installation of the toilet results in being connected to any through-hull
fitting that may possibly be below the waterline whether when the craft is
at rest, underway, heeling, rolling or pitching, you must install the toilet in
accordance with the present installation instructions. Failure to follow such
instructions may cause water to flood in, which may result in loss of life.
ACCIDENTAL DAMAGE:
If the toilet is connected to any through-hull fitting and if the toilet or the
pipework are damaged, water may flood in, causing the craft to sink with
a consequent possible loss of life. For this reason, if you are making con-
nections between the toilet and any throughhull fitting that may be possibly
situated below the waterline, fullbore seacocks must be fitted to such hull-
fittings, to allow them to be shut off. The seacocks must also be positioned
where they are easily accessible to all users of the toilet. If, for any reason, it
is not possible to do it, then secondary full-bore marine quality valves must
be fitted to the hoses where they are easily accessible.
CAUTION:
Use seacocks! Use lever operated, full-bore marine seacocks and
valves. The use of screwdown gate valves is not recommended.
Pipework loosing
All pipeworks must be fastened both in the gate side and in the remain-
ing ones with a stainless steel hose clamp. Please keep in mind that an
eventual leak might cause the craft to sink, with consequent loss of life USE
HOSE CLAMPS!
Bowl rim below the waterline
If the toilet is connected to any through-hull fitting and if the rim of the bowl
falls below the waterline, water may flood in, causing the craft to sink, which
may result in loss of life. Therefore, if the rim of the toilet is less than 20 cm
(8") above the waterline when the craft is at rest, or if there is any possibility
that the rim of the bowl may be below the waterline at any time, a vented
loop must be fitted in any pipework connected to a through-hull fitting, ir-
respective of whether inlet or outlet. USE VENTED LOOPS!
Original instructions
Special notes The smaller bore inlet pipework is more dangerous than the
larger outlet one. Unless there is a ventilated anti-siphon loop in the inlet
pipework, water will flow into the bowl whenever both the inlet seacock
is opened and the rim of the bowl is below the actual waterline. Although
moving the flush control lever to the "Shut" position will restrict the flow,
this lever cannot be relied upon as a safety device. To make a loop in the
hose without mounting a vent may be as hazardous as no loop at all, be-
cause water will siphon over the loop.
In fact, it is the vent that actually prevents the siphon
Location
• The mounting surface must be flat, rigid, and strong enough to sup-
port a man's weight and should be at least 50 mm (2") wider and
50 mm (2") deeper than the base of the toilet.
• You will need sufficient clearance below the mounting surface to be
able to secure the mounting bolts.
• The seat and the lid should be able to swing open at least 110
degrees, in order they will not fall forward when the craft heels or
pitches. When they are swung open, they must be supported so
that the hinges are not strained.
Mounting
Before starting the assembly, read the complete mounting instruction first.
For the premium mounting, also see pictures as a good complement to the
text. See page 15.
Electrical
The electrical wiring should be independent of all other accessories. It
should be made with marine grade copper stranded wire of the gauge
specified in the electrical specifications chart. Make all wire connections
with mechanical locking type connectors (crimp type butt connectors and
terminals). Ensure the circuit is protected by a proper sized fuse or circuit
breaker determined from the electrical specifications chart. Secure all wires
to a solid surface approximately every eighteen inches (1/2m) along their
entire length of run.

Select a location for the switch panel that is convenient to the toilet user
and will also allow access to run the wires from the switch panel to both
the toilet's motor and the rinse pump as well as from the electrical power
source to the switch panel. The red lead from the panel should be con-
nected to an over-current protected positive power source, see wiring
scheme on back cover page.
Electric Connections
Connect the wires from the discharge and rinse pump as follows:
Panel Red To positive battery
Panel Brown To AquaJet, rinse pump, Positive (red)
Panel Yellow To discharge pump positive (brown)
Rinse pump (blue) and discharge pump (black) to battery negative
To install the switch panel, drill two 1-3/4" (45mm) diameter holes (slightly
over-lapping) through the selected switch mounting surface. Ensure the
template is oriented correctly because it is not symmetrical. Also, drill four
appropriate sized holes for the fasteners selected to secure the switch
panel to its mounting surface. Use the enclosed template, see on back
cover page.
Operating instructions
The toilet is one of the most used pieces of equipment on your boat. Cor-
rect operation of the toilet is essential for the safety and comfort of your
crew and craft.
