5. Add waste holding tank treatment chemical,
available from the dock side pumping station
operator, to the head. Flush at least twice.
Be careful when handling and storing treatment
chem i cals. Not only are they toxic, but they will
also stain and damage surrounding sur face.
It will be necessary to remove the top holding tank
of the portable head to fill with water. Refer to the
manufacturer's literature included in the owner's
packet regarding the use, care and maintenance
of the porta-potti.
The decomposition of waste produces methane,
a colorless, odorless gas that is lighter than air,
combusti ble, and ex treme ly le thal. Always provide
sufficient ventila tion when effecting repairs to the
waste sys tem and allow no odor from the waste
system to go unresolved.
B - 10 BALLAST SYSTEM
The ballast system is a factory installed option and is
available on certain models only. It general it consists
of portable water sacs, hoses, thru-hull fittings,
seacock, ballast pump, controllers, port/starboard
selector switch and switch panel. See Figures B58,
B59, B60 and B61. Access to the seacock, pumps,
hoses, water sacs and other components may be
gained by either opening the ski locker lid or the
engine compartment.

A. Ballast System Operations - Filling
NOTICE
When filling the ballast system it is recommended
to perform the operation in open waters away
from the dock, shoreline, shallow water or other
areas where sea grass, sand, rocks and other
debris may be picked up by the pump. These
items can damage pump system and other
components. Failures related to ingested debris
are not covered by the limited warranty.
1. Unstrap and unfold the water sacs prior to filling.
2. Open the seacock by placing the valve lever
parallel with the valve. This permits the intake and
pumps to draw water from the body of water your
boating on. Note: When not using the ballast
system you should close the seacock by placing
the valve lever perpendicular to the valve.
NOTICE
The ballast system is not designed nor can it be
filled by using a water hose. The water source
is the body of water you are boating on.
Always make sure your seacock is open before
attempting to fill the ballast system. This will
protect the pumps from premature failure.
