HEAD SYSTEM OPERATION

Your Formula Yacht is equipped with a Sealand
Vacuflush Head System.
For an in-depth description of the operation and
maintenance procedures for the head system
specific to your boat, refer to the manufacturer's
literature located in the "Systems" section of the
Formula Owner Information Binder. The following
general information provides the basics of this
system's operation.

Electric VacuFlush Head—The VacuFlush
system is active when the 12V DC system is
energized and the HEAD PUMP circuit breaker
is turned ON. The head pump creates a vacuum
in the waste system. When the toilet is flushed,
this stored vacuum clears the bowl of waste. The
vacuum pump will run for a few minutes after
flushing to restore vacuum in the system and
then automatically shut off upon reaching the set
vacuum level.
The Electric VacuFlush Head is controlled via a
remote switch. When the GREEN light is
illuminated, it is safe to flush the toilet. To do this,
momentarily press the bottom portion of the
rocker switch. If it is necessary to add water to
the bowl, press the top portion of the rocker
switch. Do not attempt to flush the toilet if the
RED light is illuminated.

VacuFlush Head Remote Switch
The water pump breaker on the 12V DC panel
must be turned ON (not necessary if boat is
connected to dockside water supply). This
provides the water needed for flushing.
Monitor your waste tank level indicator to know
when your tank has reached its full level and it's
time to have it pumped out.
