Vacuflush Head System
The VacuFlush Head consists of a virtuous china bowl, vacuum pump with tank, and a
holding tank. To operate the head, the head and water press. switches on the DC panel must be
in the "on" position. This provides power to the vacuum pump, and pressurizes the fresh water
system. Since this unit uses freshwater, it is not necessary to open a seacock prior to use.
Instructions on the operation of your VacuFlush head are as follows:
1. Verify that the switches on the DC panel are in the "on" position
2. To add water prior to flushing, raise the flush lever on the bowl until the desired level is
reached.
3. To flush, depress the flush lever sharply until contents clear the bowl. A sharp popping noise
is normal when the vacuum seal is broken and flushing begins. Be sure to hold the lever
down for 3 seconds.
Do not dispose of sanitary napkins or other non dissolving items in the toilet. Also, do not attempt
to flush facial tissue, paper towels, or large quantities of toilet paper.
Located on the aft head wall is a monitor which displays the fill level of the holding tank
When the tank is filled, it can be discharged overboard or emptied through the deck pump-out
fitting. Following are instructions on both operations:
Overboard Discharge
1. Open the discharge seacock located under the aft berth subfloor with the disch. I.D. tag. This
seacock must be open prior to discharge to prevent damage to the discharge pump. To
access, take out the center cushion and remove the compartment cover board.
2. Supply power to the pump at the DC panel using the switch labeled Holding Tank Dis-
charge.
3. Engage the pump using the key switch in the Tankmanager panel on the aft head wall. Turn
the switch to the manual position. The discharge pump will run until the Tankmanager panel
indicates the tank is empty.
4. Close the discharge seacock when the tank is empty.
Overboard discharge seacock must be sealed and secured in the closed position in accordance
with the laws in your boating area.
Deck Pump-out
1. Remove the cap from the deck pump-out fitting located in the starboard walkaround.
2. Connect a vacuum hose from a pump-out station to the deck fitting and run until the tank is
empty. Replace the cap on the deck pump-out fitting.
