Operation

6.1 Toilet system start-up

3 . Flush water through entire toilet system by pressing flush pedal for about 15 seconds .
Release pedal, allowing pedal to snap back into original position . Vacuum pump will operate for
about one minute, then shut off .
6.2 Normal toilet operation
ADD WATER TO TOILET BOWL
Lift flush pedal until desired water level is achieved . More water is usually added
only when flushing solids . (If pedal is raised too long, toilet bowl can overflow .)
FLUSH TOILET
Press flush pedal down for about 3 seconds, then release it . Allow pedal to snap
back into original position to assure vacuum seal . It takes about one minute for
vacuum to recharge for the next flush . A small amount of water remains in bowl after
every flush .
If flush pedal is accidentally released before effluent leaves bowl, do not flush again
until vacuum pump stops running .
DO NOT FLUSH FOREIGN OBJECTS
CAUTION! Flush only water, bodily wastes and rapid-dissolving tissue paper .
Do not flush wet wipes, sanitary napkins, condoms, diapers, razor blades, paper
cups, cotton swabs, food, hair or liquids such as oils or solvents . Clogging or dam-
age to the toilet system may occur .
6.3 Indicator lights
"OK TO FLUSH" INDICATOR
On a VacuFlush status panel, a steady green "OK to Flush" light indicates when the toilet is ready
to flush .
"DO NOT FLUSH" INDICATOR
VacuFlush status panels include a red "Do Not Flush" light to indicate two toilet system conditions:
1 . vacuum level in toilet system is not sufficient for complete flush .
2 . holding tank is full and should be pumped out (only when connected to an optional holding
tank level indication system) . When the red light is on, electrical power to the toilet automatically
shuts off to prevent possible overfilling of the holding tank .
