• Before using this sys-
tem, read the marine

maintenance manual.
• Look at the side of the
black water holding tank

2. Before using the head,
pump water into the
bowl to wet the sides.
3. After use, pump until the bowl is clean.
4. Pump a few more times to clean the lines.

• Close the intake seacock when the system will not be used for long periods of time.
