hAZARD OF FLOODing – If the toilet
is connected to ANY through-the-hull fittings,
properly installed seacocks MUST be installed
in all piping connected to through-the-hull fit-
tings. Seacocks MUST be easily accessible to
all users of the toilet or secondary valves fitted
in hoses where they are easily accessible. All
valves MUST be full bore valves and of marine
quality. Screw-to-close gate valves are not rec-
ommended. Failure to do so can result in flood-
ing which can cause loss of property and life.
wARning!
hAZARD OF FLOODing – If toilet
is connected to ANY through-the-hull fittings,
ALWAYS close seacocks when toilet is not in use
(even if boat is unattended for a brief period). All
passengers MUST be instructed on how to close
valves when the toilet is not in use. Failure to do
so can result in flooding which can cause loss of
property and life.
wARning!
hAZARD OF FLOODing – If toilet is
connected to ANY through-the-hull fittings, ALL
flexible hoses must be of marine sanitation qual-
ity and must be secured to ANY fittings (such as
those at seacock, vented loop or toilet) with two
stainless steel, worm-drive hose band clamps at
each connection. Connections MUST be checked
frequently for integrity. Failure to comply can
result in flooding which can cause loss of property
and life.
wARning!
hAZARD OF FLOODing – If toilet rim is
below the waterline at ANY time (during any con-
ditions of heel, load or trim) and is connected to
ANY through-the-hull fittings, properly positioned
ventilated (vented) loops MUST be installed in
intake* or discharge piping to prevent potential
back siphonage of seawater into the boat. Failure
to do so can result in flooding which can cause
loss of property and life.
* if connected to raw water

hAZARD OF FLOODing – If the toilet
uses fresh water for flushing and is connected
directly or indirectly to a shoreside municipal
water system at ANY time, shoreside water con-
nections MUST be disconnected if the boat is
unattended (even if boat is unattended for a brief
period). Failure to do so can result in flooding
which can cause loss of property and life.
wARning!
hAZARD OF FLOODing – If toilet uses
raw water for flushing at ANY time, a raw water
pump controlled by an automatically operating
demand switch MUST NOT be installed. If the
onboard water valve or any plumbing connections
were to leak, the automatically operated pump
would start and could flood the boat. Failure to
comply can cause loss of property and life.
wARning!
hAZARD OF FLOODing – Before
beginning any work on this product, be sure that
all electrical power to the unit has been turned
off and that seacocks are in the CLOSED or OFF
position. Failure to do so can result in flooding
which can cause loss of property and life.
wARning!
hAZARD OF ShOCK OR FiRE –
Always use recommended fuse, circuit breaker
and wire size. Failure to do so can result in fire
that can cause the loss of property and life.
CAuTiOn: Overfilling the holding tank
can create serious damage to the sanita-
tion system, such as rupturing the holding tank
and releasing tank contents into the bilge. To
prevent this possibility, Dometic strongly recom-
mends the addition of a “full” tank safety shut-
down relay to the toilet’s electronic control module
(a pre-wired base is provided for this relay inside
the module). The “full” signal from the holding
tank can be generated by the optional Tank “Full”
Float Assembly, or a TankWatch Level Monitor Kit
(see page 19) A “Power/Tank Full” lighted panel
is also available (see page 19).
