2. Normal use
Open inlet and outlet seacocks (and secondary valves if fitted).
Before use, ensure that there is enough water in the bowl to prevent
the toilet paper becoming compacted at the bottom of the bowl.
• If the bowl is empty, move the Flush Control Lever (key 23) to
the Open
position and pump the handle (key 17) up
and down until the flushing pump is primed and water enters
the bowl.
Then Shut
the Flush Control.
• Operate the pump with long, smooth strokes for efficient and
easy operation.
• During use, pump as necessary to keep the contents of the
bowl low enough for comfort.
• Use good quality hard or soft household toilet paper, but do
not use more than necessary.
• After use, keep the Flush Control Shut
the bowl is empty.
• When the bowl is empty, Open
again, and continue to pump until all waste has either left the
boat, or reached the holding tank (allow 7 complete up/down
strokes per metre (yard) length of discharge pipework).
Then Shut
the Flush Control and pump until the bowl
is empty. Always leave the bowl empty to minimise odour and
spillage.
AFTER USE:
• SHUT
THE FLUSH CONTROL.
• SHUT BOTH SEACOCKS
HAZARD RISK: Accidental damage.
If the toilet is connected to ANY through-hull fittings that are
below the waterline at any time, and if the toilet or pipework is
damaged, water may flood in, causing the craft to sink, which may
result in loss of life.
Therefore, after every usage, both seacocks (or secondary valves
MUST be shut.
Whenever your craft is unattended, even if only for a very short
period of time, both seacocks (even if secondary valves are fitted)
MUST be shut.
• Ensure that ALL users understand how to operate the toilet system
correctly and safely, including seacocks and secondary valves.
• Take special care to instruct children, the elderly and visitors.
SHUT SEACOCKS!
NOTE: Do not put anything in the toilet unless you have eaten
it first, except toilet paper. Do not put in: sanitary towels, wet
strength tissues, cotton wool, cigarettes, matches, chewing gum or
any solid objects, petrol, diesel, oil, solvents of any kind or water
more than hand hot.

3. Cleaning
CAUTION: Do NOT use aggressive chemical
agents such as Acetone or Bleach because plastic
parts may crack and the enamel coating on the seat
and lid may blister.
• To clean the bowl, use any liquid or cream ceramic cleaner.
• To clean the rest of the toilet, including the seat and lid, use a
non-abrasive liquid cleaner. Polish with a dry cloth only.
CAUTION: Do not use abrasive pads on any part
of the toilet and do not use cream cleaners except
for the bowl.
• To disinfect the toilet, use a diluted liquid disinfectant. You
may apply it to all parts of the toilet using a sponge or soft
brush as necessary.
CAUTION: Do not use thick liquid toilet cleansers
or neat bleach. They may damage the valves,
gaskets, seals and the enamel coating of the
seat and lid.
Servicing Instructions
Jabsco manual toilets do not normally require maintenance
during the season, provided that they are winterised in the
autumn and overhauled in the spring. However, any toilet will
benefit from:
• Thorough flushing - refer to OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS for
NORMAL USE.
• Regular use - if not used regularly lubrication is beneficial -
refer to OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS for FIRST USE.
• Regularly check all fastenings for tightness and leaks.
HAZARD RISK: Leaks.
If the toilet is connected to ANY through-hull fittings and, if the toi-
let or the pipework develops a minor leak, it can suddenly become
a major leak that allows water to flood in, causing the craft to sink,
which may result in loss of life. Therefore, if ANY leak develops you
MUST repair it immediately.
REPAIR LEAKS IMMEDIATELY!
1. Servicing & Winterisation - preparation
Jabsco manual toilets are designed to be user serviceable and no
special skills or tools are required.
• Flush the toilet in accordance with the OPERATING INSTRUC-
TIONS for NORMAL USE and, in particular, ensure that all waste
has left the discharge pipework and that the bowl is empty.
• CLOSE BOTH SEACOCKS (even if secondary valves are fitted)
• If the vessel is being wintered afloat, WIRE SEACOCKS SHUT
• Be ready to clean up any water that may come out of the
system.
2. Servicing - Seal replacement
If water begins to leak around the piston rod (key 29) at the top
of the pump, the seal assembly (key 18) is worn and must be
replaced. YOU WILL need:
