WARNING!

HAZARD OF FLOODING – If the toilet system is connected to ANY through-the-hull fittings, properly installed seacocks MUST be installed in all piping connected to through-the-hull fittings. Seacocks MUST be easily accessible to all users of the toilet system or secondary valves fitted in hoses where they are easily accessible. ALWAYS close seacocks when toilet system is not in use (even if boat is unattended for a brief period. All valves MUST be full bore valves and marine quality. Screw-to-close gate valves are not recommended. Failure to comply 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 quality 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 conditions 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

WARNING!

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 connections MUST be disconnected if the boat is unattended (even for a brief period). Failure to comply 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. Failure to do so can result in flooding which can cause loss of property and life.

WARNING!

CAUTION: Overfilling the holding tank can create serious damage to the sanitation system, such as rupturing the holding tank and releasing tank contents into the bilge. To prevent this possibility, Dometic strongly recommends the addition of a “full” tank safety shut-down relay to the toilet’s incoming electric power wiring. The “full” signal from the holding tank can be generated by an optional Dometic Tank Monitor system.
