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
damage to the toilet system may occur .
Note
Make sure all guests understand toilet operation before use.
6.3 Indicator lights (requires optional VacuFlush status panel)
“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 .
