IMPORTANT INFORMATION BEFORE OPERATION 1. Fill freshwater tank and add deodorant to holding tank through toilet bowl. 2. Make sure all guests understand the operation of the toilet system and the flushing instruction label is easy for guests to read. This label is located under the seat, and is easily read when the seat is raised. 3. Remember the vacuum pump starts automatically. Shut off the toilet system before servicing and do not leave the boat with toilet system breaker on. 4.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 1. Adding More Water To Toilet Bowl Raise the flush handle until the desired water level is attained. To prevent overflowing the toilet, a timer inside the control module limits the amount of water that can be added. 2. Flushing The Toilet When the vacuum status panel’s green “OK to Flush” light is on, and the red “Do Not Flush” light is off, push the handle down for a moment then release it. Holding the handle down will not prolong the flush cycle nor start a new flush cycle.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE Maintenance intervals and normal parts replacement vary widely depending on numerous factors such as frequency of system use, quality of flushing water, etc. The following chart is intended strictly as a general guide in keeping the sanitation system 100% ready for any conditions of use.
SANITATION SYSTEM COMPONENTS Vacuum Toilet: The Magnum Opus vacuum toilet with Flush and Forget® technology operates differently compared to other toilets. The vacuum system uses a small amount of water (a little more than a pint or .5 liter) per flush in addition to a simple vacuum. The toilet is connected to a pressurized freshwater system. Fresh water is the key to an odorfree bathroom compartment.
SANITATION SYSTEM COMPONENTS (cont’d) Magnum Opus VacuStat™ Indicator Panel: A desirable accessory for vacuum sanitation systems, this panel continuously monitors the status of vacuum for proper toilet operation. Brushed metallic finish complements bathroom decor. Item number 700112 (12VDC). Vacuum Status Panel (optional): A two-light status panel indicates the system is “OK to Flush” or “Do Not Flush”.
DEODORANTS AND SPECIAL TISSUE Your Magnum Opus toilet and sanitation system require the regular addition of a deodorant product to reduce malodors and to help break down holding tank contents. Several factors should be considered in selecting a deodorant product. Liquid or Dry: Liquid products obviously work more quickly by readily going into solution.
FLUSH MECHANISM COMPONENTS 2. Remove access cover. Lift up control module. Disconnect power cable and vacuum control cable from control module. Do not disconnect flush handle cable or base assembly cable. 1. To access base assembly components, remove decorative screw caps and unscrew four bolts that hold china toilet to floor.

MANUAL FLUSH OPERATION In the event of an electrical failure, the flush ball can be manually operated to clear the bowl. We recommend using a long-neck screwdriver or 7/16-in. socket for the operation shown below. NEVER PRY OPEN THE FLUSH BALL FROM INSIDE THE TOILET BOWL. Damage to the flush ball and bowl seals may result. 1. Remove PC board access cover. Place Mode Switch in the “Manual Override” position. This disconnects flush valve motor brake from electrical circuit. 3. Insert screwdriver or 7/16-in.
TROUBLESHOOTING A volt/ohmmeter (VOM) and the Toilet Wiring Diagram may be required for this section. Caution: Portions of this section will require that power be applied to the toilet. Keep hands away from the flush ball, motor drive arm and rotor shaft to prevent personal injury during testing and troubleshooting. The control module uses a microprocessor to provide all the automatic and timing functions. The control module is on the right side under the access cover on the top of the toilet.
TROUBLESHOOTING (cont’d) ERROR CODE CORRECTIVE PROCEDURES Condition Corrective Action Mode Switch in SERVICE position. Return Mode Switch to NORMAL position. Valve Open Limit Switch problem. With the flush valve fully open, check the “VALVE OPEN” status light. If the light is off, then the Valve Open Limit Switch is out of alignment or defective, or related wiring is defective. Valve Closed Limit Switch problem. With flush valve in the fully closed position check the “VALVE CLOSED” status light.
TROUBLESHOOTING (cont’d) SYMPTOM 3. Flush valve will not close. Condition/Procedure Corrective Action Mode Switch is in SERVICE position: • Return switch to the “Normal” position. Foreign object prevents the flush valve from closing and the safety circuit locked flush valve in open position: • Reset the control circuit by putting the Mode Switch in the SERVICE position temporarily, then returning to the NORMAL position. If the flush valve did not close, go to next step.
TROUBLESHOOTING (cont’d) SYMPTOM 8. Water will not stay in bowl and system loses vacuum. Condition/Procedure Corrective Action Put Mode Switch in “Service” Position: • Clean underside of flush valve ball seal of dirt and debris.
