User manual

e U.S. Coast Guard requires a method of re suppression on ev-
ery boat operating within U.S. waterways. MasterCra has made
this an optional installation because of the recognition that needs
can vary considerably. In some instances, consumers may want to
purchase a re extinguisher from an aermarket supplier. Master-
Cra also oers a standard, manual re extinguisher that can be
installed at the time of purchase or at any point aer the fact. In
some models, an automatic re suppression system is available for
the motorbox area. is system operates o a sensor, and there
is no need for the boat operator to manually start it. However, as
with any addition to a boat, there is potential for failure. For that
reason, MasterCra recommends that boats be equipped with a
manual re extinguisher unit as well.
MasterCra further recommends that boat owners include a
check of the re suppression and extinguisher units during the
annual maintenance to be sure that they are always ready for
use. Some units may not require annual checks; refer to the sig-
nage and labeling on the individual units for further guidance.

Head
e following information is provided for the head installed in
a MariStar 280 or X-80:
Preparing the head for use:
Step 1: With the seat lid closed, pull the ush handle to open
the slide valve. en push to close. is relieves air
pressure that may be created in the lower holding tank
due to changes in temperature or altitude.
Step 2: Remove the water cap and ll the upper tank until
it reaches about 1 inch (25 mm) below the opening.
Replace the cap.
Step 3: Pull the ush hand to open slide valve.
Step 4: Pour deodorant directly into the lower tank, then close
the slide valve. Do NOT pour deodorant into the bowl
with the slide valve closed.
Step 5: Stroke the air pump about 15 times or until air emits
through the relief valve on the water cap. Do not over-
pressurize the upper tank by covering the relief valve.
Do not let the upper tank pressurize when it is discon-
nected from the lower tank.
In using the toilet:
Step 1: Before each use, with the seat lid closed, pull the ush
handle to open the slide valve, then push to close. is
relieves air pressure that may be created in the lower
holding tank due to changes in temperature or altitude.
Step 2: Pull the ush hand to release waste in the lower tank.
Step 3: Push the ush button to rinse the bowl. Push the ush
hand to close the slide valve.
To empty the holding tank:
Step 1: When the tank level indicator shows “FULL,” or at the
end of an outing, empty the lower tank.
Step 2: Pull up on the rear latch to separate the upper tank
from the lower tank. Carry the lower tank to an autho-
rized waste disposal area or a normal toilet. (DO NOT
DISPOSE WASTE IN ANY LOCATION, INCLUD-
ING NAVIGABLE BODIES OF WATER, WHERE
SUCH DISPOSAL IS ILLEGAL OR CREATES AN
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD.)
Step 3: Rotate the discharge spout way from the tank and open
the vent on top of the holding tank. Empty the tank.
Step 4: If water is available, rinse the lower tank before reas-
sembling the portable toilet.
