Step 4: Flush water into the system by depressing the ush
lever (near the deck) until water starts owing to
the vacuum pump, which requires approximately 15
seconds. e vacuum pump will run for approximately
60-to-90 seconds. When the system reaches operation

the deck until the contents clear the bowl. A sharp pop-
ping noise is normal when the vacuum seal is broken.
Hold the lever down for three (3) seconds. Aer ush-

lever is accidentally released before waste clears the
bowl, do not ush again until the vacuum pump stops
running. A small amount of water remains in the bowl
aer ushing.
Step 3: Do not dispose of sanitary napkins or other non-dis-
solving items in the head. ese items can cause plug-
ging of the system.
