If your boat is equipped with the Vacuflush
®
head, your waste system
is actuated by a HEAD or TOILET SYSTEM switch in the head. It
uses fresh water to minimize odor problems. To add water to the
bowl, raise flush lever until desired water level is reached. Add
deodorizer before using the head. The pedal at the base of the head
evacuates waste and a vacuum forces the waste to the holding tank.
To flush, press flush lever sharply to floor until contents clear bowl.
A sharp popping noise is normal when the vacuum seal is broken.
Hold flush lever down for three seconds. If flush lever is accidentally
released before waste clears bowl, do not attempt to flush toilet
again until vacuum pumps stops running. A small amount of water
should remain in the bowl for flushing. Do not dispose of sanitary
napkins or other insoluble items in toilet. Do not leave VacuFlush
®
power on for extended periods when away from the boat as this can
cause damaging over-cycling if the bowl is not sealed.
Make sure all guests understand the operation of the VacuFlush
®
sys-
tem and that the instruction label is easy to read and in plain sight.
Refer to your VacuFlush
®
manual for complete information about the
operation of the system.
Gray Water System
If your boat is equipped with a Gray Water System, all your drained
water from sinks will go to a gray water holding tank. Chaparral
boats are equipped to have gray water pumped out at the marina.

Overboard Discharge
Important: Overboard discharge of untreated sewage within 12
miles of shore on the east coast and within 9 miles of shore on
the west coast is prohibited by law. Check with the local author-
ities for proper discharge procedures in your area. If your boat
is going to be used on inland waters, have your dealer seal the
overboard discharge portion of your waste system.
