10) Operating the marine toilet
The manually operated marine toilet, fitted as
standard, discharges overboard. Complete operating
and maintenance instructions are delivered together
with this MANUAL.
The following brief instructions should, however, be
read before use:
A) Before use see that the seacocks for both intake
and discharge lines (the gate valves on the through-
hull fittings) are open. The seacock for the intake
line is located below the sole in the forecabin (plate
18), and the carpet has to be removed to gain access
to the hatch. The sea-cock for the discharge line is
located below the head’s socket in Version A (plate
19), and just behind the head (close to the aft
bulkhead of the toilet room) in Version B (plate 20).
B) Just before using the toilet, open the supply valve
this is done by raising the lever on the side of the
pump cylinder — and pump some water into the
bowl to make it wet.
C) After use: Pump slowly with the supply valve in
its open position, and continue to pump five or six
extra strokes after the bowl is clean to thoroughly
clear the discharge line of all refuse. Then close the
supply valve and pump until the bowl is completely
empty.
NOTE:
The head in the FJORD MS 33 is mounted BELOW
the waterline level. Consequently, unless the supply
valve is completely closed, the bowl will
fill with water and overflow. Thus, whenever you are
sailing, whenever there are rough seas, and
whenever you are leaving the boat overnight, we
strongly advise you to close the seacocks and pump
the bowl completely dry to prevent splashing.
11) Operating the stove
As standard equipment in the galley, you will find a
gimballed two-burner alcohol-stove with pressure
tank incorporated.
