Sun-Mar MOBILE - Removing Compost from the Bio-Drum

Removing Compost from the patented Bio-Drum
The level of compost in the patented Bio-drum should never be more than half full. As a guide, the
compost in the drum should be at least 4 inches from the bottom of the drum door. Compost must be
removed from the drum by following the steps outlined in this section.
Compost may be removed at any time that you may need more space in the drum and will need to be
removed more frequently for heavily used units or where the MOBILE/SPACESAVER toilet is the
primary residential toilet.

finish the composting
process.
The drum lock button
is attached to a bar
that sits in a molded
depression in the
drum. When the
button is pulled, the
bar is pulled out of the
depression which
allows the drum to
turn in the opposite
direction.
The drum door will
stay open allowing
compost to fall into
the finishing drawer.
Fresh and composted
material will be
deposited into the
drawer.
Leveling the compost
will prevent compost
from soiling the
patented bio-drum.
This compost will be
isolated from any new
waste and should
be left in the drawer
for a minimum of 4
weeks or longer to
finish composting.
