USAGE LUBRICATE

Medium Every 2-3 years
Heavy Every year
WARNINGS
Do not use any petroleum based lubricants
(Vaseline) on any rubber parts or o-rings
as damage will occur. Use only silicone
based lubricants.
Do not use any ‘Locktite’ brand adhesives on any
plastic or Delrin components as fumes will
cause damage.
Do not use Teflon tape on any air fittings as
clogging may occur.
Your Microflush Marine
Head has an air-operated
Air/Water Sequence
Valve which requires
periodic lubrication with
a silicone based
lubricant. Check your
application at right to
determine how often to
lubricate your Air/Water Sequence Valve. The Air
Cylinder should be serviced if you have to take up
your Microflush Marine Head for any reason. The air
system must be free of moisture. Drain air
receiver regularly to remove moisture.
CLEANING
Use Micro-Clean Organic Spray Cleaner, P/N 24542.
Sanitizers like Lysol, Pine-Sol, Hexol, ammonia
base products, caustic drain openers or
non-biodegradable cleaners should never be used if
the plumbing system is connected to a Microphor
MSD.
1 While depressing the Flush Activator, turn OFF the
water. Allow the bowl cleaner to flow into the
lower chamber. Keep the Flushing Activator
depressed.
2 Insert bowl brush into lower chamber and agitate
mixture carefully. Remove the bowl brush and
release the flush activator.
3 Turn the water ON and flush twice to rinse
thoroughly.
NOTE: LF-310 or LF-320 Stainless Heads may be
subject to surface rusting, especially if salt water is
used for flushing and if bleach or a corrosive product
or cleaner is left standing in or on the bowl. The salt
water will enhance the oxidation qualities of the
bleach (or product containing bleach). If it sits on the
stainless and the surface remains damp, the chrome
and nickel will etch out of the stainless, leaving ferrite
iron, which will rust. If bleach or any cleaner is used,
it must be well rinsed, not left standing (soaking) in
the bowl or on the toilet, especially in toilets using salt
water.
CLEARING YOUR MICROFLUSH HEAD
If your Microflush Marine Head becomes plugged,
shut off the water supply, press the flush handle and
hold. The flapper will remain open until flush
handle is released. Check to see if the restriction
can be removed from lower portion of Microflush
Marine Head with a hooked wire, being careful not
to damage the rubber seal on the flapper or the
mating surface on the hopper. If obstruction cannot
be picked out with a hook or tongs, use plunger by
pushing in slowly and pulling out quickly to pull
object back into the hopper. If necessary, turn air
off and use a snake inserted through a short plastic
pipe placed in hopper. Pipe will protect flapper
seal. If valve will not operate with water off, hold
flush lever down and turn water on and off quickly
to free valve action. When the passage becomes
clear, turn on water and press flush handle to start
flush cycle.
WINTERIZING (out-of-service winter storage)
Shut OFF water to Microflush Marine Head. Flush
Microflush Marine Head three times or until water
no longer flows into the bowl. Unhook water supply
at angle stop. Empty water in line into receptacle.
Shut OFF air supply to your Microflush Marine
Head. The unit is now prepared for freezing
temperatures. OPEN petcocks on drip legs and air
receiver drain after shutting down air compressor
and isolating airlines. Use of Anti-freeze is not
recommended.
