3 Intended use
The SeaLand JW series vacuum generator creates the powerful vacuum of a VacuFlush toilet
system.Whenthetoiletisushed,thevacuuminthedischargelinepullsthetoiletcontentsinto
thevacuumgenerator,whichthenpropelstheefuenttoaholdingtankorotherwastetreatment
device.
3.1 Benefits
Versatile installation. Powerful vacuum pump allows toilet to be located up to 50 ft. (15.2 m) away
and 20 ft. (6.1 m) from holding tank or other waste destination.
Automatic “full tank” shut-down. When installed with holding tank that includes a “full tank” level
indicator, an automatic shut-down relay will stop electrical power to the vacuum generator when
the holding tank level reaches “full.” This prevents holding tank overll which can cause damage
to the toilet system.
Easy maintenance. Two-piece design allows easy access to vacuum tank interior if required.

6.1 General guidelines
6.3 Wiring
Note
Two-toilet VacuFlush systems require a vacuum generator for each toilet.
Note
Make sure to connect toilet discharge hose to inlet tting of vacuum generator.
1. Vacuum generator must be installed
horizontally only.
2. The vacuum generator can be located up to
50 feet (15.2 m) from the VacuFlush toilet,
and 20 feet (6.1 m) from the holding tank or
other waste destination.
1. Wire vacuum generator according to diagram below and Electrical Specications, Section 4.2.
2. Pre-wired connectors (if applicable) can be cut off to complete wiring.
3. Use stranded copper wire. Protect wires with grommets or other protective devices at holes
and sharp edges.
4. Do not overfuse. Overfusing the vacuum generator will result in warranty invalidation.
1. Make sure the vacuum generator is properly located before proceeding. Place the vacuum
generatoronatsurface.Positionasneeded.Usingacenterpunch,markthefourslotted
holes in the pump feet. Remove vacuum generator.
2. Using a 3/16-inch (5 mm) drill bit, drill the four mounting holes. Use #14 wood screws and
washers to secure vacuum generator.
3. Position pump body (g. 1F, page 2) to accommodate plumbing layout, if necessary, by
loosening four fasteners that hold pump onto vacuum tank, rotating pump body to desired
position, and retightening fasteners.
4. Spin-nut connections on inlet and outlet ttings
allow easy installation and positioning of hoses.
After positioning inlet tting in proper direction to
accept inlet hose from toilet, tighten spin-nut
1/2-turn past hand-tight with wrench (g. 3A,
page 2). Use two hose clamps for each hose
connection (g. 3B, page 2).
6.2 Installation and plumbing
Caution – Pump
starts automatically.
Turn off power before
making nal electrical
connection or servicing.
3. The vacuum generator inlet must not be
located more than 6 feet (1.8 m) higher than
the toilet discharge outlet.
4. The maximum head pressure on the
discharge side must not exceed 6 ft. (1.8 m).
5. To minimize standing sewage in discharge
hose, position vacuum generator inlet at
same level or lower than toilet outlet where
possible.

6.3 Wiring (continued)
6.4 Vacuum testing
1. Prime pump with water before performing vacuum test. If vacuum generator is part of
compost system, make sure discharge hose from vacuum generator is not connected to
compost unit during priming process.
2. POSITIVE PRESSURE TESTING IS NOT RECOMMENDED. JW series vacuum generator is
designed to seal with negative pressure (vacuum), and will not hold positive pressure.

7 Operation
WhenaVacuFlushtoiletisushed,vacuumpressurecreatedbythevacuumgeneratorpulls
waste from the toilet to the vacuum generator. The increase of ambient pressure in the vacuum
tank causes the vacuum switch (g. 1 D, page 2) to turn on power to the vacuum generator. The
vacuumpumpbeginstocreatevacuumandpushtheefuentinthedischargelinetotheholding
tank or other destination. After vacuum is restored in the discharge system (about 60-90 seconds,
depending on the installation), the vacuum switch shuts off electrical power, and the toilet system
isreadyforthenextush.
Caution!
Vacuum pump may start automatically. Turn off electrical power before servicing.
