Your SeaLand 712-TM09 toilet is designed for years of
dependable trouble-free service. However, during the life
of the product, certain parts may require replacement.
The following is a list of parts kits which may be required
for maintenance purposes.
MODEL IDENTIFICATION
The model identication label is located on the toilet base
under the pedestal cover.
TOILET OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
To properly use the SeaLand toilet, follow these simple
instructions:
1. Use biodegradable tissue such as SeaLand®brand.
2. To add water to the toilet before using, lift or raise
the ush pedal.
3. To ush toilet, push pedal all the way down until
sewage leaves the toilet bowl. Water ow pressures
vary at different locations and therefore, holding the
ush lever down 4-8 seconds may be required. A ow
of 2-4 GPM (8-15 Lpm) is recommended for proper
rim and bowl wash.
4. Allow ush pedal to snap back, which permits positive
sealing around the ush ball.
5. A small amount of water should remain in the bowl.
Note: Holding the ush pedal down longer than neces-
sary results in excessive water usage.
CAUTION: Do not dispose of sanitary napkins or other
non-dissolving items in the toilet.
TOILET MAINTENANCE
CLEANING
The SeaLand toilet should be cleaned regularly for
maximum sanitation and operational efciency.
Clean the toilet bowl with a mild bathroom cleaner,
such as SeaLand®Toilet Bowl Cleaner. Do not use
chlorine or alcohol-based caustic chemicals such as
drain opening types, as they will damage the seals.
If an odor is apparent from the toilet:
1. Clean out system by ushing several gallons of fresh
water through with one cup of liquid laundry soap.
2. Add odor control deodorant in amount specied for
your holding tank capacity after cleaning and every
few days during use.
PREPARING FOR SUMMER USE
To prepare the SeaLand toilet for summer use, turn on
water supply and check system for leaks. Flush toilet,
check for leaks and repair as necessary. Your SeaLand
toilet is now ready for use.

DEODORANTS AND SPECIAL TISSUE
SeaLand toilets require the regular addition of a deodorant product to reduce holding tank malodors and to help break
down holding tank contents. Several factors should be considered in selecting a deodorant product.
Liquid or Granulated: Liquid products obviously work more quickly by readily going into solution. Granulated powder
formulations, on the other hand, have the advantage of requiring less storage space and are less likely to leak if the
package is inadvertently damaged.
Formaldehyde versus Non-Formaldehyde: Dometic manufactures both types of deodorants. Generally speaking,
formaldehyde formulas control odor very effectively at all temperatures and with all degrees of water hardness. SeaLand
Environment-Friendly brand, which is formaldehyde free, is similarly effective.
How Much Deodorant and How to Add It: The deodorant is added directly into the toilet bowl, then ushed into the
holding tank. Follow bottle or package instructions. Conditions of extremely warm weather, longer waste holding time
and larger tank capacities may require more deodorant treatment. Also, to maintain optimum efciency in odor control,
the waste holding tank should be cleaned thoroughly at least once or more each season depending on use.
Why Not Use Household Toilet Paper in Your SeaLand Toilet. Household tissues often contain adhesives which
bond together the paper bers from which the tissue is made. The adhesives prevent the tissue from breaking apart,
and their use in “ultra-low ow” systems can cause system clogging. SeaLand tissue is especially designed for use in
low water toilet systems. Its rapid dissolving properties minimize the amount of residual paper in the holding tank and
allow deodorizers to work more efciently.
SeaLand Brand versus Other Brands: We constantly strive to provide our system owners with effective products that
have minimal environmental impact and good value. Many deodorant products do not measure up to our standards of
performance and value.
