Installation
1. Compost is removed from the finishing drawer. Ensure that there is at east 15” in front of
the MOBILE Toi et so that the drawer may be removed from the unit.
2. Insta the unit in a ocation where the safety drain can be connected. This drain exits from
the back of the unit and must s ope downward at a points.
3. Insta in a ocation where the vent pipe can be attached as per the instructions isted
on page #9.
4. Insta in a ocation that is not air tight.
5. Ensure that there is a three-pronged p ug with a GFI (ground fau t interrupter) or 12 Vo t
connection insta ed within 5 feet of the unit.
6. Ensure the MOBILE Toi et is protected from precipitation.
7. The toi et must be insta ed on a eve surface or s oping s ight y towards the back.
1. The vent stack shou d be insta ed as near to vertica as possib e. Maximum of two 45°
bends. DO NOT RUN THE VENT HORIZONTALLY AT ANY POINT.
2. Insert the 3” vent in et coup ing into the 3” ho e on the top of the unit.
3. Position the fan box in the vent stack where maintenance can be carried out
convenient y.
4. If using the f exib e hose, use at the top of the fi ter box so that moisture does not co ect
in the corrugations.
5. A connectors in the vent pipe shou d be sea ed with si icone cau king.
6. Minimize the number of sharp ang es as each reduces vent efficiency. Do not use
any 90 degree e bows, since this wi reduce air f ow substantia y.
7. Where the piping is taken through the roof, a roof f ashing shou d be used to sea the
insta ation.
1. P ace the fan fi ter box in the vent stack where it is easi y accessib e to
rep ace fi ter materia s.
2. Remove enough of the fi ter materia s (carbon and zeo ite) so that you wi
on y have about 1/2” (12mm) of carbon in one fi ter bag and 1/2” (12mm) of
zeo ite in the other fi ter bag (too much fi ter materia s wi stop the air-f ow in
the composting unit).
3. P ace the zeo ite and carbon fi ters on top of the p astic mesh inside of the
fi ter box. P ace the top of the fi ter box into the bottom of the fi ter box (part
with p astic mesh).
4. When attaching the fi ter box to the vent, use the f exib e vent hose to
connect to the vent from the top of the fi ter box and a rigid coup ing at the
bottom of the fi ter box.
1. Locate the area on the roof where the vent wi be insta ed.
2. Cut a 3” diameter ho e through the roof where the toi et wi be ocated.
3. Insta the 3” vent through the roof and ibera y app y the se f- eve ing roof sea ant
around the edges of the vent. Comp ete y sea a seams and areas where water can
penetrate. Let this cure before inspecting the vent and app ying more sea ant as
necessary.
4. Insta deck or roof vent according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
DECK VENT NOT SUPPLIED: Purchase a deck vent which fits the decor and function of
your mobi e vehic e. The deck fitting shou d discourage downdraft and a so prevent iquid
(especia y sea-water) from entering the toi et. It shou d a so encourage venti ation of the
toi et at a times.
The safety drain must be connected as it wi be required in a insta ations.
- Remove the orange cap from one side of the overf ow drain assemb y.
- P ace a 1” hose c amp over the end of the drain hose that wi be connected to the
overf ow drain assemb y.
- Push the drain hose over the ribbed end of the over-f ow drain and c amp with the 1” SS
hose c amp.
- Connect the 1” hose to an approved drainage faci ity.
- The safety drain is gravity fed. The drain hose must be be ow the eve of the safety drain
in order to function.
