For those of you with the original 'Handihead' on the E29 - I attach the following information. This follows another owner looking for it, so I thought I might as well file it up here as well:

Thanks,

6-4.3 HOLDING TANK TOILET (Handihead)

If you have installed the optional Holding Tank Marine Toilet, please follow these instructions as presented by the manufacturer:

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS


Pour 1 gallon fresh water into toilet thru bowl with trap open and lever on the right side depressed. Close trap and pour 1/2 gallon of water into bowl. The bowl will then be about 3/4 full of fresh water. To this water add one package of Monochem T-5. Depress the trap actuating lever and empty the bowl. Flush the toilet several times by actuating the plastic knob on the left side of the unit with an up and down motion. If the flushing action is weak or spatters, add a little more water. Your toilet is now ready for use.
The bowl trap is operated by the lever on the right side of the unit. To open, press down on lever release and it will close. Most people prefer to take advantage of this built in home-like feature by stroking the pump a few times before using. However, leave the bowl dry while under way.
When the fluid level is within 1/2 inch of the bottom of the bowl opening, the unit is full and should be emptied.
SERVICING INSTRUCTIONS

There are two basic methods of discharge for the Handihead sanitation system. These methods are:

DOCKSIDE DISCHARGE METHOD


Start dockside pump.
When empty, rinse the toilet with fresh water thru the opening in the bowl.
Shut off rinse water.
When unit empty of rinse water, turn off dockside pump.
Recharge with fresh water.
OVERBOARD DISCHARGE METHOD (UTILIZING HAND-O-PUMP)


Open seacock.
Empty toilet by operating Hand-O-Pump.
When empty, rinse the toilet thru the opening in the bowl and fill the toilet with fresh water.
Empty the toilet by operating Hand-O-Pump.
Close thru-hull seacock.
Recharge with fresh water.
IMPORTANT CLEANING PROCEDURE: Where facilities are available, it is best to fill the Handihead with water well into the bowl, and add half cup of cleaner. Flush several times to automatically clean all internal parts. This solution may remain 30 minutes for effective cleaning.

6-4.4 RECIRCULATING HOLDING TANK HEAD SYSTEM (Kracor)

If you have installed the optional recirculating holding tank please follow these instructions as presented by the manufacturer.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE USING


Before charging system with chemical, fill your system with clear water and check all connections for leaks; then empty tank with dockside pump.
Charge tank with water and chemical with the amounts shown on the tank name plate.
Raise lever forward of pump handle and pump slowly to partly fill and wet inside of bowl.
AFTER USING


Raise lever and pump until bowl is cleaned. Depress lever and pump slowly until bowl is empty.

DOCKSIDE DISCHARGE


Start dockside pump and empty tank.
Stop pump when empty. Rinse the toilet with fresh water and Kracor "Dissolve" cleaner. Flush into holding tank.
Restart dockside pump and empty tank. Recharge with fresh water and Kracor "KRA-KEM".
Note: Strainer basket in tank may require cleaning. Condition of strainer can be checked by looking through inspection plate
CAUTION: When discharging unit, entire contents as well as rinse water must be emptied at one time. Partial discharge of Handihead contents will cause clogging in discharge line.

LEVEL INDICATOR: When the liquid level reaches the bottom of the rubber flapper in an open position, the toilet is 3/4 full.

We offer one word of caution: WATCH OUT FOR THE BLUE DYE --

DON'T JUST "RELEASE THE LEVER", you must let the lever down

SLOWLY so the flapper valve will close GENTLY or you might

get sprayed by "the blue dye"
