How to Pumpout

Step-by-step instructions

• Wear gloves.
• Thread the adapter into the vessel’s waste deck fitting.
• Remove the rubber tip from the pumpout nozzle assembly (some nozzles won’t let you remove the rubber tip).
• Clamp the nozzle assembly onto the adapter.
• Open the valve and turn the pump on.
• When the sight tube is clear, turn off the pump and remove the nozzle.
