ZERO GRAVITY TOILET

PASSENGERS    ARE    ADVISED    TO
READ   INSTRUCTIONS   BEFORE   USE
1
The toilet is of the standard zero-gravity type. Depending on requirements, system A
and/or system B can be used, details of which are clearly marked in the toilet com-
partment. When operating system A, depress lever and a plastic dalkron eliminator
will be dispensed through the slot immediately underneath. When you have fastened
the adhesive lip, attach connection marked by the large "X" outlet hose. Twist the
silver coloured ring one inch below the connection point until you feel it lock.
2
The toilet is now ready for use. The Sonovac cleanser is activated by the small switch
on the lip. When securing, twist the ring back to its initial-condition, so that the two
orange lines meet. Disconnect. Place the dalkron eliminator in the vacuum receptacle
to the rear. Activate by pressing the blue button.
3
The controls for System B are located on the opposite wall. The red release switch
places the uroliminator into position; it can be adjusted manually up or down by
pressing the blue manual release button. The opening is self adjusting. To secure after
use, press the green button which simultaneously activates the evaporator and returns
the uroliminator to its storage position.
4
You may leave the lavatory if the green exit light is on over the door. If the red light
is illuminated, one of the lavatory facilities is not properly secured. Press the
"Stewardess" call button on the right of the door. She will secure all facilities from
her control panel outside. When green exit light goes on you may open the door and
leave. Please close the door behind you.

To use the Sonoshower, first undress and place all your clothes in the clothes rack.
Put on the velcro slippers located in the cabinet immediately below. Enter the shower.
On the control panel to your upper right upon entering you will see a "Shower seal"
button. Press to activate. A green light will then be illuminated immediately below.
On the intensity knob select the desired setting. Now depress the Sonovac activation
lever. Bathe normally.

The Sonovac will automatically go off after three minutes unless you activate the
"Manual off" over-ride switch by flipping it up. When you are ready to leave, press the
blue "Shower seal" release button. The door will open and you may leave. Please
remove the velcro slippers and place them in their container.
7
If the red light above this panel is on, the toilet is in use. When the green light is
illuminated you may enter. However, you must carefully follow all instructions when
using the facilities during coasting (Zero G) flight. Inside there are three facilities:
(1) the Sonowasher, (2) the Sonoshower, (3) the toilet. All three are designed to be
used under weightless conditions. Please observe the sequence of operations for
each individual facility.

Two modes for Sonowashing your face and hands are available, the "moist-towel"
mode and the "Sonovac" ultrasonic cleaner mode. You may select either mode by
moving the appropriate lever to the "Activate" position.

If you choose the "moist-towel" mode, depress the indicated yellow button and with-
draw item. When you have finished, discard the towel in the vacuum dispenser, holding
the indicated lever in the "active" position until the green light goes on . . . showing
that the rollers have passed the towel completely into the dispenser. If you desire an
additional towel, press the yellow button and repeat the cycle.
9
If you prefer the "Sonovac" ultrasonic cleaning mode, press the indicated blue button.
When the twin panels open, pull forward by rings A & B. For cleaning the hands, use
in this position. Set the timer to positions 10, 20, 30 or 40 . . . indicative of the number
of seconds required. The knob to the left, just below the blue light, has three settings,
low, medium or high. For normal use, the medium setting is suggested.
10
After these settings have been made, you can activate the device by switching to the
"ON" position the clearly marked red switch. If during the washing operation, you
wish to change the settings, place the "manual off" over-ride switch in the "OFF"
position. You may now make the change and repeat the cycle.
