Tronair 10-6408-0000 Electric Lavatory Service Cart – 31-Gallon Waste, 15-Gallon Fill

The Tronair 10-6408-0000 Electric Lavatory Service Cart is designed to safely service aircraft lavatory systems by providing a sanitary method for filling fresh fluid and removing waste. It features separate HD polyethylene tanks, integrated pumps, and dedicated hoses, allowing ground crews to perform lavatory maintenance efficiently while minimizing the risk of contamination. The unit also transports waste to approved disposal locations, ensuring consistent and compliant ground handling operations.

This electric lavatory cart is designed for easy movement around aircraft, featuring a tow bar and pneumatic tires that enhance handling on uneven ramp surfaces. Roller bearings and zerk fittings further support smooth rolling and long-term reliability. With a maximum towing speed of 10 mph, it is practical for busy flight lines while remaining safe for tight-space operations.

The fresh water tank has a 15-gallon capacity, while the waste (dump) tank holds 31 gallons. Both are constructed from non-corroding HD-polyethylene with UV inhibitors for extended service life. The dual-tank system enables crews to manage aircraft lavatory servicing more efficiently, reducing the need for frequent refill or disposal trips.

The lavatory cart’s electric fill pump provides a steady 4.5 gpm output for replenishing aircraft lavatory systems. A three-way ball valve allows operators to alternate between flushing the aircraft toilet and draining fluid from the hose before disconnecting, helping prevent spills and simplifying cleanup.

No. The Tronair 10-6408-0000 Electric Lavatory Service Cart does not include a pressure gauge. The unit instead relies on its integrated 4.5 gpm electric fill pump to deliver consistent flow for lavatory servicing. Operators monitor servicing progress visually and through standard operational procedures, rather than relying on gauge readings.

No. The Tronair 10-6408-0000 does not include a fluid quantity counter. However, other Tronair lavatory service carts and configurations are available with metering or quantity-tracking options. Operators needing fluid volume measurement can contact PJi for assistance in selecting a model with the appropriate monitoring features.

Waste removal is powered by a manual diaphragm pump rated at 30 gpm, permanently connected to the dump tank for reliability and leak prevention. Operators attach the dump hose to the aircraft's drain coupling, pump out the sewage, and subsequently dispose of the waste at an approved dump station. The pump is serviceable using the components detailed in the unit’s illustrated parts list.

Yes. Tronair offers multiple factory-installed options and field-installed kits for aircraft with unique lavatory service interfaces. These include specialized dump flanges, Shorts SD 330/360-specific connectors, Wye couplings, fill connectors, and cap kits. Choosing the correct adapter ensures leak-free, aircraft-safe servicing.

Routine maintenance includes greasing wheel bearings and the front caster swivel plate at least every six months, checking hose connections for leaks, tightening clamps, and cleaning tanks and hoses with mild detergent following local regulations. Regular inspections help ensure dependable operation, especially for high-use fleet environments.

Operators should be trained and familiar with the manual before using the unit, as it involves handling waste fluids, electrical components, and battery systems. Safety warnings address risks such as battery-generated explosive gas, electrical shock, and exposure to contamination. Tronair emphasizes strict adherence to all WARNINGS and CAUTION notes throughout the manual to avoid injury or equipment damage.

The unit utilizes a 12-volt battery housed within a protective battery box. Operators should periodically inspect cable tightness, verify battery condition via the sight glass (which should display a green indicator), and charge or replace the battery as necessary. Proper handling is essential due to the production of hydrogen gas during charging and the battery’s lead-based construction.

Before storage, operators must drain the waste tank completely, disconnect the battery, cap all hoses, and store the cart in a clean, dry location. After extended storage, the tanks should be washed according to maintenance procedures prior to returning the cart to service. These steps help preserve sanitation and prevent system degradation.
