Place the Separating Insert: Position the separating insert on top of the solids container. Ensure it sits securely and correctly to facilitate proper waste separation.
Secure the Lid: Close the main lid of the BOXIO unit. For added stability and to secure stacked units, use the provided BOXIO Clips on the sides.
Optional: Use the TOILET UP Booster Seat: For increased seating comfort and additional storage, place the BOXIO TOILET unit on top of the optional BOXIO TOILET UP booster seat. This raises the toilet height to approximately 14.96 inches and provides space for accessories like the BOXIO SHAKE container and extra hemp litter.

3. Operating Instructions
The BOXIO TOILET Max+ is designed for ease of use and hygienic waste management.
3.1 Usage
Ensure the separating insert is correctly positioned before use.
For liquid waste, aim for the front opening of the separating insert, which directs urine into the sealed canister.
For solid waste, aim for the rear opening, which directs waste into the lined solids container.
After each use, a small amount of hemp litter or similar absorbent material can be added to the solids container to further reduce odors and aid in the composting process.
3.2 Capacity
The urine canister has a 5-liter capacity, typically sufficient for 8-10 toilet visits before requiring emptying. The solids container's capacity depends on usage and the amount of absorbent material added.

- Camping and hiking trips

4. Maintenance and Disposal
Proper maintenance and disposal are crucial for the hygienic and long-term use of your BOXIO TOILET Max+.
4.1 Waste Disposal
Liquid Waste: The urine canister is leak-proof. When full, simply unscrew the lid and pour the liquid into a designated manhole or appropriate disposal facility. The BOXIO PLUG (red conical plug) can be inserted into the urine drain to prevent spills during transport, especially on bumpy roads.
Solid Waste: The bio bags are designed for easy and environmentally friendly disposal. Once the solids container is full, remove the bag, twist it to close, and dispose of it in a regular trash can. The use of hemp litter helps to dry out solid waste and minimize odors.
4.2 Cleaning
The BOXIO TOILET Max+ is designed for easy cleaning without harsh chemicals. The smooth surfaces of the separating insert and containers can be wiped down with a damp cloth and mild soap or a natural cleaning solution.
Regular cleaning of the separating insert and the urine canister is recommended to prevent odor buildup.
Ensure all components are dry before reassembling the toilet for storage or next use.

5. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your BOXIO TOILET Max+.
5.1 Odor Issues
Cause: Insufficient absorbent material, improper waste separation, or infrequent emptying.
Solution: Ensure adequate BOXIO HEMPLITTER is used in the solids container. Verify that liquid and solid wastes are properly separated during use. Empty the urine canister and solids container regularly, especially in warmer climates. Use the BOXIO PLUG for the urine canister during transport to prevent odors from escaping.
5.2 Urine Splashing/Misdirection
Cause: Incorrect seating position or angle during use.
Solution: Adjust seating to ensure proper alignment with the separating insert. For female users, ensure the front part of the separating insert is fully utilized to direct urine into the canister.
5.3 Difficulty Emptying Urine Canister
Cause: Design of the canister opening or handle placement.
Solution: While the design aims for portability, some users find the handle interferes with complete emptying. Tilt the canister carefully to drain as much liquid as possible. Consider rinsing with a small amount of water after emptying to clean residual liquid.
5.4 Toilet Height is Too Low
Cause: Standard unit height may not be comfortable for all users.
Solution: Purchase the optional BOXIO TOILET UP booster seat. This accessory increases the overall height of the toilet, providing a more comfortable seating position.
