You cannot use a cheater, studdor or mechanical vent or an AAV on any Saniflo product. As they are considered one way vents, they only allow air to flow one way. Saniflo pumps must have an 1 1/2" vent pipe vented to the open air, air must flow in and out of the vent pipe at all times, otherwise the pump will short cycle and the solids will not leave the toilet. You will have to flush it several times to get rid of the waste and eventually the motor will go bad. Make sure is vented properly.
