ADJUSTMENTS

a. Flush tank and check that
tank fills and shuts off within
30 to 60 seconds, and tank
water level is set as
specified on tank rear wall.
b. To adjust water level:

turn water level adjustment
screw counterclockwise to
raise level; turn adjustment
screw clockwise to lower level.

c. To adjust flow rate (tank fill time):

turn flow rate adjustment screw
clockwise to decrease flow rate (increase fill time); turn adjustment screw
counterclockwise to increase flow rate (decrease fill time).

d. Carefully position tank cover on tank.
e. The flush valve float has been factory set and does not require adjustments.

Repositioning of the float will change the amount of water used which may
effect the toilet's performance.

f. If bowl fails to siphon, an adjustment may be required with the lift chain. Simply

remove the chain from the retainment clip (see Fig. 10) and take up slack on
the chain, and reinsert on lift rod. Make sure the chain is not too taught.

a. Connect water supply line
between shutoff valve and
tank water inlet fitting. Tighten
COUPLING NUT 1/4 turn
beyond hand tight. Check
that refill tube is inserted into
overflow tube.

b. Turn on supply valve and
allow tank to fill until float
rises to shutoff position.

c. Check for leakage at fittings,
tighten or correct as needed.

d. Do not use plumber's putty to
seal these fittings.
