CONNECT WATER SUPPLY

a. Connect water supply line between

shutoff valve and tank water inlet

fitting. T

ighten 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.

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 bead chain from the retainment clip (see Fig. 10A)

and take up slack on the chain, and reinsert on lift rod. Make sure the

chain is not too taught.
