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.
