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.

between shutoff valve and
tank water inlet fitting. Tighten
COUPLING NUT 1/4 turn
