HELP US, HELP YOU
Before you call with questions or concerns there are a few things you can do to help us
serve you better:
Please read this manual. It contains instructions to help you use and maintain your
facility properly.
Save time and money. Review the section titled “Frequently Asked Questions”
before calling. This section was designed to solve common problems you might
encounter.
START-UP PROCEDURES
Vault preparation
Add 80 gallons of water to the vault. By placing a layer of water on the bottom of
the vault, flies will be deterred from using it as a breeding ground. The addition of
water also facilitates easier pumping when cleaning the vault.
Riser installation
Check to make sure the riser is properly installed. Typically, the contractor installing
your facility will make sure the riser and vent pipe are properly installed. If you are
installing them yourself, please call your CXT sales coordinator to request a copy of
installation instructions.

Keys and padlocks
Check for door keys and make sure they work properly. Keys are normally placed
inside the building by the toilet paper dispenser.
Padlocks should be placed on the cleanout cover to seal it. Padlocks may also be put
on toilet paper dispensers. Customers must provide their own padlocks.
Toilet paper
Check to make sure there is sufficient toilet paper in holders and that they are not
jammed. The toilet paper holders should arrive full and ready to use. Check for any
jamming that may have occurred during shipping.
Clean-out hatch
The clean-out hatch is designed so the customer can close the lid securely with a
lock. When locking the lid, it will be necessary for you to stand on the lid
(compressing the seal) to line up the holes provided for a lock.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How do I patch chips in the exterior of the building?
Chips may be filled using a latex grout mix. We recommend Burke-Krete with Latex mix.
Once mixed to compatible consistency, apply with a margin trowel then use the edge of
the trowel to cut in groves of barnwood or straightedge. Finish by re-staining with
appropriate color and sealing with graffiti sealer. The CXT “Touch-up Kit” is ideal for this
purpose and includes paint and sealer.
How do I adjust the spring tension on the doors?
First determine which type of hinges came with your building. Stanley hinges have smooth
barrels. World Class hinges have pins in the barrel.
To adjust the spring tension on Stanley hinges, remove the Phillips screw. Then, using an
Allen wrench tighten the spring by turning towards the arrow on the hinge. To loosen the
hinge, place the wrench in the slot and gently tap with a hammer until tension is released.
DO NOT turn the Allen wrench in the opposite direction of the arrow. When you tap down
on the Allen wrench it will release itself.
To adjust spring tension on World Class hinges, with the door closed, place a 5/32 hex
wrench in the hole on the hinge, turn hex wrench clockwise slightly to loosen roll pin.
Remove roll pin using a pair of needle nose pliers or a small punch. Turn hex wrench 90º
more and line up hole on hinge barrel with hole in tension adjustment pin. Insert the roll
pin all the way into the hole to lock tension adjustment pin in place. DO NOT TURN

ARROW ON TENSION ADJUSTMENT PIN PAST ARROW ON HINGE BARREL OR
WARRANTY WILL BECOME VOID. Load all spring hinges equally. After tension
adjustment pin is locked in place for all spring hinges at maximum tension, test door
closing force. If force is more than required, unwind the tension adjustment pin 90º, one
spring hinge at a time until desired force is reached.
Can the building be moved in the future to a different location?
Yes, if you want the facility moved to a new site simply have the vault pumped and use a
crane to load the vault and building on a truck and move it to the new location.
How do I control the flies?
As mentioned in the start-up procedures, adding water will prevent flies from using the
vault as a breeding ground.
Can the signs be changed or replaced?
Yes, although the signs are designed to resist removal by vandals and may take a while
to remove. See page 5 for more detailed instructions.
FACILITY MAINTENANCE
Touch-up paint
CXT offers a paint “Touch-up Kit” that includes all the products you will need to touch
up interior and exterior chips and includes supplies to effectively remove graffiti.
Patching exterior chips in the concrete
Chips may be filled using a latex grout mix. We recommend Burke-Krete with Latex
mix. Once mixed to compatible consistency, apply with a margin trowel then use the
edge of the trowel to cut in groves of barnwood or straightedge. Once dry, finish by
re-staining and sealing with the appropriate color of stain.
Pumping the vault
The vault is pumped out through an opening in the steel cleanout cover panel
located at the back of the building. Please be sure to reseal the access panel by
securing it with a padlock. A tight seal is necessary for Sweet Smelling Technology
to work properly.
Changing the toilet paper
The number one reason for vandalism of restroom facilities is a lack of toilet paper,
so be sure to refill when needed. Simply place fresh rolls on the turning rod. Most
CXT toilet paper holders are designed to accommodate a padlock to prevent theft.

Repairing cracked or peeled interior paint
If the paint cracks or peels, sand off all the old paint and repaint the area. CXT offers
a paint “Touch-up Kit” that includes all the products you will need to repaint the
interior and exterior of your facility.
Broken coat hangers
If your coat hangers screw in, simply unscrew the broken ones and replace them with
new ones. If they do not screw in, it will be necessary to use nail-in anchors to apply
new coat hangers. See page 7 for information on ordering.
Repairing cracks on the building
Over time concrete will crack. These cracks are not structural and can be sealed with
caulk and painted over. Clean the crack of loose material and lightly rough up the
area around the crack with sand paper. Smooth caulk into the crack. We recommend
using 3M™ Scotch-Seal™, which is available from CXT. Allow caulk to cure for 24
hours then repaint the area.
Removing and replacing exterior signs
The best way to remove the exterior signs is to use a chisel. Take the chisel and cut
the heads of the anchors, then drill or pull out the rest of the anchor. Clean out the
existing holes or make new ones measuring ¼” in diameter. Connect new signs using
¼” concrete sinkers.
Adjusting the spring tension on the doors
First determine which type of hinges came with your building. Stanley hinges have
smooth barrels. World Class hinges have pins in the barrel.
To adjust spring tension on Stanley hinges, remove the Phillips screw. Then, using
an Allen wrench tighten the spring by turning towards the arrow on the hinge. To
loosen the hinge, place the wrench in the slot and gently tap with a hammer until
tension is released. DO NOT turn the Allen wrench in the opposite direction of the
arrow. When you tap down on the Allen wrench, it will release itself.
To adjust spring tension on World Class hinges, with the door closed, place a 5/32
hex wrench in the hole on the hinge, turn hex wrench clockwise slightly to loosen
roll pin. Remove roll pin using a pair of needle nose pliers or a small punch. Turn hex
wrench 90º more and line up hole on hinge barrel with hole in tension adjustment
pin. Insert the roll pin all the way into the hole to lock tension adjustment pin in
place. DO NOT TURN ARROW ON TENSION ADJUSTMENT PIN PAST ARROW ON
HINGE BARREL OR WARRANTY WILL BECOME VOID. Load all spring hinges equally.

After tension adjustment pin is locked in place for all spring hinges at maximum
tension, test door closing force. If force is more than required, unwind the tension
adjustment pin 90º, one spring hinge at a time until desired force is reached.
Adjusting the door sweep
To adjust the door sweep, loosen all visible screws, adjust it to the desired position
then replace the screws.
Adjusting the door
Spring tension controls the door. If you are having trouble with the door opening
and closing, try adjusting the spring tension using the steps listed on page 3.
HANDICAP ACCESSIBILITY
All CXT restroom facilities are designed with handicap accessible features and meet all
current ADA standards. The toilet riser or water closet may seem a little too high or the
door may close a little slowly. These features were placed into your building to meet ADA
standards. Replacing the riser or water closet with one that is lower will not meet ADA
requirements. Also increasing the door tension or choosing inexpensive replacement
signs could move your building out of compliance with the ADA guidelines. Before you
change any part, please check with CXT to ensure your changes will meet ADA
requirements. If you have any accessibility questions regarding your buildings, please
contact us at 1-800-663-5789.
