If the removed tank lever is bent, proceed to Step A1 below. If the
lever is not bent then proceed to Step A2 below.
STEP 9: INSTALL LEVER & FLAPPER CHAIN
A1: FOR SIDE OR ANGLE MOUNT:
BEND NEW LEVER ARM
To bend lever, start bend 2” after 90
degree elbow until bend matches the old
lever. Do not bend arm quickly or back
and forth repeatedly.
A2: FOR FRONT MOUNT:
MEASURE LEVER ARM
Measure length of old lever
arm next to new lever arm. If
necessary, trim new arm (with
a hacksaw) at the cut line.
B: INSTALL LEVER
Slide lever through tank hole. Slip
locknut over lever arm (at side of nut
facing handle). Hand-tighten locknut
clockwise (reverse thread).

STEP 10: FINISHING STEPS
A: ATTACH WATER SUPPLY
CONNECTOR TO FILL VALVE
*Hand-tighten only. Do not overtighten.
B: TURN ON WATER
Check for leaks.
C: WATER LEVEL
After the tank stops lling, water level should ll the tank to
roughly ½” below top of overow pipe to ensure a proper ush.

* Overtightening may damage ll valve or coupling nut, potentially causing ooding.
Make sure the oat cup does not touch the tank walls or tank lever and ush valve.
**The top of the overow pipe must be a minimum of 1" below tank lever hole.

STEP 11: FINE-TUNE TANK WATER LEVEL
A: FLUSH THE TOILET TO
CHECK THE TANK WATER
LEVEL
After the water stops lling the
tank, the water level should be
roughly ½ inch below the top
of overow pipe to ensure a
proper ush.
B: WATER LEVEL IS TOO LOW
Turn the tank water level adjustment screw clockwise to
raise the oat. Flush to reset water level.
WATER LEVEL IS TOO HIGH
Turn the water level adjustment screw counterclockwise to
lower the oat. Flush to reset water level.

B: ADJUST FOR MOST EFFICIENT FLUSH
Continue to adjust dial down one setting and ush until toilet
is unable to ush paper properly.
C: FINAL SETTING
Once unable to ush, adjust dial up one for nal setting.
Hint: The higher the number,
the longer the apper stays
open for more water ushed.
Note: Turn o water. Remove apper for easy adjustment (see Step 6).

18
STEP 13: FINE-TUNE BOWL WATER LEVEL
A: FILL BOWL WITH A GALLON OF WATER
Wait 1 minute until the bowl water level recedes
down and stops.
B: MARK THE WATER LEVEL IN THE BOWL
With a pencil, draw a line at the top of the water level
in bowl. (Pencil mark will easily wash o).
C: FLUSH TOILET TO CHECK BOWL
WATER LEVEL
If the water level matches the line you’ve made in
the bowl when the ll valve stops lling the tank,
the water level is correct, proceed to Step 13.
TOO HIGH
TOO LOW
If the water level matches the line in the bowl and the
ll valve is STILL FILLING, then the bowl water is
TOO HIGH, proceed to Step 12D.
If the valve shuts o and the water level does NOT
match the line in the bowl, the water level is TOO
LOW, proceed to Step 12D.
E: FLUSH TOILET,
CHECK BOWL WATER LEVEL
Repeat Steps 12D and 12E until water level in bowl
matches the line when the ll valve shuts o.
D: ADJUST THE BOWL WATER LEVEL
TOO HIGH:
Turn the dial clockwise.
TOO LOW:
Turn the dial counter-clockwise.
