CONNECT WATER SUPPLY

a. Connect water supply line be-

tween shutoff valve and tank water

inlet fitting. Tighten coupling nuts

securely. 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.

CARE AND CLEANING

When cleaning your toilet, wash it with mild, soapy water, rinse thoroughly with clear water and dry with a soft cloth.

NEVER use abrasive scouring powders or abrasive pads on your toilet seat. Some bathroom chemicals and cosmetics

may damage the seat's finish.

WARNING: Do not use in-tank cleaners. Products containing chlorine (calcium hypochlorite) can seriously damage fittings

in the tank. This damage can cause leakage and property damage.

WATERWORKS shall not be responsible or liable for any tank fitting damage caused by the use of

cleaners containing chlorine (calcium hypochlorite).

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.
