Before You Start

If Removing An Existing Toilet

BACK-TO-BACK INSTALLATION

Depending upon your plumbing and venting conditions, the flow from the toilet in a back-to-back installation may create a vacuum on the system and draw water from the opposing bowl. The National Standards Plumbing Code prohibits the use of a cross fitting for drainage as throw over is possible. The code does approve a directional “Y” style fitting with proper venting to direct the water downward and away from the other toilet.

NOTE: 1/4″ EZ-BOLTS INCLUDED.
IF 5/16″ BOLTS ARE REQUIRED, PURCHASE SEPARATELY.

Press firmly.

Apply weight evenly. Do not move after placement. Water tight seal may break.

Tighten handles alternately until the tank contacts the front and back of the bowl achieving china-to-china contact.
NOTE: To ease installation, push down on the top of the tank while tightening handles.

WARNING: Overtightening of water supply line nuts could result in breakage and potential flooding. If the connection leaks after hand tightening, replace the supply line. Do not use any type of sealant on the water supply connection. Use of plumber’s putty, pipe dope, or any other type of sealant will void the warranty.

SINGLE FLUSH

Adjust water level to level indicated on tank by turning water level adjustment knob to move float cup up or down.

DUAL FLUSH

ADJUSTMENTS

1. Adjust water level. Water level should be adjusted to level indicated on tank by adjusting float cup using water level adjustment knob.
2. Flush Valve Setting Adjustments:

NOTE: All other settings will result in either more or less water and are not recommended.

• To remove Flush Valve, apply slight downward pressure and twist it until the flush valve disengages from the bayonet.
• To reinstall Flush Valve, reverse the above procedure.

FLUSH BUTTONS ON TANK
Pressing both buttons at once will flush the low flush amount of 1.0 gal/flush or 3.8 L/flush. The Lite Flush Button (with 3 dots) should line up over the blue actuator on the flush tower in the tank. The Full Flush Button (with 9 dots) should line up over the white actuator on the flush tower in the tank.

TIPS:
If the bowl still does not flush properly after following the steps outlined in the troubleshooting guide, remove the tank lid and push one of the flush buttons on top of the flush valve in the tank. If the flush appears to be normal, you will need to adjust the length of the threaded rods for the push buttons mounted on the tank lid with the settings as follows:

1. Turn the lid upside down.
2. Loosen the black plastic lock nut.
3. Adjust the white threaded rod one turn counterclockwise.
4. Re-tighten the black plastic lock nut.
5. Put lid back on tank and test the flush. If it is still not flushing properly, repeat steps 1 through 4 until the problem is resolved.
6. If one counterclockwise turn is too much and causes the flush valve to stay open, adjust 1/2 turn clockwise and return to step 4.
