IMPORTANT:
· All plumbing must be installed in accordance with applicable codes and regulations.
· The use of water hammer arrestors is strongly recommended for commercial applications. All piping behind the walls should be properly secured and fastened.
· Water supply lines must be sized to provide an adequate volume of water for each fixture.
· Flush all water lines prior to operation (See Step 5). Dirt and debris can cause flush valve to run continuously.
· With the exception of Supply Stop Inlet, DO NOT use pipe sealant or plumbing grease on any valve component or coupling!
· Protect the chrome or special finish on the Flushometer. DO NOT USE toothed tools on finished surfaces to install or service these valves. Also see “Care and Cleaning” section of this manual.
· This product contains mechanical and/or electrical components that are subject to normal wear. These components should be checked on a regular basis and replaced as needed to maintain the valve’s performance.

6 Adjust Supply Stop Fig. 9
IMPORTANT:
To avoid overflowing, the SUPPLY STOP (3) must never be opened to the point where the flow from the valve exceeds the flow capacity of the fixture. The fixture and drain must be able to handle a continuous flow in case of a flush valve failure. Valve is designed to provide stated flush volume with a 10 GPM flow rate.
1. Remove the stop valve cap (2) from SUPPLY STOP (3).Turn on water supply 1/4 turn to 1/2 turn(CCW) and test for leaks. Note: Unit may flush for approximately 5 to 10 sec. when water is first turned on.
2. Actuate the FLUSH VALVE by pulling handle down.
3. Adjust SUPPLY STOP (3) after each flush until the stated flush volume is achieved, no splashing occurs and the fixture is properly cleansed.
4. When adjustment is complete, replace COVER (2) and tighten to ensure vandal-resistance.
