[. . . ] NEVER use corrosive chemicals or household cleaners on FLUSHMATE products. INSTALLATION _______________________________________________________________________________ The Sloan FLUSHMATE ® Flushometer -Tank System Fixture installs in the same manner as other water closets. Using the gasket, washer and nuts provided with the fixture, assemble the tank to the bowl. Before connecting the supply to the tank, be sure the supply line is flushed clean. Do this by running water from the supply stop into a bucket until water flows clear. [. . . ] If the Tank continues to run-on, push down lightly on the Flush Valve Actuator. If the water stops running, it is an indication that the Flush Valve Cartridge requires tightening (clockwise). If water still runs on while pushing down on the actuator, the Flush Valve Cartridge requires loosening (counter-clockwise). NOTE: Adjust the Flush Valve Cartridge Assembly in quarter to half turn increments until the water stops running. If replacement of the Flush Valve Cartridge is necessary, follow the instructions in Step 5. If OK, then check the Flush System by removing the tank Cover and tripping the Actuator. Water should flow freely and wash away any debris in the supply line and Vessel. To test the Air Inducer, place a small amount of water (2 to 3 drops) in the orifice of the Air Inducer cap and flush the toilet. If the Air Inducer is functioning properly the water will be drawn in. TO CLEAN AIR INDUCER: (Figures 3 & 4) a) Turn off the water supply and trip the Actuator. b) Unscrew the Air Inducer Cap, clean thoroughly and remove any obstructions. Wait for the Vessel to refill (30 to 60 seconds. ) Repeat Step 2 above. If the Air Inducer does not function properly, replace the Upper Supply Assembly. Turn the water supply off and drain the vessel by tripping the Actuator and holding it down until completely drained. Next, pour a cup of water onto the Cartridge Housing area as shown in Figure 5. If a leak is detected (a steady flow of bubbles from the center of the Cartridge Area), the Cartridge should be replaced. Turn the water off and relieve the Vessel pressure by flushing the toilet. Reattach the supply line to the supply shank and observe connections to assure no leakage. IMPORTANT: If you are still experiencing a weak or sluggish flush after this point, it is recommended you replace the entire Lower Supply group. proper drain ventilation Consult a professional for recommendations if any of these conditions exist. If the drain and drain vent are clear, and the flush has not been improved, replace the Lower Supply Assembly.
