User manual FLUSHMATE 504

[. . . ] NEVER use lubricants on any of the components unless otherwise noted in this manual. NEVER use corrosive disinfectants, bowl cleaners or deoderant blocks on FLUSHMATE products. INSTALLATION ____________________________________________________________________________________ The Sloan FLUSHMATE ® Flushometer -Tank System Fixture installs in the same manner as other water closets. Please follow the instructions provided by the fixture manufacturer. [. . . ] If OK, then check the Flush System by removing the tank Cover and tripping the Actuator. While the unit is flushing, gently raise the Actuator. Water should flow freely and wash away any debris in the supply line and Vessel. Check the Air Inducer for sufficient air draw. The Air Inducer is designed to draw air during the refill cycle. 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. If not, it will need to be cleaned and tested again. FIGURE 3 Air Inducer Cap 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. (Hand-tighten ONLY. ) c) Turn on water supply. 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. Check the Flush Valve Cartridge for leaks. 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. Remove the supply line connection to the shank. Remove any obstruction in the supply shank screen. If necessary, you can use a small brush to gently brush the screen. 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. [. . . ] Bowl Procedure: After flushing out the Vessel, remove the remaining water from the bowl or add from 1 pint to 1 quart of antifreeze or RV antifreeze to the water remaining in the bowl. NOTE: Refer to fixture manufacturer's instructions for procedures to winterize bowl. POINTS TO REMEMBER _____________________________________________________________________________ Safety Notice · When servicing any component, the water supply should be turned OFF and the Actuator tripped to relieve the pressure in the Vessel. · The Flush Valve Cartridge Assembly can be removed by inserting the handles of a pair of pliers into the top of the Cartridge and turning counter-clockwise. · NEVER use any corrosive disinfectants, bowl cleaners or deoderant blocks on FLUSHMATE ® products or in the china tank.
