IMPORTANT INFORMATION
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: Risk of injury or water damage. Contents of
vessel under pressure can cause severe injury. Do not open or
service before reading service instructions. Turn off water
supply and flush the unit to release pressure before
attempting any service.
WARNING: Risk of injury or product damage. Handle
vitreous china products very carefully. Vitreous china can
break and chip if you overtighten bolts and nuts.
CAUTION: Risk of product damage. Do not use any oils or
lubricants on the system.
CAUTION: Risk of product damage. The fittings in this
toilet require no adjustment (except for possible gap clearance
adjustment and winterizing). The fittings in this toilet are
preset. Any adjustment or modifications of the product are
not normal usage and void the warranty.
NOTICE: For service and warranty on the Sloan Flushmate® vessel
and related components, see the Sloan Flushmate Owner’s Service
Manual.
Follow all local plumbing codes.

Theory of Operation
NOTE: Your toilet may appear different than the one pictured.
The vitreous china bowl and tank direct the flushing water flow, and
house the Pressure Lite system.
The vessel contains the complete operating cartridge assembly, and is
the container for the pressurized 1.0 gallons (3.8 L) of water used for
each flush.
The control components consist of the pressure regulator and the air
inducer. These components work with the incoming, pressurized,
supply-line water to provide a regulated pressure flush to the toilet
bowl.
A complete flush cycle is two separate functions.
When the trip lever is operated, the vessel plunger assembly is
pressed, allowing pressurized water to be directed to the bowl for
complete flushing action. As the water level in the vessel drops the
plunger will close, stopping water flow to the bowl.
A checkpoint built into the vessel assembly allows any discharge of
water into the vitreous china tank to drain directly into the bowl.

Theory of Operation (cont.)
After flushing, a charge cycle takes place. Supply line water flows into
the vessel through the screen and pressure regulator. The water then
flows across the air inducer, which mixes a small amount of air with
the water, filling the vessel until a pressure of approximately 35 psi
(2.5 Kg/cm squared) is reached. The toilet will be ready for the next
flush within 60 to 90 seconds. If the toilet is not ready for the next
flush within that time, please refer to the Troubleshooting section.

Gap Clearance
If the toilet does not activate, the gap between the actuator and
the plunger arm may need to be reset. Make sure the trip lever
handle is installed, and the trip lever nut is tight. This is a
left-hand thread; turn counterclockwise to tighten.
Make sure the water supply is on, and the supply line water has
stopped flowing into the toilet.
Loosen the setscrew. Turn the actuator until there is a 1/16″
(2 mm) - 1/8″(3 mm) gap between the actuator and the plunger
arm. Turn the actuator clockwise to increase the gap.
Tighten the setscrew after the gap is properly adjusted.
NOTE: Loss of gap clearance adjustment could cause leakage into
the toilet bowl due to the plunger not sealing properly. This
condition could cause a continual flow of water. If the problem is
not corrected after adjustment, refer to the Troubleshooting section.

Winterizing Your Toilet
Turn off the water.
Drain the tank by flushing. Press the actuator down for
approximately one minute to drain the water from the vessel
assembly.
Disconnect the water supply line to the toilet.
Remove the supply shank, and drain the water from the tank.
Press the actuator one more time, then pull the actuator up to
allow air into the vessel.
Add antifreeze to the toilet bowl water to prevent freezing. Use
recreational-type antifreeze commonly used in campers, motor
homes, and boats.
To restart the toilet, first reconnect the water supply line to the
toilet. Then turn on the water supply, and let the system
pressurize for at least one minute.
Check for leaks, and retighten any leaking connections.
