5. Setup and Installation

Follow these steps to install the Siamp 36955510 flush mechanism:

1. Prepare the Cistern:
   • Turn off the water supply to the toilet.
   • Flush the toilet to empty the cistern.
   • Disconnect the water supply pipe from the old fill valve.
   • Remove the old flush mechanism and fill valve from the cistern. Clean any residue from the cistern base.
2. Install the Fill Valve (Side Inlet):
   • Insert the new fill valve into the side inlet hole of the cistern. Ensure the rubber washer is on the inside of the cistern.
   • Secure the fill valve from the outside with the plastic nut, hand-tightening first, then gently with a wrench to ensure a watertight seal. Do not overtighten.
3. Install the Flush Valve:
   • Place the large sealing gasket onto the base of the flush valve.
   • Insert the flush valve into the large opening at the bottom center of the cistern.
   • From underneath the cistern, secure the flush valve with the large fixing nut. Hand-tighten, then use a wrench for a snug, watertight fit.
4. Connect the Push Button:
   • Place the cistern lid back on the cistern.
   • Insert the push button assembly through the hole in the cistern lid and connect it to the top of the flush valve mechanism according to the manufacturer's design.
   • Adjust the push button rods if necessary to ensure proper engagement with the flush valve.
5. Reconnect Water Supply and Test:
   • Reconnect the water supply pipe to the new fill valve.
   • Slowly turn on the main water supply to the toilet.
   • Check for any leaks around the fill valve and flush valve connections.
   • Allow the cistern to fill, then perform several test flushes to ensure proper operation and water level.

6. Operating Instructions

The Siamp 36955510 flush mechanism features a disengageable push button for flushing:

• Standard Flush: Press the push button down completely and release. The cistern will empty fully.
• Water-Saving Flush (Disengageable Function): Press the push button down. Water will begin to flush. To stop the flush prematurely and save water, press the button again. This allows you to control the amount of water used per flush.

7. Maintenance

Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and efficient operation of your flush mechanism:

• Cleaning: Periodically clean the cistern interior and the flush mechanism components to prevent limescale buildup and debris accumulation. Use a non-abrasive cleaner.
• Check Seals: Inspect the rubber seals and washers annually for signs of wear or deterioration. Replace them if they appear cracked or hardened to prevent leaks.
• Water Level Adjustment: If the water level in the cistern is too high or too low, adjust the float mechanism on the fill valve according to its specific design (usually by turning a screw or sliding a clip).
• Filter Cleaning (if applicable): Some fill valves have a small filter at the water inlet. If water flow is reduced, turn off the water, disconnect the supply, and check/clean this filter.
