General Installation Notes:
- Ensure the toilet's water supply is turned off before beginning installation.
- Remove the old tank lever by unscrewing the nut from the inside of the toilet tank.
- Insert the new lever through the hole in the toilet tank and secure it with the provided hardware.
- Attach the lift chain or rod from the flapper to the lever arm, ensuring proper tension for a complete flush and seal.
- Test the flush mechanism and adjust as necessary.
5. Operating Instructions
The Delta Faucet 77660-BL Stryke Universal Toilet Tank Lever operates by a simple downward press. To flush the toilet:
- Locate the tank lever on the front or side of your toilet tank.
- Gently press the lever downwards. This action lifts the flapper inside the tank, allowing water to flow into the bowl and initiate the flush cycle.
- Release the lever once the flush is complete. The flapper will return to its closed position, and the tank will begin to refill.
Ensure the lever returns to its original position after each flush to prevent continuous water flow and conserve water.
6. Maintenance
Proper care and maintenance will help preserve the finish and functionality of your toilet tank lever.
- Cleaning: Clean the lever regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the matte black finish.
- Inspection: Periodically check the connection of the lift chain/rod to the flapper and the lever arm. Ensure it is securely attached and has appropriate tension.
- Lubrication: No lubrication is typically required for the lever mechanism itself.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your toilet tank lever, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:
- Weak Flush:
- Check the flapper chain: Ensure it is not too loose or too tight. A loose chain may not lift the flapper enough, while a tight chain may prevent it from sealing properly.
- Inspect the flapper: Ensure it is sealing correctly at the bottom of the tank.
- Lever Not Returning to Original Position:
- Check for obstructions: Ensure nothing is impeding the lever's movement inside or outside the tank.
- Verify installation: Re-check the mounting hardware to ensure it is not overtightened or misaligned, which could cause friction.
- Continuous Running Water:
- Adjust the flapper chain: If the chain is too tight, it might be holding the flapper slightly open.
- Inspect the flapper: A worn or damaged flapper may not create a proper seal.
If problems persist, consult the full installation manual or contact Delta Faucet customer support.
