Setup and Installation
No tools are required for the installation of this safety set. Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free of dust or residue before applying adhesive components.
1. Toilet Lid Lock Installation
- Prepare the Surface: Clean and thoroughly dry the top surface of the toilet lid and the side of the toilet bowl where the lock will be attached.
- Position the Main Lock Unit: Place the main lock unit (the part with the button) on the center-front of the toilet lid. Ensure it is positioned so the strap can reach the side of the toilet bowl without obstruction.
- Attach the Main Lock Unit: Remove the adhesive backing from the main lock unit. Press firmly onto the toilet lid for at least 30 seconds.
- Attach the Strap Anchor: Extend the strap down the front of the toilet bowl. Position the strap anchor (the small piece at the end of the strap) on the side of the toilet bowl, ensuring the strap is taut but not overly stretched. Mark the position.
- Secure the Strap Anchor: Remove the adhesive backing from the strap anchor. Press firmly onto the marked position on the toilet bowl for at least 30 seconds.
- Allow Adhesive to Cure: For optimal adhesion, wait at least 24 hours before using the lock.

- Attach the Flush Lock: Remove the adhesive backing from the flush lock. Press firmly onto the toilet tank for at least 30 seconds, ensuring it is level and securely attached.
- Allow Adhesive to Cure: For optimal adhesion, wait at least 24 hours before using the lock.

Using the Toilet Flush Lock
- To Lock: Rotate the flush lock arm to cover the toilet flush lever. This prevents the lever from being pressed.
- To Unlock: Rotate the flush lock arm away from the toilet flush lever. This allows access to the lever for flushing.
- OutSmart Decoy Button: The flush lock features a decoy button. Pressing this button will not operate the flush mechanism, redirecting a child's attention from the actual flush lever.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Clean the safety set components with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these may damage the plastic or adhesive.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Lid lock adhesive is not holding. | Surface was not clean or dry; insufficient pressure applied during installation; adhesive has worn out. | Ensure surfaces are thoroughly cleaned and dried before reapplication. Apply firm pressure for at least 30 seconds. If adhesive is worn, the product may need replacement. |
| Flush lock adhesive is not holding. | Surface was not clean or dry; insufficient pressure applied during installation; adhesive has worn out; toilet tank curvature. | Ensure surfaces are thoroughly cleaned and dried before reapplication. Apply firm pressure for at least 30 seconds. If the toilet tank has significant curvature, the flush lock may not adhere properly. Consider alternative safety solutions if this is the case. If adhesive is worn, the product may need replacement. |
| Child can still operate the flush lever. | Flush lock is not correctly positioned or is not in the locked position. | Ensure the flush lock arm fully covers the flush lever when in the locked position. Re-adjust if necessary. |
