Setup and Installation
Before installation, ensure you have all necessary components and tools. The Aqua-Magic VI is designed for floor-mounted installation. Refer to the included diagram for proper placement of mounting bolts and water supply connections.
Installation Steps:
- Position the toilet over the floor flange, aligning the mounting bolt slots.
- Secure the toilet using the provided mounting bolts. Do not overtighten to prevent damage to the base.
- Connect the water supply line to the toilet's water valve. Ensure a watertight seal.
- Verify proper function by flushing and checking for leaks.

Operating Instructions
The Aqua-Magic VI features a simple foot pedal operation for flushing and adding water to the bowl.

- Flushing: Press the foot pedal all the way down to flush the toilet. This will open the valve and allow waste to pass into the holding tank.
- Water Conservation: For optimal water conservation, use only the necessary amount of water for flushing.
