Adjust water level as follows: A. Fill bowl with gallon of water & wait for it to recede and stop. B. Mark water level with pencil and flush toilet. If the water refills above line, water level is too high, if water stops filling below pencil line, water is too low. C. Adjust water by pushing down and rolling the dial with thumb on roller clamp. "0" means no refill. Roller Clamp & Hose Clamps IF FILL VALVE DOES NOT TURN ON, WILL NOT TURN OFF, OR WILL NOT REFILL THE TANK AFTER THE FLUSH · Remove top cap and check for debris. If you find debris, or flow is weak: Inspect lower section of fill valve for partial blockage. Partial blockage may be at shut off valve or in water supply line (See "REMOVING VALVE CAP & FLUSHING OUT DEBRIS"). · If fill valve has been in use for some time and/or float cup does not drop when flushing tank, replace seal with a genuine Fluidmaster 242 seal (See "IF REPLACING SEAL"). IF FILL VALVE TURNS ON AND OFF BY ITSELF, OR IS RUNNING WHEN NO FLUSH HAS TAKEN PLACE · This indicates the tank is losing water. The fill valve is refilling lost water. Clean flapper and drain seat. If leak continues change flush valve. Install Fluidmaster 507AKR or 555C kit. · Please ensure all steps were followed in "Step 7". Ensure the flapper is clipped in to fall evenly on flush valve seat. · Flush valve locknut may not be tight enough. Check locknut and use tools to ensure locknut is tightened 1/2 turn past hand tight. IF WATER LEVEL IN BOWL IS TOO LOW · Make sure the refill tube is supplying water down overflow pipe. · Water level in tank may be too low. Raise water level to 1/2" below top of overflow pipe (See "Step 9"). You may have to lengthen the fill valve in order to increase the water level in tank (See "Step 5"). · Flapper may be closing too soon. Give flapper chain approximately 1/2" of slack (See "Step 7"). LEAKING AT BOLTS AND/OR ON BASE OF TOILET · Bolts are likely not tight enough or a step was missed in "See Step 4". Please ensure all steps were followed. Tighten bolts further until tank does not rock and leak stops. LEAK OCCURS WHEN TOILET IS FLUSHED · This usually means that tank to bowl gasket is not centered and seated properly. Please ensure all steps were followed in "Step 3". Confirm the flush valve locknut is tightened. Tank to bowl gasket needs to fully cover locknut. · NOTE: If you have a Gerber or Kohler two piece toilet, it is recommended you use a different tank to bowl gasket. Gerber: Use an extra thick Gerber gasket. Kohler: Use a triangular Kohler gasket. (Both Gerber and Kohler gaskets not included). Removing Valve Cap, Flushing Out Debris, Replacing Seal, & Replacing Valve Cap Removing Valve Cap Assembly Turn off water supply & flush out tank. Push float up with right hand (see picture). Grip and hold shaft under float with right hand. With left hand, twist cap and lever counter clockwise 1/8th of a turn to unlock the top cap. Pressing down on top may be helpful with older valves. Let cap assembly hang on float cup. 242 SEAL Flushing Out Debris Hold cup upside down over uncapped valve to prevent splashing. Turn water supply on and off a few times.
