IMPORTANT INFORMATION

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: Risk of injury or water damage. Contents of

vessel under pressure can cause severe injury. Do not open or

service before reading service instructions. Turn off water

supply and ﬂush the unit to release pressure before

attempting any service.

WARNING: Risk of injury or product damage. Handle

vitreous china products very carefully. Vitreous china can

break and chip if you overtighten bolts and nuts.

CAUTION: Risk of product damage. Do not use any oils or

lubricants on the system.

CAUTION: Risk of product damage. The ﬁttings in this

toilet require no adjustment (except for possible gap clearance

adjustment and winterizing). The ﬁttings in this toilet are

preset. Any adjustment or modiﬁcations of the product are

not normal usage and void the warranty.

NOTICE: For service and warranty on the Sloan Flushmate® vessel

and related components, see the Sloan Flushmate Owner’s Service

Manual.

Follow all local plumbing codes.

Theory of Operation

NOTE: Your toilet may appear different than the one pictured.

The vitreous china bowl and tank direct the ﬂushing water ﬂow, and

house the Pressure Lite system.

The vessel contains the complete operating cartridge assembly, and is

the container for the pressurized 1.0 gallons (3.8 L) of water used for

each ﬂush.

The control components consist of the pressure regulator and the air

inducer. These components work with the incoming, pressurized,

supply-line water to provide a regulated pressure ﬂush to the toilet

bowl.

A complete ﬂush cycle is two separate functions.

When the trip lever is operated, the vessel plunger assembly is

pressed, allowing pressurized water to be directed to the bowl for

complete ﬂushing action. As the water level in the vessel drops the

plunger will close, stopping water ﬂow to the bowl.

A checkpoint built into the vessel assembly allows any discharge of

water into the vitreous china tank to drain directly into the bowl.

Theory of Operation (cont.)

After ﬂushing, a charge cycle takes place. Supply line water ﬂows into

the vessel through the screen and pressure regulator. The water then

ﬂows across the air inducer, which mixes a small amount of air with

the water, ﬁlling the vessel until a pressure of approximately 35 psi

(2.5 Kg/cm squared) is reached. The toilet will be ready for the next

ﬂush within 60 to 90 seconds. If the toilet is not ready for the next

ﬂush within that time, please refer to the Troubleshooting section.

1086530-5-B 4 Kohler Co.

Gap Clearance

If the toilet does not activate, the gap between the actuator and

the plunger arm may need to be reset. Make sure the trip lever

handle is installed, and the trip lever nut is tight. This is a

left-hand thread; turn counterclockwise to tighten.

Make sure the water supply is on, and the supply line water has

stopped ﬂowing into the toilet.

Loosen the setscrew. Turn the actuator until there is a 1/16″

(2 mm) - 1/8″(3 mm) gap between the actuator and the plunger

arm. Turn the actuator clockwise to increase the gap.

Tighten the setscrew after the gap is properly adjusted.

NOTE: Loss of gap clearance adjustment could cause leakage into

the toilet bowl due to the plunger not sealing properly. This

condition could cause a continual ﬂow of water. If the problem is

not corrected after adjustment, refer to the Troubleshooting section.

Winterizing Your Toilet

Turn off the water.

Drain the tank by ﬂushing. Press the actuator down for

approximately one minute to drain the water from the vessel

assembly.

Disconnect the water supply line to the toilet.

Remove the supply shank, and drain the water from the tank.

Press the actuator one more time, then pull the actuator up to

allow air into the vessel.

Add antifreeze to the toilet bowl water to prevent freezing. Use

recreational-type antifreeze commonly used in campers, motor

homes, and boats.

To restart the toilet, ﬁrst reconnect the water supply line to the

toilet. Then turn on the water supply, and let the system

pressurize for at least one minute.

Check for leaks, and retighten any leaking connections.
