5. Gap Clearance
NOTE: 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 the nut counterclockwise to tighten.
Make sure the water supply is on and the water from the supply
line has stopped flowing into the toilet.
Loosen the setscrew on the actuator. Do not fully remove 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.
Retighten the setscrew once the gap is properly adjusted.
IMPORTANT! Loss of gap clearance could cause leakage into the
toilet bowl. The plunger may not seal properly and may cause a
continual flow of water. If the problem is not corrected after
adjusting the actuator, refer to the troubleshooting section in the
Homeowners Guide.
