Opsætning og installation
Før du begynder
- Ensure the toilet water supply is turned off at the wall valve.
- Flush the toilet to empty the tank completely.
Installationstrin

- Attach Chain: Attach the flapper chain to the flush lever. Ensure there is approximately 1/2 inch of slack in the chain when the flapper is closed. Too much slack can prevent a full flush, while too little can cause the flapper to not seal properly.
- Adjust Water Saving Settings (Optional): The Fluidmaster 5403 features an adjustable cone with settings from 0 to 10. A higher number allows more water per flush, while a lower number saves water. Refer to the "Operating Instructions" section for detailed adjustment.

- Genopret vandforsyningen: Turn the water supply back on to fill the tank. Check for any leaks around the flapper or connections.

Adjusting Water Saving Settings
The Fluidmaster 5403 flapper allows you to customize the amount of water used per flush, helping to save water and reduce your water bill.
To adjust the water volume:
- Locate the adjustable cone on the underside of the flapper.
- Rotate the cone to select a setting from 0 to 10. A setting of '0' (or lower numbers) means less water is flushed, while '10' (or higher numbers) means more water is flushed.
- Test the flush after each adjustment to ensure proper performance. If the toilet does not flush properly (e.g., weak flush), increase the setting by one.
Consult the "Flapper Settings" table in the installation section or on the product packaging for recommended settings based on your toilet's brand and model.
Opretholdelse
Regular inspection of your Fluidmaster 5403 flapper can help prevent future issues and ensure continued water efficiency.
- Tjek for lækager: Periodically check for "phantom flushes" (toilet refilling itself without being flushed), which indicates a slow leak. This is often caused by a worn or improperly seated flapper.
- Ren: If mineral deposits build up on the flapper or flush valve seat, gently clean them with a non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals that can damage rubber components.
- Inspect Silicone Seal: The durable silicone seal is designed for long life and chlorine resistance. However, inspect it annually for any signs of wear, cracking, or deterioration. Replace the flapper if significant wear is observed.

Almindelige problemer og løsninger
