6. Manutenção

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficient operation of your Sloan Regal 186 Flushometer.

6.1 Limpeza

Clean the exterior chrome finish regularly with a soft cloth and mild, non-abrasive cleaner to maintain its luster. Avoid harsh chemicals that can damage the finish.

6.2 Water Flow Adjustment

The control stop plug allows for adjustment of the water flow. If the flush is too weak or too strong, you can adjust this plug using a screwdriver. Turn clockwise to decrease flow, counter-clockwise to increase flow. Always make small adjustments and test the flush after each change.

6.3 Internal Component Check

Periodically inspect the internal components, such as the diaphragm, for wear or debris. If the valve becomes 'gummed up' with sand or other particles, it may cause continuous flushing or prevent proper operation. In such cases, the control stop plug can be used to shut off water, allowing for disassembly and cleaning of the internal parts. Refer to the manufacturer's detailed service manual for specific disassembly and reassembly instructions.
