4. Configuração e instalação
Follow these steps to install the TOTO THU458#01 Trip Lever:
- Desligue o abastecimento de água: Locate the water shut-off valve behind or near the toilet and turn it clockwise until the water flow stops. Flush the toilet to empty the tank.
- Remove Old Trip Lever: Open the toilet tank lid. Disconnect the chain from the flapper valve. Unscrew the mounting nut from the inside of the tank that secures the old trip lever. Remove the old trip lever from the toilet tank.
- Insert New Trip Lever: Insert the new TOTO THU458#01 Trip Lever through the hole in the front or side of the toilet tank, ensuring the handle is on the outside and the arm is inside the tank.
- Secure Trip Lever: From inside the tank, thread the mounting nut onto the shaft of the trip lever. Hand-tighten the nut until it is snug. Avoid over-tightening, which can damage the tank or the lever.
- Conecte a corrente da válvula de descarga: Attach the flapper chain to the end of the trip lever arm. Adjust the chain length so there is a small amount of slack (approximately 1/2 inch to 1 inch) when the flapper is closed. Too much slack will result in a weak flush; too little slack will prevent the flapper from sealing properly.
- Restabelecer o abastecimento de água: Turn the water shut-off valve counter-clockwise to restore water flow to the toilet. Allow the tank to fill.
- Teste de descarga: Test the flush mechanism several times to ensure the flapper opens and closes correctly and the toilet flushes efficiently without leaking. Make any necessary adjustments to the chain length.
5. Instruções de operação
To operate the TOTO THU458#01 Trip Lever, simply press down on the handle. This action lifts the flapper valve inside the toilet tank, allowing water to flow into the toilet bowl and initiate a flush. Release the handle once the flush begins. The flapper will then close, and the tank will refill.
6. Manutenção
The TOTO THU458#01 Trip Lever requires minimal maintenance. Periodically inspect the trip lever and chain for signs of wear or corrosion. If the handle becomes stiff or difficult to operate, check for obstructions or excessive friction. Clean the handle with a soft cloth and mild, non-abrasive cleaner as needed. Avoid harsh chemicals that may damage the finish.
