IF FILL VALVE SHUTS OFF BUT CONTINUES TO
LEAK SLOWLY, repeat Step 12.
IF FILL VALVE TURNS OFF AND ON DURING
PERIODS OF NON-USE, it is a signal you are wasting
water because:
• The end of the refill tube is inserted into overflow pipe,
below
water level in tank. Attach refill tube to overflow pipe
using "S"
clip provided.
• The flush valve is leaking because it's worn, dirty or
misaligned
with tank ball or flapper (replace with a new flapper).
IF FILL VALVE WON'T TURN ON OR SHUT OFF or
REFILL OF TANK WATER IS SLOW after valve has
been in use for some time, Fluidmaster Model 242
Replacement Seal may be needed.
