Operation Instructions

Flushing

• Pedal Flush Models (Bravura, STYLE Plus, STYLE II): Press pedal all the way to flush. For adding water, press pedal halfway.

Troubleshooting

1. Leaks

• Back of Toilet: Check water supply line connection at water valve. Retighten or re-secure as necessary. Replace water valve if leak persists.
• Vacuum Breaker Leaks While Flushing: Replace Vacuum Breaker or water module, depending on model.
• Between Closet Flange and Toilet: Ensure flange nuts are tight. If leak continues, remove toilet and check flange height. Adjust with Thetford spacers to 7/16” above floor if necessary. Replace flange seal.

2. Toilet Won’t Hold Water

• Blade/Ball Seal Track: Check for and remove any debris. If blade/ball seal is worn, replace it.

3. Hard Pedal or Hand Lever Operation

Apply a light film of Thetford Toilet Seal Lubricant & Conditioner or silicone spray to blade/ball. Avoid using non-silicone spray lubricants.

4. Poor Flush

Keep pedals or hand levers fully open during flush. A good flush should be obtained within 2 to 3 seconds. If the problem persists, check the water supply line's flow rate, which should be at least ten quarts (9.5 liters) per minute.
