PRESSURE LITE SYSTEM

WARNING: Risk of injury or water damage.

Contents of reservoir under pressure can cause severe injury. Do not open or service before reading the installation instructions or service instructions. Turn off the water supply, and flush the unit to release pressure before attempting any service.

CAUTION: Risk of product damage. Do not use any oils or lubricants on the Pressure Lite system.

OPERATION

The vitreous china bowl directs the flushing water flow and houses the Pressure Lite system.

The reservoir contains the complete operating cartridge assembly and is the container for the pressurized 1.6 gallons of water used for each flush.

The control components consist of the screen adapter, backflow preventer, pressure regulator, and aspirator. These components work with the incoming pressurized supply line water to provide a regulated pressure flush to the toilet bowl.

A complete flush cycle is two separate functions.

When the trip lever is operated, the reservoir piston assembly is lifted. This allows pressurized water to be directed to the siphon jet bowl for complete flushing action. As the water level in the reservoir drops the piston will close, stopping water flow to the bowl.

After flushing, a charge cycle takes place. Supply line water flows into the reservoir through the screen adapter, backflow preventer and pressure regulator. The water then flows across the aspirator, which mixes a small amount of air with the water. This fills the reservoir until a pressure of approximately 20 p.s.i. is reached. The toilet will be ready for the next flush within 60 to 90 seconds. If the toilet is not ready for the next flush within that time, refer to the troubleshooting chart.
