Clearing Blockage in Toilet Base

1. Turn off water to the toilet.

2. Open the flush ball in Service Mode.

3.Pull the foreign material from the 1-inch diameter orifice at the bottom of the base or, using a small diameter blunt rod, attempt to push the blockage through the orifice.

Locating Potential Vacuum Leaks in Toilet Base

The VacuFlush toilet is part of a vacuum system that includes a vacuum pump and vacuum tank, or a vacuum generator and discharge plumbing lines. If a vacuum leak is suspected, special equipment will isolate the source of the leak. If the toilet is determined to be the source of the leak, there are three possible areas to investigate:

1.Flush ball and flush ball seal. See Problem 12 in Troubleshooting Guide.

2.O-rings on the rotor shaft.

3.O-rings around bottom of toilet base assembly.

Sources 1 and 2 will require the base assembly to be removed from the toilet and partially disassembled.
