TROUBLESHOOTING
Your Microflush toilet is designed to give you years of trouble-free operation. Please check the
following before beginning any service or repair.
Water Supply:
1. Is the water shut-off valve turned to “on” position?
Air System:
1. Is compressed air attached (on rail unit)?
2. Is air compressor turned on, fuse OK (solar unit)?
3. Is regulator set to 60-65 psi?
4. Do you have any air leaks or kinks in the air system?
5. Do you have water in the air system? This will cause irregular timing. Drain
the air reservoir and check filter regulator for water. To check for water in the
Air/Water Sequence Valve, remove bleed off plug, put finger over screw
opening and flush. If water is present, it will squirt from sides of valve body.
If water is detected, then air cylinder and airlines must also be drained.
Cycle Time:
1. Is bleed off plug blocked? Remove, clean and reinstall.
