Remove the screw on the outside edge of the locking bar. Loosen the inside screw and slide the locking bar counterclockwise

until it is clear of the plunger arm.

Remove the plunger arm by tilting the end near the locking bar up and pulling toward you.

NOTE: During the next step the toilet will flush if the water is not turned off.

Install the new plunger with plunger arm hook facing in downward direction on top of the trip arm. Place the other end

of plunger arm in the support slot. The clear plastic guard on the plunger arm should rest on the trip arm. If the clear plastic

guard on the plunger arm doesn't rest on the trip arm, bend the trip arm until the two pieces fit together properly. Bend

slightly beyond contact area to allow for spring back.

NOTE: The plunger arm hook and the trip arm should not contact each other while at rest.

Swivel the locking bar into place to hold the plunger arm in position. Do not secure with the screw now.

Check the spacing between the top surface of the actuator and the bottom side of the plunger arm. The spacing should be

1/32" (.8 mm) - 1/16" (2 mm).

If the spacing is not correct, remove the new plunger arm. Remove the setscrew at the top of the actuator with a phillips

screwdriver and adjust the height. Turn clockwise to lower or counterclockwise to raise. If spacing is correct hold the actua-

tor to keep it from turning and tighten the screw. Reinstall the new plunger arm.

Check for proper positioning between the trip arm and plunger arm. Secure with the locking bar screw.

NOTE: Turn the water back on if it is turned off.

Test the installation by slapping the trip lever HARD while watching the connection area where the trip arm and plunger

arm meet. The arm hook should prevent the plunger arm from jumping off the trip arm and disengaging. If arms disengage,

adjust the trip arm again for a better connection.
