You may have to adjust the length of the chain. It sounds like you are flapper is not opening enough when you push on the lever.

It might be 2 reasons. 1. From the trip lever's bar to the flapper, chain is too long(need to be only one chain link play), 2. the flapper has water saver hole on the side of the flapper. If it's TOTO blue flapper should be no hole on the side, but if it's TOTO red color or Korky brand 3" diameter flapper or American Standard(white and blue), they might have water saver hole on the side of the flapper you must cover it(flapper's open timing will be longer, so you don't have to hold it down). Check those out.(If you got a wrong flapper and you don't want to return it, cover the hole by silicone or plumber's goof or epoxy putty(mix by hand). Usually works in one of them.

I do not have this problem, the product settings so the lever. You can buy without fear, the product is simply fantastic. Regards

I just turn the handle to lower the jack. If you turn the handle and feel it' free, that mean the handle not go down enough to catch the spindle. Put the handle down on the jack and turn either way until it sit then turn the lock bolt firmly by hand. In this position you can turn the handle to close and release the hydraulic, no other button or screw need.

What is the bar ID? Is it compatible with the size of the levers? Like someone else had previously responded, you tighten the levers by removing the rubber cap and using an allen key. If you have tightened this all the way already, then your bars are simply too big for these. If you tighten them and the fit is close but still slightly loose, you could probably rig something since the mechanism is simply an expander shiv; maybe you could wrap something around that to give you a little extra leverage.

My husband had the same problem and he used plumbers tape around the insert to hold it in place until it catches ...hope it helps

two suggestions. 1. Clean the seat of where the flapper sits with a scour pad gently, not the flapper. If any slime or dirt, this may make it have a good seal. OR 2. Your overflow tube may have a crack in it. This will give you a bad day if you are not willing to take the upper tank off and replace the overflow assembly. OR 3. your flapper was mismade and had an air bubble in it.

It does take some muscle to get the lever down. Also, mine has lost suction a couple of times so I did an especially thorough cleaning of the tile and wet the suction cup before sticking it up. So far so good.

do you have the bolt threads turned up? The bracket goes down first the the toilet hinges go on top then the bolts go in to hold all together. you must do this with the toilet seat closed. I hope this helps.

I had to go to the performance warehouse to look at the models to remember which I had, I had the Drake model, called them about it and apparently they bo longer make the flapper for the one I have, I bought it about 10 years ago and this flapper replaces a lot of the old model ones.......you can call them, they are most helpful.

I think it's a screwed up design, I have to get a screwdriver and flip the lever underneath to let the handle down and hope you don't push it all the way back up or you will have to do it again.My vacuum guy is looking at mine to see if anything can be done to fix it.

I really don't know what to tell you. Make sure the end lever is in the up position, pull the left slider back, the forward against the wood edge, and then push the right lever down. That's what I do and it has worked every time. Duncd

I had that same problem at first. It really needs to be sat on when you want it to go down. You literally will have to sit on it, then pull the lever to lower it where you want it. It's a pain.

It may help. However, it sounds like you need to replace or adjust the flapper.

I was trying to figure a way to do that today. The only thing I could come up with was to possibly install a shut off valve on the T that goes to the unit. I don't know if that would affect the toilet too or not. It would be nice if it had a pressure adjuster on it. I just try to not pull the handle all the way up but it is very touchy.

Don't squeeze the lever all the time. Use fan after you mop and when done, sit it in the plastic holding area. If you see that the floor is really wet, you can stop to trigger the handle and just mop the floor. Hope this helps.

I have the elongated model. I think you should call the professional installer. He or she needs to come tighten something before it leaks.

Sounds like either something is blocking the door OR the bolts are not fully open. When this happens with my safe, I re-enter the combination & turn the lever to open. Hopefully you can then close the sale & turn the lever to lock.
