What is the length of the handle?

The handle is 95mm in length, providing a comfortable grip for flushing.

How do I clean the chrome finish?

Clean the chrome-plated lever with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners to maintain the finish.

Troubleshooting

Lever is stiff or difficult to operate

Check that the plastic arm is not obstructed by the cistern or other components. Ensure the backnut is not overtightened, which can impede movement.

Cistern does not flush properly after installation

Verify that the plastic arm is correctly attached to the syphon mechanism. Ensure the lever is properly seated and not binding against the cistern wall.

Water leaks from the cistern connection

Ensure the backnut is tightened securely, but not excessively. Check that any rubber seals or washers on the original mechanism were properly transferred or are not damaged.
