Troubleshooting
Lever feels stiff or difficult to operate
Check that the lever arm is correctly aligned with the flushing mechanism inside the cistern and not obstructed. Ensure the securing nut on the outside is not overtightened.
Flush is not fully engaging or releasing
Verify the connection between the lever arm and the flush valve is secure and at the correct length. Adjust the chain or rod if necessary.
Water continues to trickle into the bowl after flushing
This issue is typically related to the flush valve or diaphragm within the cistern, not the lever itself. Consult a plumber or check your cistern's internal flushing mechanism.
Lever is loose or wobbly
Tighten the securing nut on the outside of the cistern. Ensure the washer or seal is correctly positioned to create a tight fit.
