Vacuum breaker leaks while fl ushing: replace Vacuum Breaker or water module, depending on the model.C. Between closet flange and toilet: check flange nuts for tightness. If the leak continues, remove the toilet and check fl range height. Use Thetford spacers to adjust, if necessary, to  7/16” above floor. Replace fl range seal.
2. Toilet won’t hold water:A. Check for and remove any debris from the blade/ball seal track.B. Check blade/ball seal compression with the mechanism. If the blade/ball seal is worn, replace it.
3. Harder than normal pedal or hand lever operation: Apply a light film of Thetford Toilet Seal Lubricant & Conditioner or silicone spray to blade/ball. (Note: To avoid damage do not use spray lubricants other than silicone.)
4. Poor flush: Pedals or hand levers must be held fully open during flush. A good flush should be obtained within 2 to 3 seconds. If the problem persists, remove the water supply line and check the flow rate.The flow rate should be at least ten quarts (9.5 liters) per minute.
