How to adjust Tetford 510 toilet

I've replaced my rubber gasket on my Tetford 510P porcelain toilet
only to find it is not tight enough.
The documentation calls to adjust 2 screws for best fit but doesn't explain what the screw mechanism does nor which way to turn the screws any help is appreciated.to tighten.

    I will assume that adjusting the valve screws will tighten the ball clockwise.

    There is a torque spec on the band clamp for the Traveler toilet. It is listed in your owners manual. Something like 65 inch pounds if I remember correctly.

    Don't know about any Tetford 510P

    But on the Sealand Traveler 510P
    There is a band clamp that connects bowl to pedestal
    There are couple screws that secure lower base cover (on top models)
    There are couple screws that attach water valve assembly
    There are a couple of hold down bolts on floor flange

    Righty-tighty/lefty-loosey (unless it a specialty...as in left hand threaded)
