    Pneumatic toilet flush is difficult to push

    I’ve installed a Geberit concealed toilet cistern. It has a pneumatic dual-flush button. The flush button is very difficult to push, once pushed it does flush but it requires a lot of effort. Is this normal for a pneumatic flush button, can anything be done to make it easier to push?
