Go to www.sloanvalve.com On the left side you'll find a box titled quick select.
Select your flushometer model and the repair guide will come up in a pdf. Troubleshooting on page 6.

Sloan's website no longer offers decent support. It really depends on the model and type used, but if your referring to a top mount unit you:
A) Remove retaining ring with (ideally) a strap wrench. More frequently a large pair of channel locks will be necessary. It will turn lefty loosey.
B) Remove cap and access flush module.
Depending on how the toilet or urinal is malfunctioning you should try replacing parts in the order of cheapest fix.
