clean and dry (see figure). Use a dry piece of cloth  
or soap and waterif needed.

  Take plastic bolt cover and peel the brown protective  

film off on both ends. The adhesive part is now visible  
and ready to be placed on the toilet (see figure).

  

   3. 

 Gently place the bolt cover on the toilet area (see picture) and if everything is aligned, push bolt cover 
firmly so it remains in place.

  

   4. 

If not aligned, you can still take it off and put it back so it is aligned.

  

   5. 

Repeat Step 3 for second bolt cover which is to be placed on opposite side of the toilet.

     6. 

 After 24 hours, the bolt cover adhesive has completely set off and if needed, you can remove/replace 
as needed. The dual lock technology is now in place.
