2. INSTALLATION OF MOUNTING ASSEMBLY
PLEASE READ COMPLETELY BEFORE STARTING
NOTE:
Pay close attention to the order of mount assembly parts, as they have been correctly
assembled by the factory (see 3A).
Also, reference the cushion mount detail in illustration 3G for the proper position of the
cushion mount.
NOTE:
Try practicing this assembly before you get under the sink to get the “feel” of how the
parts fit together.
A. Disassemble mount assembly from disposer by turning mount ring to the left (clockwise) and
remove.
B. Raise mount ring toward top of sink flange. Remove cushion mount. Remove mount ring.
You may want to practice installing the cushion mount at this point before you are under the sink. See
paragraph H. Also see
the “Important Notice: Cushion Mount Detail.”
C. Unscrew support ring from sink flange and remove fiber gasket. You are now left with sink flange
and rubber gasket.
D. The rubber gasket is used instead of plumbers putty with stainless steel sinks. Other sinks may
require putty.
E. If no putty is used, insert sink flange through rubber gasket into sink opening. Do not rotate sink
flange once it is seated.
F. If you use putty instead of the gasket, form a ring around underside of sink flange (see 3D). Insert
flange into sink opening, press down hard to squeeze out excess putty. From under sink;
trim off excess putty flush with bottom edge of sink opening.
G. From underneath sink, slip fiber gasket onto exposed sink flange. With arrows pointing up, screw
support ring onto the sink flange, hand tighten until the sink flange will not move. At this point you may
want to insert stopper in sink and fill with water to check sink flange seal and ensure there are no
leaks.
H. Place mount ring over sink flange and hold in place while installing cushion mount (large side
down) so the groove on the inside of cushion mount fits over lip on sink flange, similar to putting the lid
on a plastic container (see 3E, 3F & 3G). Please read important notice below.
The disposer must be installed so that the reset button is readily accessible.
