TO INSTALL NEW TOILET

Position the new toilet upside down on some padding.
Firmly place the gasket on the toilet outlet.

NOTE: If using a gasket with an integral plastic sleeve,
make sure the gasket is positioned facing away from the
toilet.

Remove the rag from the closet flange before setting the
toilet.

Carefully align and lower the toilet over the closet flange
and bolts.

CAUTION: Risk of concealed leakage. Do not lift
or rock toilet after placement; a new gasket must be
reapplied if you break the watertight seal.

Apply full body weight to the toilet rim to set the seal.

Assemble the bolt cap bases, washers, and nuts onto the
exposed T-bolts. Handtighten the nuts, then tighten them
an additional 1/2-turn with a wrench.

CAUTION: Risk of product damage.
Overtightening may cause breakage or chipping.

If the T-bolts extend more than 1/4” from the top of the nut,
cut off the excess. Wipe away any residue. Install the bolt
caps.

TO INSTALL NEW TANK

Make sure the three tank bolts extend fully through the
holes in the gasket. Set the tank onto the bowl using the
bolts as a guide. Center the gasket on the inlet of the bowl.
Assemble the washers and brass hex nuts onto the bolts.

CAUTION: Risk of product damage.
Overtightening may cause breakage or chipping.

Alternately tighten the three brass hex nuts so that the top
of the tank is level with the top of the bowl, and a watertight
seal is obtained.
