INSTALLATION OF MOUNTING ASSEMBLY
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 2A). Also reference
the cushion mount detail in illustration 2D for the
proper position of the cushion mount (see page 8).
1.
Disassemble mount assembly from disposer by turning mount
ring to the left (counter-clockwise) and remove.
2.
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 8.
3.
Unscrew support ring from sink flange and remove fiber gasket.
You are now left with sink flange and rubber gasket.
4.
The rubber gasket is used instead of plumbers putty with
stainless steel sinks. Other sinks will require putty.
5.
If no putty is used, insert sink flange through rubber gasket into
sink opening. Do not rotate sink flange once it is seated.
6.
If you use putty instead of the gasket, form a ring around
underside of sink flange (see 2C). Insert flange into sink opening,
press down hard to squeeze out excess putty (see 2B). From
under sink, trim off excess putty flush with bottom edge of sink
opening.
7.
From underneath sink, slip fiber gasket onto exposed sink
flange. With arrows pointing up, screw support ring into 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.
8.
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 (2D).
9.
Cushion Mounting detail:
When the cushion mount is installed
correctly, the lip of the sink flange fits into the groove on the
inside of the cushion mount and mount ring can be pulled
downward over the cushion mount and will be free to rotate.
The bottom bead of the cushion mount acts as a gasket
between the bottom of the sink flange and the top of the
disposer. See illustration 2D.
10.
The disposer must be installed so that the reset button is readily
accessible.
