Tank Cover Spring Bracket Installation
Using a 1/8” hex key, remove the shoulder screw from
both tank covers.
Using a 5/16” wrench, move the hex head bolt from one
side of the tank cover to the opposite side. The new bolt
location should be the same as where the shoulder screw
was located. Repeat this step on both tank covers.
Place the gas spring mounting brackets onto each tank
cover. The mounting brackets are NOT identical. Assure
that the correct mounting bracket is installed onto the
correct side. The spring mounting flange should be on
the same side as the handle. Also the slope in the spring
mounting flange should be going down and away from the handle.
Attach the gas spring mounting brackets to the tank covers with the two
supplied hex head screws and a 5/16” wrench.
Using the clearance holes in the gas spring mounting bracket as a
guide, drill 5/32” pilot holes into the each tank cover.
Apply silicone adhesive to the screw threads of each self drilling screw
and secure the mounting brackets using a total of four screws per cover.
It is important that ample silicone adhesive is used on each screw thread
to ensure that the inside of the tank cover is sealed water tight.

Hinge Brackets Installation:
Locate the six 10-24 truss head screws that are contained in the parts
kit. These screws will have threads that are ½” in length. The screws
that were removed from the appliance may be shorter and should NOT
be used on the following steps.
Do NOT reuse screws previously removed from the appliance on this
step.
Attach both of the new hinge brackets to the appliance using ½” long
screws supplied and a flat blade screwdriver.
Remove the bottom two screws securing the splash back to the back of
the appliance. Retain these screws for future use.
Remove the top two screws securing
the cabinet sides to the back of the
appliance. Retain these screws for
future use.
Install the left hand and right hand
hinge support brackets. Use the
screws and screw holes from the
previous steps to secure the support
bracket to the appliance.
Using the clearance holes in the support bracket as a guide, drill 5/32” pilot holes into the splash back.
Use four self drilling screws to secure the hinge support brackets to the sides of the splash back and cabinet.
