 Assemble the hinge and gasket and slide the tab and 

bolt through the pan until it engages on the underside. 
Finger tighten only. Ensure the tab is the correct way up.

 Push the hinge pins into the seat/cover lugs. Please 

ensure that the pins marked A&B are in the correct side. 
The holes in the pins should line up correctly.

3.

 Lower the seat/cover onto the pan, engaging the 

hinge pins with the hinge bases. The position of the 
hinge bases may need to be adjusted to allow this.

to allow the correct degree of seat/cover overhang at the 
front.

5.

 Once adjusted, remove the seat/cover and tighten the 

bases with a spanner or screwdriver. Clip the hinge covers
in place before replacing the seat/cover. Care should be

Before You Start

●  Check the pack and ensure all parts are present. If not, contact your vendor who will be able to help

●  Ensure you have the correct tools to hand, plenty of space to work and a clean, dry area for assembly

●  Protect the toilet seat/cover whilst fitting and do not place tools on seat/cover during installation

Please Note: Although these instructions are comprehensive, it is always recommended that a 

technically competent installer should undertake installation

 

To adjust the speed that the seat and 

cover fall, remove the hinge pins, 

rotate them and replace them as in 

the illustrations to the right. 

Rotating so that the hole in the hinge pin is 

further from the front of the seat

 will 

make the seat and cover close 

more 

slowly

Rotating so that the hole in the hinge pin is 

closer to the front of the seat

 will make 

the seat and cover close 

more quickly

Care & Use

Clean with warm, soapy water only. Do not use scourers, abrasive or chemical cleaners
