Before you remove your old toilet, unpack the new toilet and care-
fully inspect each part for any damage that may have occurred during
shipment. If damage is discovered, contact your place of purchase. You
do not want to discover damage after the toilet has been installed. Until
you are ready to begin installation, place the toilet in a safe place to pre-
vent damage. Check contents of carton for furnished materials.

and locations of water supply and outlet.
