To Install the Equipment to the Toilet Bowl
The Medline raised toilet seat has been designed to accommodate a wide variety of toilet bowl types. However, certain
bowl types will require the removal of the existing seat and/or lid to ensure proper fit when installed.
1. Lift the seat and lid of the toilet.
2. Rotate adjustment knob of the raised toilet seat counter clockwise until the paddle is far enough back to clear the
inner rim of the bowl.
3. Place the raised toilet seat onto the bowl rim hooking the rear wings under edge of bowl. Check that the unit rests
flat on the bowl rim. The knob must be at the front end of the toilet bowl.
4. Center the unit on the bowl rim and push the back as far as possible with your hands.
5. Rotate adjustment knob clockwise to tighten. Turn until resistance is felt, then turn an additional 0.32 cm until snug.
