READ COMPLETELY BEFORE STARTING
NOTE:
Pay close attention to the order of mount assembly parts, as they have been correctly assembled
by the factory. Also, reference the cushion mount detail in illustration 3D below for the proper
orientation
of the cushion mount.
NOTE:
Try practicing this assembly before you get under the sink to get the “feel” of how the parts fit
together.
A.
Disassemble mount assembly from disposer by turning mounting ring to the left
(counterclockwise) and remove.
B.
Raise mounting ring toward top of sink flange. Remove mounting seal ring. Remove mounting
ring. You may want to practice installing the mounting seal ring at this point before you are under
the sink. See paragraph H. Also see the “Important Notice: Mounting Seal Ring Detail.”
C.
Unscrew mounting nut from sink flange and remove fiber washer. You are now left with sink
flange and rubber washer.
D.
The rubber washer is used instead of plumbers putty with stainless steel sinks. Other sinks will
require putty.
E.
If no putty is used, insert sink flange through rubber washer into sink opening. Do not rotate sink
flange once it is seated.
F.
If you use putty instead of the washer, form a ring around underside of sink flange. Insert flange
into sink opening, press down hard to squeeze out excess putty. From under sink, trim off excess
putty flush with bottom edge of sink opening.
G.
From underneath sink, slip fiber washer onto exposed sink flange. With arrows pointing up, screw
mounting nut onto the sink flange, hand tighten until the sink flange will not move (see 3A).
Tighten mounting screws. At this point you may want to insert stopper in sink and fill with water to
check sink flange seal and insure there are no leaks.
H.
Place mounting ring over sink flange and hold in place while installing mounting seal ring (large
side down) so the groove on the inside of mounting seal ring fits over lip on sink flange, similar to
putting the lid on a plastic container (see 3B, 3C & 3D). Please read important notice below.
Important Notice: Mounting Seal Ring Detail
When the mounting seal ring is installed correctly, the lip of the sink flange fits into the groove on the
inside of the mounting seal ring and mounting ring can be pulled downward over mounting seal ring
and will be free to rotate. The bottom bead of the mounting seal ring acts as a gasket between the
bottom of the sink flange and the top of the disposer. See illustration 3D.
