Installation of Mounting Assembly

READ COMPLETELY BEFORE STARTING

NOTE: Pay close attention to the order of the mounting assembly parts, as they have been

correctly assembled by the factory.

1. Disassemble the mounting assembly from the disposer by turning the lower

mount ring until it disengages from the ramps on the mounting

ring and the sink ange assembly can be removed. Loosen the 3 mount

screws until the mounting ring can be moved up to the backup ange. Use a

at blade screwdriver under one end of the snap ring to remove it from the

sink ange. Remove the mounting ring, backup ange and ber gasket

from the sink ange. Note the sequence of these parts as they are stacked in

the correct re-assembly sequence. Keep these parts together and set aside.

2. Clean the area around the sink drain where the disposer is to be mounted.

Evenly apply ½” thick rope of plumber’s putty around ange (see A).

Position the sink ange (2) in the center of the sink drain opening. Push the sink

ange down rmly to make a good seal (see B). Note: Excess putty will be

squeezed out during the installation and should not be cleaned up until

the end

DO NOT move or rotate the sink ange once seated or the seal may be

broken. Note: Some sink manufacturers may recommend “Non- Staining”

plumber’s putty; check your sink care instructions.

3. Using a towel in the sink to prevent scratching, place a weight (such as the

disposer) on the sink ange to hold it in place until the sink ange assembly is

secured from the underside of the sink.

4. Reassemble the ber gasket, (3) backup ange (4) and mounting ring,

(6), making sure the ber gasket is on top of the backup ange,

and that the backup ange is on top of the mounting ring (see C).

They must be in this order! From underneath the sink ange, place the

gasket/ange/ring assembly, gasket on top, onto the sink ange (see D).

5. Holding all 3 parts up against the sink, pull the snap ring (7) open and press

rmly into the groove on the sink ange until it snaps into place (see D).

Once in place, it will hold the mounting ring up.

6. Insert 3 mounting screws (5) into mounting ring and tighten screws evenly

and rmly against the backup ange (see E). Use shorter screws if the

sink is more than 3/8” thick. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN!

Trim off excess putty in the sink.

NOTE: Shorter screws should be available at your local hardware store.

NOTE: Read Operating Instructions at the end of installation.
