Connect disposer to mounting assembly with
Lift & Latch® and Complete Installation
NOTE BEFORE INSTALLING THE DISPOSAL
Lift & Latch Technology features a lower mounting ring that is xed with a tab; the lower mounting
ring will not turn freely on the disposal. (This is intentional for ease of installation and lifting the
disposal with two hands).
Tip: Review how the lower mounting ring tabs interact with the ramps
on the bottom of the ange prior to install.
WARNING
Do not position your head or body under
disposer; unit could fall during removal
or installation.
1 Lift the disposal to align with ange. Ensure
all three (3) mounting tabs on the lower
mounting ring are aligned with the lowest part
of the three (3) ramps on the ange. Slightly
push/compress the mounting gasket against
the ange and turn the disposal to the right
to slide up the ramps. Verify all three tabs are
engaged on the ange ramps.
2 Once the lower mounting ring is secure on
the ange ramps, the disposal will rotate
freely. Rotate the disposal to the right and
align with plumbing. Do not turn the disposal
to the left as it could fall off the ange ramps.
Lock the ange in place by using a 1/4
inch Allen wrench or screwdriver for
leverage. Insert the Allen wrench or
screwdriver in one of the hooks on the
lower mounting ring and turn right until
all three tabs are over the ridges on the
high side of the ramps.
Tip: Pliers (not included) can also be
used to help secure the disposal on the
ramps by clasping one end on a hook
and the other end on one of the three
lobes of the ange.
