Important: Mounting surface of toilet must be at, clean and dry with no chemical residue. To prepare
mounting surface, we recommend using Windex® (or any glass cleaner) around the mounting holes of
the toilet to get the mounting surface squeaky clean.
1. Install mounting bases on toilet bowl.
a. Place mounting bases over holes with posts
facing the front of the bowl.
b. Insert screws through the mounting bases and
holes in the toilet.
Tip: Mounting bases rotate 360 degrees allowing
seat to be adjusted and t non-standard hole
spacings (4 ½ to 6 ½ inches).

2. Install wing nuts. DO NOT turn wing nuts.
a. Hold screw down and push wing nut onto screw.
b. Thread wing nut by turning the screw (do not
turn wing nut).
Note: Wing nuts work on a wedge principle.
To function properly, the tips must be centered
in the underside of the mounting hole. If not
tightening, move wing nut around while pushing
upward until tips slip into the hole. As the screw
turns, the points of the wing nut are squeezed
tighter into the mounting hole.
Tip: Do not completely tighten. The mounting
bases must be able to move so the seat can be
attached (Step 4) and adjusted (Step 6).
Note: Industry standard mounting holes are round
and 5 /
8 inch (14 mm) in diameter. If your toilet holes
are not standard or the wing nuts will not thread,
please contact us. We have alternate mounting
hardware available.

3. Rotate mounting bases so the posts are
closest to the front of the bowl (not tank).
Using a tape measure or ruler, adjust the mounting
bases so the posts are approximately 5 ½ inches
apart (this is the distance between the mounting
holes in the seat). Loosen screws if necessary.
5. Close seat and lid.
Tap forward and let the seat and lid close by
themselves.
Tip: It is OK to push the seat and lid closed. Unlike
other Slow-Close seats, Bath Royale® seats can
be force-closed repeatedly, without damaging
the Slow-Close mechanism.
Closing too slow? Push it closed.

4. Attach seat (Quick-Release mechanism).
With mounting bases slightly loose, carefully lower
seat (holes) onto mounting posts. NOTE: If posts
are not perfectly aligned, move seat and mounting
base(s) so both posts can be inserted at the same
time (lift mounting bases to unstick from the bowl,
if necessary).
Tip: Push seat down and jiggle slightly, making
sure both posts are completely inserted.

6. Adjust Seat
With the lid closed, align seat with bowl by moving
the seat and mounting bases together.
Tip: Lift mounting bases to unstick from bowl
(loosen screws if necessary). We recommend
installing the seat overhanging the front of the
bowl by ¼ inch, so the seat can be lifted more
easily without touching the toilet bowl.
Tip: In most cases, screw heads will be towards
back of screw slot (see drawing). Don’t worry
if screw positions don’t match on both sides.
Hole positions can vary slightly on all toilets.
7. Double check seat alignment and tighten
screws very rmly.
Tip: If screw heads are obstructed by the seat,
remove seat for nal tightening (see next
step).
Tip: If wing nuts are turning, hold them for nal
tightening. If not tightening, re-visit Step 2 for
proper threading.
8. Remove seat.
Open seat and lid. (Hinges will pivot and you will
feel some resistance. This is normal and the seat
should remain connected to the posts).
With seat open to vertical position (90 degrees
from closed), lift straight up to remove seat.
Tip: If seat does not release, lean it back slightly
further (i.e. 100 degrees), then forward to 85
degrees and lift up.
Tip: Quick Release automatically ‘unlocks’ at 85-90
degrees and ‘locks’ at any other angle (closed
or partially closed).

9. Place mounting base covers on mounting
bases.
10. Replace seat.
Align holes with mounting posts and carefully
lower seat onto posts.
Tip: Push down and jiggle, making sure both
posts are completely inserted. (If difcult, re-check
alignment of posts and holes).
Tip: Practice removing seat (Step 8) and replacing
seat (Step 10).
CARE & CLEANING TIP: DO NOT spray or saturate the mounting bases. (Doing so may
cause seat to move out of position). Spray your cloth rst, then wipe.
Troubleshooting Tips:
a. Rear bumpers are not supposed to touch the bowl until person is seated.
b. If seat or lid do not stay open, adjust the seat forward (see Step 6). Increasing the length also
increases layback angle. Make sure tank lid is pushed back as far as possible.
c. See more tips and installation video at BathRoyale.com.
