Before You Begin
CAUTION: Risk of personal injury or product damage. Handle
with care. Vitreous china can break or chip if the product is
handled carelessly.
DANGER: Risk of electrical shock. Connect to a properly
grounded, grounding-type receptacle, protected by a
Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter (GFCI).
A dedicated 120VAC, 15A, 60Hz circuit (protected by a Class A
GFCI) is required for installation.
Observe all local plumbing and building codes.
Carefully inspect the new toilet for damage.
If the existing toilet does not have a supply shut-off valve below
the tank, install one before installing the new toilet.

old tank and bowl.
Remove the old wax seal from the floor with a putty knife.

2. Install Electrical Service
DANGER: Risk of electrical shock. Connect only to a
properly-grounded, grounding-type receptacle which is protected
by a Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter (GFCI).
A licensed electrician should install a properly-grounded,
grounding-type receptacle which is protected by a Class A
Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter.
The receptacle should be located 6” (15.2cm) above the floor line,
and 2-3/4” (7cm) to the right of the closet flange centerline.
The toilet electrical cord is 36” (91.4cm) long.

3. Install the New Toilet
Install or relocate the supply and outlet as necessary to conform
to the roughing-in dimensions.
Install a supply shut-off valve.
Record the model number in the Homeowners Guide.
Lay the toilet down onto a padded surface.
From the bottom of the toilet, firmly press a new wax seal around
the toilet outlet.
Remove the temporary rag (if used) from the toilet flange hole.
Align and lower the toilet over the flange and T-bolts.
CAUTION: Risk of external leakage. Do not lift or rock the
bowl after placement. If you break the watertight seal, you must
install a new wax seal.
Apply your full body weight around the toilet to set the seal.
Assemble the washers and nuts onto the exposed T-bolts.
CAUTION: Risk of product damage. Overtightening may cause
breakage or chipping of vitreous china.
Carefully tighten the nuts.
NOTE: To achieve optimum performance, be sure the bowl is level.

4. Install the Seat
Place the screws through the hinges. Slide a rubber pad over each
screw on the underside of the hinges.
Slide the right and left hinges with the pads and screws into the
seat post holes. When you are looking from the front of the toilet,
the hinge bushings should face toward each other and the
bushings should slant toward the back of the toilet.
NOTE: If the right and left hinges are reversed, the seat and cover
will not rotate correctly.
Attach the hinge screw nuts by accessing the underside of the
seat post holes through the tank. Turn the hinge screw nuts three
or four turns.
Align the brackets of the toilet seat ring and cover. Align the seat
ring and cover over the hinges and bushings. Slide the bushings
from the outside through the seat and cover brackets.
Tighten the hinges with a screwdriver.

5. Complete the Installation
Remove the Packing Material
NOTE: Do not remove the pump hose clamps.
Cut the wire tie holding the pump to the back wall of the toilet.
Discard this wire.
If the pump has shifted during shipping or installation, reposition
it so it is not touching the back or side wall of the toilet.
Complete Connections
Connect the supply shut-off valve to the toilet supply shank.
Open the supply shut-off valve slowly to check for leaks. If the
connections have been properly assembled, a slight tightening of
the nuts should stop any leakage.
Plug the toilet electrical cord into a Class A Ground-Fault
Circuit-Interrupter (GFCI).
Adjust the tank water level to the proper marked waterline by
rotating the threaded rod clockwise to raise the water level or
counterclockwise to lower the water level.
Carefully set the cover onto the tank.
