please make sure the aftercare instructions are made available for the end user to
read.
A. Adjusting the seat hinges
IMPORTANT - It is essential that the hinge mechanism is fitted to the correct mounting points on the seat. Failure
to do so will result in damage to the hinge. To ensure correct fitting, both the mechanism and the seat are marked
with left (L) and right (R) labels. Make sure that the labels on each item are matched (see DIAG B overleaf).
In order to fit the seat correctly it is essential to adjust the seat hinges. The fixing bolt on the hinge is
attached to a sliding plate on the underside of the hinge mechanism body. This sliding plate allows left /
right adjustment. The fixing bolt can also be moved inside this sliding plate allowing forward / backward
adjustment. This combined sliding action allows a wide range of fixing positions, necessary in order to
match the distance between the 2 holes in the toilet pan and to adjust the forward /backward position of
the seat.
B. Bolting the seat to the pan (see DIAG A)
It is essential that:
1. All washers are fitted as in DIAG A. Note that the hinge base rubber washer which slots into the hinge
mechanism body must be fitted prior to inserting fixing bolts into toilet pan.
2. The wing nuts are tightened properly. Failure to adequately tighten the wing nuts may result in the seat
moving around on the pan - care must be taken however not to over tighten the nuts as this could result in
damaging the toilet pan. After a few days use check the nuts are still tight - this is necessary as the washers
will slowly compress in the first few days of use. If the seat lid or ring will not stay in the raised position then
move it further forward on the pan.
