Shut off the water to the tank and disconnect the supply line from the tank. Flush the toilet and hold the tank lever down to drain water from the tank. Sponge out water from the tank and bowl.
Remove decorative caps that are covering the bolts, and set them aside for later use. Loosen and remove nuts and washers that are holding the toilet in place.
Remove the toilet – you may need to gently rock the toilet to break the seal. Lay down a large towel or old rug and relocate the toilet onto the rug. CAREFULLY lay the toilet on its side or tilt the toilet and wipe off the old, waxy residue from the underside of the toilet base with paper towels.
Remove bolts from the floor flange and set aside. If the floor flange is damaged, replace. Use the putty knife to scrape off wax and residue from the floor flange. Wipe clean with paper towels. If old bolts are being re-used to set the toilet, wipe them clean with a paper towel and re-install them in floor flange. If using new bolts, place bolts in the floor flange. Set wax ring onto floor flange, making sure to centre over pipe opening.
Note: Not compatible with the Perfect Seal product.
Place Metal HydroSeat over the opening (with the BACK towards the wall). If the angled feet touch the floor without pressing down on the wax, then a thicker or additional wax ring is needed.
If the angled metal feet are more than 3/8˝ above the floor, then remove the HydroSeat and use your hand to press down to evenly flatten out the wax. Replace the HydroSeat and recheck height until the feet are about 3/8˝ above the floor.
Centre bolts from the back wall. The bolts should be parallel to the wall so that the toilet will be straight.
Note : Based on the flooring material, you may need to pre-drill the screw holes or use alternative fasteners. Screw HydroSeat down evenly, alternating sides, until screws are snug, using included or other appropriate fasteners, based on the floors surface.
Line up bolts through the holes in the base and reset the toilet. Tighten nuts to secure the toilet to the HydroSeat. Do not over-tighten. Reconnect the water supply line (we recommend replacing old, stiff supply line, with a new flexible supply line) Turn on the water and check the supply line for leaks. Allow the toilet to fill. Flush to check for leaks.
