BEFORE INSTALLATION

1. Carefully inspect near the existing toilet to see if the toilet has a supply shut-off valve below the tank. If it  does not, install one before installing the new toilet.
2. Confirm that there is enough floor space to install the toilet unit and that the bathroom door will open/close without obstruction.
3. Inspect and install new closet flange if needed. Do not install toilet unless closet flange is in good condition.
4. Allow wax seal to reach room temperature before installation to ensure proper seal.

INSTALLATION

1. Place two new closet bolts into the slot on the toilet flange.

2. Lay toilet on to its side (use cardboard to cushion the ceramic and prevent damage). Install the wax seal evenly around the waste flange horn. Place a bead of sealant on bottom of toilet foot.

3. Align and lower toilet over flange and bolts. Apply your full body weight around the toilet to set seal.
   Note: Make sure to not lift or rock the bowl after placement. If the watertight seal breaks. The wax seal will need to be replaced, or their will be a risk of external leakage.

4. Place bolt cap base on bolt, then place metal washer and nut. Alternately tighten the flange nuts until the bowl is seated to the floor
   Note: Ensure that toilet is level before fully tightening closet bolts.
   Note: Overtightening may cause breakage or chipping.
   

5. If bolts extend more than 1/4” (6mm) over top of the nuts, cut off excess. Conceal with bolt cap.

6. Water supply connection: Connect the flexible supply line from the stop valve to the toilet fill valve. Make sure not to use sealants on supply fittings. Hand tighten supply line, then open stop valve and look closely for any water leaks. Adjust the tank water height to the indication mark on the flush valve tube.

ADJUSTMENTS & **TROUBLESHOOTING**

Adjust fill valve water line level to proper height. To adjust the water level rotate the adjustable rod, and that will adjust the height of the float cup and change water level.
