1. Components and Installation of mount assembly
PLEASE READ BEFORE INSTALLATION
NB: Pay close attention to the order of mount assembly parts, as they have been correctly assembled by the factory.
(See 1A and 1B.)
A. Disassemble the mounting assembly, as it has been shipped, by turning the sink flange until the projections align
with the notches in the mount ring and allow you to pull the sink flange up and out of the remaining mount
assembly. Note the sequence of these parts as they are stacked and refer to 1A and 1B to identify each part.
Unpack the 3 mount screws and screw them half way through the mount ring (notice “THIS SIDE UP” is imprinted
on top of the mount ring).
Next, stack the rubber gasket on top of the protector ring and sit them on top of the pointed ends of the
mount screws.
B. Keep these assembled parts together and set aside. Before you connect the disposer to the mount assembly
under the sink, you may want to practice engaging the groove of the Hush Cushion® to the ridge at the bottom
of the sink flange (see 1A and read Sec. 6).
C. Be sure your sink is clean. Pack the underside rim of the flange with putty (see 1C). Position the sink flange so it
is centred and readable as you look into your sink. Push the sink flange firmly into the sink opening to make a
good seal. DO NOT move or rotate the sink flange once seated or the seal may be broken.
D. Take the remaining portion of the mount assembly, as it was set aside and make sure that the rubber gasket is on
top of the protector ring. From under the sink, while holding the sink flange firmly with one hand, line up the
notches in the mount ring with the projections of the sink flange. Slide the mount assembly up onto the sink flange,
past the projections and give the mount assembly a 1/4 turn, so that it will hang by itself (see 1D).
E. Tighten the 3 mounting screws evenly with a screwdriver (see 1E). DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN! Trim off excess putty.
