Installation: Mounting It is necessary to secure your toilet to the floor using the two L-brackets. The normal mounting is to position the L-brackets under the base in the recesses in the toilet, as shown on the right. Counter sunk mounting screws are included for installing to a wood floor. To mount the L-brackets to the floor, position the base of the toilet in the previously selected location. Attach the L-brackets to the toilet with the knobs provided. If you choose to mount the L-brackets facing out (not under the toilet) simply mark the holes of the brackets on the floor with a pencil for drill locations. If you
choose to mount them under the toilet, carefully trace around as much of the outline of the bracket as possible. Measure the distance between the bracket and the lines you drew. Now remove the brackets from the toilet and move the toilet out of the way. Carefully position the L-brackets inside of the lines that you drew and mark the holes for drilling. Before drilling any holes in your floor or walls, be sure you know what is behind them! The holes in the brackets are for #12 countersunk bolts or screws. If you are using the screws provided you will need to drill a 1/8 inch pilot hole in the drill marks you made on the floor. If you are uncertain if your brackets are positioned correctly, drill and mount just one bracket. Then reposition the toilet and mount to the one attached bracket. Check the positioning of your other bracket and marks. If all looks good, proceed with drilling and mounting the other bracket. If your markings are off, adjust your lines and proceed with mounting the second bracket. If mounting the toilet to a floor that will get wet frequently, a small amount of sealant should be placed in the holes before installing your screws. Attach your toilet and check to be sure everything works and fits as you intended.
Do not over tighten the hold down knobs as you will damage the threads in the base!
