1. Prepare the Toilet Pan: Ensure the toilet pan's mounting holes are clean and free from debris.
2. Insert Bolts: Place the bolts from the STA-TITE fixing kit through the toilet seat hinges and into the mounting holes of the toilet pan.
3. Attach Nuts: From underneath the toilet pan, attach the STA-TITE nuts to the bolts.
