1 Lift the disposal to align with flange. Ensure all three (3) mounting tabs on the lower mounting ring are aligned with the lowest part of the three (3) ramps on the flange. Slightly push/compress the mounting gasket against the flange and turn the disposal to the right to slide up the ramps. Verify all three tabs are engaged on the flange ramps.
2 Once the lower mounting ring is secure on the flange ramps, the disposal will rotate freely. Rotate the disposal to the right and align with plumbing. Do not turn the disposal to the left as it could fall off the flange ramps.
Lock the flange in place by using a 1/4 inch Allen wrench or screwdriver for leverage. Insert the Allen wrench or screwdriver in one of the hooks. of the hooks on the lower mounting ring and turn right until all three tabs are over the ridges on the high side of
the ramps.
Tip: Pliers (not included) can also be used to help secure the disposal on the ramps by clasping one end on a hook and the other end on one of the three lobes of the flange.
CAUTION
To avoid leaks and/or potential falling hazard, make sure all 3 mounting tabs are latched over ridges.
WARNING
Do not position your head or body under disposer; unit could fall during removal or installation.
NOTICE
Property Damage: Risk of long/short term water leakage if all three mounting tabs are not properly engaged on all slide-up ramps and locked in place past the ridges.

Rotate disposer to align with plumbing and reconnect plumbing (and dishwasher reconnection if used.)
To test for leaks, insert (M) into (B), press down evenly until it snaps into place. Insert (A) into sink opening, fill sink with water, remove (A) to drain, then look under sink for leaking water.
NOTICE
Property Damage: Risk of long/short term water leakage if not properly assembled.
You may need to trim tube for proper fit. To reduce the potential of leaking, the drain line must be properly pitched (not less than 1/4″ of pitch per foot of run) from the disposer to the drain connection, with the drain connection being lower than the disposer discharge. Failure to do so could lead to premature corrosion or leaking due to standing water left in the disposer.
