NOTE: Pay close attention to the order of the sink flange parts, as they have bee n correctly assembled by the factory.
A. Disassemble the sink flange assembly from the disposer by turning the mount ring to the left (clockwise) and removing it.
B. Raise the mount ring toward the top of the sink flange.
Remove the cushion mount and the mount ring. You may want to practice installi ng the cushion mount at this point before you are under th e sink.
C. Unscrew the suppor t ring from th e sink flange and remove the fiber gaske t. You are no w left with the sink flange and the rubber gasket.
D. The rubber gasket is used instead of plumbers putty with stainless steel sinks. Some cast sinks will require putty.
E. If no putty is used, insert the sink flange through the rubber gasket into the sink opening. Do not turn the flange once it is seated.
F. If you use putty inste ad of the gasket, form a ring around the underside of the sink flange. Insert the flange into the sink opening, press down hard to squeeze out excess putty. From under the sink, trim off excess putty flush with the bottom edge of the sink opening.
G.From underneath the sink, slip the fiber gasket onto the exposed sink flange. With arrows pointing up, screw the support ring onto the sink flange and hand tighte n until the sink flange will not m ove.
At this point you may want to insert the stopper in the sink and fill with water to ch eck the sink flange seal and insure there are no leaks.
H.Place the mount ring over the sink flange and hold in pla ce while installing the cushion m ount (large side down). Make sure the g roove on the inside of the cushion mo unt fits over the lip on the sink flange, similar to putting your fingers around the entire cushion mount with sli ght pressure. Do not press too hard. When the cushion mo unt is properly seated,
