3. DISHWASHER CONNECTION PREPARATION If you are utilizing a dishwasher, complete the following procedure. Using a blunt instrument (steel punch or wooden dowel), knock out entire plug. Do not use a screwdriver or sharp instrument. (When knockout plug falls into disposer, you may remove it or grind it up when the disposer is used. This will not damage the disposer in any way, but it may take some time to grind). KNOCK OUT PLUG WOOD OR METAL DOWEL 4. LOCKING MOUNTING ASSEMBLY DETAIL Attach disposer onto the Upper Mount Ring by aligning the three mount tabs on the Lower Mount Ring with the slide-up Ramps on the Upper Mount Ring and rotating counterclockwise. See Below. The Lower Mount Ring (which is part of the disposer) has 3 tabs that grab the mounting ring ramp. (A) points to the Upper Mount Ring. (B) is the tab that slides up onto the "Ramp". (C) is the "Ear" that is used to help rotate the Lower Mount Ring. Use a screwdriver for leverage if needed. 7 CONNECTION As the Lower Mount Ring is turned counterclockwise each tab slides up onto the Upper Mount Ring Ramp (E) and locks in position over the Ridges (F). Use a screwdriver or hammer for leverage if needed. If a disposer needs to be removed, tapping on the Ear clockwise with a hammer will easily loosen the Lower Mount Ring. 5. DISCHARGE ELBOW & DISHWASHER CONNECTIONS A. Connect the waste elbow to the disposer by sliding the flange against the rubber gasket on the elbow and tightening the screws into the disposer (see 5A). Then connect bottom of the elbow by tightening the slip nut (see 5B). If using a straight pipe, it must have a lip similar to the one on the elbow. Remove the gasket from the elbow and install it on the straight pipe with the flat end of the gasket facing toward the disposer discharge opening. IF YOU ARE NOT CONNECTING TO A DISHWASHER make sure all plumbing connections are tight and in accordance with all plumbing codes and ordinances. Run water and check for leaks. Go on to Step 6. Lift and turn the Lower Mount Ring counterclockwise until all three mount tabs lock over the Ridges (F) on the slide-up Ramps (D) of the Upper Mount Ring.
