Kohler Toilet K-3900 - Manual (Page 13)

3. Determine Mounting Block Location
NOTE: There is a small amount of biodegradable, environmentally safe antifreeze added to the toilet tank
to prevent freezing during shipment. When the toilet is tipped forward, a small amount of the antifreeze
may run onto the floor. Make sure the floor is protected. Do not use a rug as protective material.
Position pieces of the box or other protective material on the floor directly in front of the toilet.
Gently tilt the toilet forward until it rests on the front surface.
NOTE: The installation range of the mounting block is marked on the template. Due to variances in the
width of the base, the exact location must be determined by the installer.
Measure the width of the base, dimension
″A,″ on the left side of the toilet.
From the mark indicating the outside edge of the base, measure inward and mark dimension ″A″ on
the template lines marked ″A.″
Draw a line connecting the marks on each of the lines labeled
″A.″
Measure the width of the base, dimension ″B,″ on the right side of the toilet.
From the mark indicating the outside edge of the base, measure inward and mark dimension ″B″ on
the template line marked
″B.″
Draw a line connecting the marks on each of the lines labeled ″B.″
IMPORTANT! Dimension
″C″ is the distance between the inside edges of the right and left base. The
distance between the outside edges of the mounting blocks should be slightly less than dimension
″C.″
The distance between the edge of the outside edge of the mounting block and the inside edge of the base
must be 1/16
″ (2 mm) or less, or the strength of the mounting block will be compromised.
At the location of the screw holes in the side of the toilet, measure the width of the opening from
the inside edge of each side of the base, dimension
″C.″
