Setting the Toilet in Place
Once the wax ring is set in place, you now need to place the toilet. Carefully lift the toilet bowl, or with a helper lift the bowl and tank, onto the closet flange aligning the toilet base bolt holes with the bolts.
The toilet will be elevated off the floor slightly as you hit the wax ring, but continue with gentle rocking pressure until the toilet is firmly seated.You will need to get right over the center of the bowl to best control the placement of the bowl.
Install the plastic cover base, washer, nut and nut cover for the two hold down bolts. Tighten each side a little at a time, trying to keep the torque or tightness similar on both sides of the porcelain toilet. Be careful not to over tighten the bolts or the tank base will crack. Clean up any oozed plumbers putty from the bottom of the toilet base.
