Some toilets may not provide adequate access to the seat mounting holes preventing proper installation
of the Standard Mounting Hardware.
In this case, you will need to use the Alternate Mounting Hardware and follow the enclosed instructions.
Check the line that connects the toilet tank to the water shut off valve. If it is a rigid pipe, you may need to
purchase a flexible hose to replace it before installing the Swash 450 / 550. The length of the hose and the
size of the connectors will vary.

Seat Cleaning and Removal
Maintenance
P r e s s
C A U T IO N C A U T IO N
Use a soft, damp cloth and mild cleanser (such as dish
soap) to wipe down the seat. DO NOT scrub or use
harsh, abrasive products to clean the Swash 450 / 550.
For a more thorough cleaning, you may remove the
Swash 450 / 550. To release, push the button located
on the back right side of the seat and pull forward.
For proper Swash 450 / 550 function, it is important to occasionally clean the filters. Frequency of cleaning
depends on your local water supply. Clogged filters cause decreased water flow, affecting operation.
It is recommended that you clean the retractable nozzles monthly or as
necessary. To clean the nozzles, pull them out gently and use a soft, damp
brush or cloth to wipe down. DO NOT use soap or detergents to clean the nozzles.
