Step 6 · Mount the Garbage Disposal
This step can be awkward due to the weight and position of the disposal. Lift the garbage disposal unit up to the mounting ring. Align the three mounting tabs on the disposal with the ramps on the mounting ring. Push the disposal up and turn it clockwise until the tabs lock firmly into place over the ridges on the mounting ring ramps. You should feel it lock in. You can use the small wrench often supplied with the disposal (or a pair of pliers) to insert into a mounting lug for extra leverage to turn and tighten it fully.
