!WARNINGS!
Alumax
Bath
Enclosures
by
Sapa
are
intended
to
be
installed
by
experienced
installers.
If
you
need
assistance
with
installation,
or
locating
an
experienced
installer,
contact
Alumax
Consumer
Service
at
800
‐

Ensure
that
the
bath
enclosure
is
installed
appropriately.
Improper
installation
can
lead
to
breakage,
damage
or
improper
performance
of
the
bath
enclosure.
Wear
safety
glasses
when
drilling
or
cutting
to
avoid
injury
to
the
eyes.
When
drilling
holes
in
ceramic
tile
or
marble,
use
a
center
punch
and
hammer
to
carefully
break
the
surface
glaze
so
the
drill
can
start
without
skidding.
A
skidding
drill
can
cause
damage
to
the
surface
and
can
be
dangerous
(risk
of
personal
injury).
Use
caution
and
proper
technique
whenever
using
tools
to
avoid
damage
to
property
and/or
personal
injury.
Shower
doors
are
not
water
‐
tight.
They
are
designed
to
prevent
leaks
under
normal
shower
conditions.
Excessive
water
pressure
or
directing
the
shower
directly
at
the
door
can
result
in
leaks.
Do
not
hang
on
towel
bars
or
handles
or
use
them
to
support
your
weight
getting
in
and
out
of
the
bathtub
or
shower.
Towel
bars
and
handles
are
not
intended
to
be
used
as
grab
bars
for
assistance
getting
in
and
out
of
the
shower
or
bathtub.
They
are
not
intended
to
support
a
person’s
weight
and
could
break.
Do
not
use
excessive
force
when
opening
and
closing
shower
doors.
Excessive
force
could
lead
to
glass
breakage
or
other
damage
to
the
enclosure.
!GLASS
WARNINGS!
TEMPERED
GLASS
CANNOT
BE
CUT.
Attempting
to
cut
tempered
glass
will
result
in
the
glass
breaking
or
shattering.
USE
CAUTION
WHEN
HANDLING
GLASS
PANELS.
Safety
tempered
glass
is
very
resistant
to
breakage,
but
it
can
still
break
if
unequal
pressure
is
placed
on
it
during
installation
(or
if
cutting
of
the
glass
is
attempted).
In
addition,
the
sharp
corners
of
the
panels
can
damage
tile
and
floor
coverings
or
cause
injury.
BEFORE
BEGINNING
INSTALLATION
Unpack
your
unit
carefully
and
inspect
for
freight
damage.
Lay
out
and
identify
all
parts
using
the
instruction
sheets
as
a
reference.
Before
discarding
the
carton,
check
for
small
hardware
bags
that
tend
to
fall
into
the
bottom
of
the
box.
If
any
parts
are
damaged
or
missing,
refer
to
the
descriptions
noted
in
the
instructions
when
contacting
your
dealer
for
replacements.

to
level
the
tub
track
or
plumb
the
wall
jams.

present
after

a
non

of
seven
to
eight
may
be
used.
Comet

Cleaner®

Association
(BEMA).
DO
NOT
USE
SCOURING
