INSTALLATION SEQUENCE continued
•

the bathtub is leveled via a water level at the intended local installation area.
•
Picture 6:
place the bathtub by raising it up 3½” with 4x4 peices of lumber so you can have access from the bottom of
the bathtub.
Important note:
during the installation, the bathtub should not be turned on its side to prevent its weight
from deflecting its monobloc sides. This is why it is important to use supports to raise the bathtub above the floor.
This will also provide you with easy access to the internal plumbing parts.
•
Picture 7:
the monobloc sides of the bathtub touching the floor should be marked. The panel supporting brackets should
be taken inside as much as the thickness of the acrylic panel allows and be fixed with silicone to the floor. The panel
supporting brackets are mounted to the bathtub feet to support the decorative front panel in case of unexpected lateral
forces.
•
Picture 8:
the water outlet pipe should be connected.
•
Picture 9:
foot leveling lock nuts are adjusted.

If necessary, installation is completd by applyingsilicone at several points between the bottom panel and floor.
