or

 

1

Prepare

 

the

and

 

ensure

 

that

be

 

able

 

to

 

support

 

the

 

total

 

weight

 

of

 

the

floor)

 

and

 

the

 

tub

 

is

 

leveled

 

for

 

the

 

door

 

seal

 

to

 

work

 

properly.

  

If

 

the

 

tub

 

is

 

not

 

perfectly

 

leveled,

 

it

 

could

 

result

 

in

 

water

 

leakage

 

and

 

void

 

the

 

warranty.

   

Adjust

 

the

 

legs

 

and

 

lower

 

the

 

tub

 

to

 

the

 

floor

 

base,

 

to

 

within

 

1/16

th

 

if

 

an

 

inch

 

within

 

above

 

the

or

 

tiling.

  

Lower

 

the

 

tub

 

as

 

much

 

as

 

possible

 

and

 

seal

 

with

 

a

 

caulking,

 

if

 

appropriate.

not

 

support

 

the

 

total

 

weight

 

of

 

the

 

bathtub,

 

bather,

 

and

 

the

 

water,

 

it

 

can

 

result

 

in

 

warping

 

of

 

the

 

shell,

 

misalignment

 

of

 

the

 

door,

 

and/or

 

create

 

leaks

 

or
