3. Install the Bath
Stack together two 1.8m supports more than 25mm thick on both sides of the drain pipe to temporarily
support the bath.
With help, use lifting straps to carefully lift the bath into position on the supports so the bath drain is over the
drain pipe.
Carefully reposition the bath as needed so the bath drain is directly over the drain pipe.
Use lifting straps and get additional assistance to remove the supports and carefully set the bath on the floor.
Adjust the bath position as needed to ensure that the drain pipe is in the center of the bath drain hole.
Verify that the bath is level. Install shims (not supplied) as needed.
CAUTION: Risk of personal injury.
This bath is extremely heavy. Obtain sufficient help and use lifting
straps to carefully lift or move the bath.
CAUTION: Risk of property damage. For baths with factory-installed drains, make sure the connections
have not become loose during shipping. Tighten as needed to prevent leakage.

Install the flange gasket, drain flange, drain gasket to the bath. Secure the drain flange with the nut.
