INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

GENERAL INSTALLATION INFORMATION

Carefully uncrate and inspect your new bath for any shipping 
damage. If such damage is found, report it to your vendor 
immediately.
After inspection and during installation, protect the bath from 
construction damage. 

Before installation, and before 

enclosing with wallboard, tile, etc., water test the unit and 
check for leaks.

If a whirlpool, do not make modifications to the whirlpool system 
or remove pump from factory mounting. This could adversely 
affect the safety and performance of the whirlpool and void the 
warranty. Do not handle or move the whirlpool by the pump, 
motor, or piping system.
Fittings (bath filler, shower arm, etc.) are not provided with the 
bath and must be ordered separately. Framing and enclosing 
materials are provided by others.
