Talano & Alera Installation v2.6

Fitting Instructions
Prior to installation, ensure that the site is prepared in accordance with the requirements detailed in
the Pre-Installation manual. Inspect the installation area, paying particular attention to floor fixing
locations. Ensure that the flooring is of a sound, solid surface with no movement or flex, and is clear
from dirt and debris.
1) Move the bath into the local area. There are 4 transport wheels
– one in each corner. Remove
the wheels and attach the adjustable bath feet (supplied) to the tap end of the bath. It is essential to
keep the foot frames at the correct spacing (see figure 4.0 for further details).
2) Offer the bath into position making sure that the floor is of a sound, solid surface. If the floor
slopes, (i.e. wet room installation with a centre drain) shims should be fitted under the bath feet or
foot plate making sure that the fixings hold the feet firmly in place. The most common issue with
bath failure is the bath not being fitted level and firmly to the floor.
3) Set the foot frames. Ensure that the space between the feet and base plate is set correctly (see
figure 4.1 for dimensional information). The foot base plate must be vertical and upright. Adjust the
height of the feet at the ‘tap end’ of the bath to ensure bath is level in all aspects. Floor finish, (i.e.
Altro / Tiling etc.) must be in place prior to installation.
