BEFORE BEGINNING INSTALLATION: 

♦ 

CAREFULLY READ THE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE BEGINNING THE INSTALLATION.  

 

♦ 

CONSULT LOCAL BUILDING CODES to make sure the installation complies with standards.  In-
stallation must comply with current local, state, and federal building, plumbing, and electrical 
codes. 

It is the responsibility of the installer or owner to determine code requirements prior to installa-

tion. 

 

♦ 

CHECK ENTIRE UNIT FOR CONCEALED DAMAGE.  If there is damage, DO NOT INSTALL! Ship-
ping damage must be reported to the carrier immediately.  All damage must be discovered and 
reported prior to installation in order to have it covered under the warranty!  

 

♦ 

Examine all plumbing for damage before installation.  If damage has occurred, call Safety Bath at 
1-877-826-6666 for instructions.  Alterations or modifications of the plumbing system could ex-
pose users to serious injury and will invalidate all warranty claims. 

 

♦ 

To protect the unit during installation, use a section of the box, cut to size, and place in the bot-
tom of the bathtub. When possible, keep the box cover over the bathtub.  

 

♦ 

Make sure the bathroom floor is level and strong enough to support the weight of the water-filled 
bathtub (50 pounds/sq.ft.).  If you are renovating, remove necessary wallboard to install framing 
and plumbing. Make sure the walls are properly insulated and comply with the appropriate build-
ing code.  

 

♦ 

DO NOT BUILD THE SURROUNDING STRUCTURE BEFORE RECEIVING YOUR SO-LO.  Structure 
measurements should be verified against the unit to ensure a proper fit. 
Make absolutely certain that access panels and/or service openings are properly placed and that 
all possible areas where service may be required are accessible.  

 

♦ 

If your Safety Bath So-Lo is equipped with the Warm Air Massage hydrotherapy system, the sys-
tem’s blower has been pre-installed at the factory.  An access panel has been installed in the 
front panel of the tub to make servicing the blower motor easier.  Safety Bath highly also recom-
mends cutting a minimum of 12" x 12" (30 cm x 30 cm) access panel in the floor to access water 
supply shut-off valves, plumbing, etc. 

 

♦ 

Connections should be made by licensed plumbers and electricians.  

 

♦ 

If replacing an old bathtub, Safety Bath highly recommends cleaning old waste plumbing before 
installing your new So-Lo.  Debris can fall into the drain during bathtub removal, causing block-
ages in the drain. 

 

♦ 

Safety Bath recommends leaving the bathtub’s door slightly ajar when not in use.  This will help 
extend the life of the door seal, and will provide years of trouble-free service. 

 

Important!
