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.
