DISCLAIMER

: The frame specifications and configuration vary based on model. If the sub- floor does

not support the total weight of the bath, bather and the water, it can result in warping of the shell,

misalignment of the door and/or create leaks and could lead to damage of your home.

Your walk in bathtub has been tested and leveled properly before leaving our facility. Our walk in
bathtubs have been set on a perfectly level surface to ensure no leaks and proper door closing. It is
up to your installer to test and make any adjustments necessary to ensure that all leveling legs
support the tub frame and that the door is aligned correctly to prevent any leaks. The door must
close smoothly to create a water tight seal.

Extending or shortening the legs will help correct any alignment issues to close the gap between the
door and the frame. Please call us immediately if any issues arise or if you have any concerns.
