ATTENTION INSTALLER!
1.
Place the tub on a flat surface such as the driveway.
2.
Seal the drain with tape.
3.
Fill tub to overflow and allow tub to stand for five minutes
without the pump running
. Examine
all fittings carefully for leaks.
NOTE:
The overflow is a plumbing device designed to prevent
water from reaching a certain level in your tub. DO NOT, under any circumstances, tape off or
block the overflow in any way. Any controls located above the normal water line are designed to
be water-resistant, not water-proof. The controls will not leak under normal usage, however, they
are not warranted against leaks when improperly used or subjected to conditions for which they
were not designed.
4.
Plug the pump, blower and/or in-line heater into a 110v GFCI outlet. Start the pump, blower
and/
or in-line heater, and check all fittings for leaks.
Hand tighten if necessary.
5.
Check that all optional equipment is functioning properly and that the features on the tub
match exactly what was ordered.
6.
If any leaks or operating problems are discovered, do not complete installation until prob-
lems are resolved. MTI will not be responsible for any costs involved with removing or
reinstalling the tub, or for the costs of any surrounding materials.

Always protect tub from construction damage by using a protective cover. Damage, including
chips and scratches, incurred at the jobsite is excluded from warranty.
Do not store tub in tem-
peratures below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Proper waste and overflow installation is the responsibility of the
installer. MTI does not warrant leaks associated with improper waste and overflow installation.
WARNING:
Certain cleaning products will permanently damage the acrylic surface. Read product label
carefully before applying any cleaning product. Never use anything abrasive, aerosol sprays or any

Never leave a full or filling bath unattended.
This tub must be tested for leaks and proper operation prior to enclosure of surrounding areas. Failure to do so will
void the warranty. This tub was water tested at the factory and found to be leak free and fully operational prior to
shipping. Freight handling and job site exposure may have deteriorated the condition of the product. It is the
responsibility of the installer to thoroughly test the unit prior to installation. Tubs are warrantied for indoor use only.
Alcove soaker and whirlpool tub models with integrated skirt and tile flange do not come standard with factory
installed pre-leveled foam base and will ship with support blocks adhered
to
the bottom of the tub to protect the
integrated skirt during shipment, handling, and storage of the product. Blocks must be removed prior to installation,
and the tub leveled at the rim and supported by a proper bedding compound upon installation. See detailed
installation instructions for more information.
