1 The A LUMAX 738 Pivot Shower Door is completely reversible and may be installed pivotright or pivot-left. Using the diagram, determine the correct position for your installation. For maximum waterproofing, the pivot jamb should always be opposite the shower head. These instructions depict a pivot-left installation. CAUTION: For safety, the door must always open outward. 2 NOTE: The 738 unit may be installed without using the sloped curb [A] provided.
4 Slide the jamb wiper vinyl [B] into the pivot jamb [C]. A small amount of soap or graphite lubrication will help installation. Cut the jamb wiper vinyl 7/8" shorter than the pivot jamb to allow room for the pivot brackets [D]. Fit one of the pivot brackets into the bottom of the pivot jamb. Lock it in place with a #6 x 3/8" truss head screw [E] and a #8-32 x 1/8" set screw [F] (a 5/64" Allen wrench [G] is provided).
7 Insert a nylon pivot bushing [M] into the bottom pivot bracket [D]. Slip the second pivot bushing over the top pivot pin on the door panel. Position the door by inserting the bottom pivot pin into the bottom pivot bracket. Hold the door vertical and slide the top pivot bracket into the pivot jamb [C] and over the top pivot pin and pivot bushing. Secure the top pivot bracket with a #6 x 3/8" truss head screw [E] and a #8-32 x 1/8" Allen set screw [F]. 8 Your Pivot Door is equipped with a magnetic catch.
10 Cut the drip rail [V] to the length of the bottom rail minus 11/16". Clean the bottom door rail and the drip rail thoroughly to ensure proper adhesion. Unroll the double stick tape [Y] and carefully apply it to the back of the drip rail (do not peel the tape backing yet). Insert the tapered drip vinyl [W] into the drip rail. Position the drip rail flush with the bottom and pivot side of the door panel [L], then raise the strike side until the bottom edge of the drip vinyl is parallel to the curb [A].
The Care and Cleaning of your new Alumax Bath Enclosure. The simplest and preferred method of cleaning your unit is by washing it with clean water and drying with a soft cloth. If soil is still present after drying, a non-abrasive cleanser with a pH of seven to eight may be used. Comet Bathroom Cleaner® has been tested and is recommended by the Bath Enclosure Manufacturers Association (BEMA). Do not use scouring pads, sharp instruments, or acid-based cleansers to clean the unit.
