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. 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.
