tub. Note: it is important that ALL leveling feet are completely touching the floor and level for the door system to work
properly.
2 Check to insure the drain rough has been placed at the proper location. See spec sheets attached for you unit.

including the following:
Danger: Risk of electrical shock. Connect only to a separate circuit protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
Installation must provide access for servicing pump/ motor (all Tubs come with an access panel for the pump/motor and faucet).
1. Install tub waste according to instructions provided with fitting.
2. Install faucet. If spout and supply lines are to be installed on deck of tub, mark the locations and drill pilot holes from the side of

3. Standard installation – After framing is complete, set product in place to check fit and make certain that the tub can be properly
leveled. (Caution: if walk in bathtub is not resting on ALL leveling feet, water will not drain properly and may cause the door to
leak).
Warning: Never allow the weight of the tub to be supported by wood support stringers and do not use tile flange on the 60x32 to screw or nail in place,
as this will result in product failure and void the warranty.
