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. After installation, and before
enclosing with wallboard, tile, etc., water test the unit and check for leaks.

If a whirlpool, 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. Check for availability of optional American Standard wall tiling bead (required for recess
installations).

Protect all finished surfaces of the whirlpool during construction and installation using a drop cloth.

WARNING! Do not lift whirlpool by the piping harness at any time.

FOR AFTER-SALES SERVICE CALL 1 [phone] WEEKDAYS.

FRAMING AND INSTALLATION

THE VARIETY OF INSTALLATIONS POSSIBLE FOR THIS BATH MAY REQUIRE FRAMING PROCEDURES OTHER THAN THOSE
SHOWN.

LOCATE STUDS AS REQUIRED. INSURE ROUGH DIMENSIONS ARE PROPER, PLUMB AND SQUARE. FOR WHIRLPOOLS,

PROVISION MUST BE MADE IN ALL INSTALLATIONS FOR AN ACCESS OPENING FOR SERVICING PUMP AND
CONTROLS.

THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE MUST BE USED FOR ALL INSTALLATIONS: STRINGER OR PIER HEIGHT SHOULD BE AS
INDICATED. THIS BATH MUST BE SUPPORTED ALONG IT'S ENTIRE BOTTOM. WE RECOMMEND THE USE OF
MORTAR AS A BEDDING MATERIAL (SAND IS NOT RECOMMENDED). APPLY ENOUGH BEDDING TO SUPPORT THE
COMPLETE BOTTOM OF THE BATH. AFTER THE BEDDING HAS BEEN POURED, AND BEFORE IT SETS, POSITION
WHIRLPOOL OR BATH WITHIN INSTALLATION UNTIL THE RIM IS LEVELED AGAINST THE LEVELING STRINGERS (SEE
"TYPICAL CORNER INSTALLATION") SHOWN BELOW. THE RIM OF THE BATH MUST NOT SUPPORT WEIGHT. ALLOW
THE BEDDING MATERIAL TO COMPLETELY HARDEN BEFORE APPLYING WEIGHT TO THE RIM OR BOTTOM OF THE
BATH. ANY FINISH MATERIAL SUCH AS WALL BOARD OR TILE MUST BE SELF-SUPPORTING IF IT CONTACTS THE
DECK OF THE BATH.
