STEP 3
If the subfloor is level, no other preparation is neces-
sary. You can proceed to install the shower base. If the
subfloor is not level, level the subfloor by spreading floor
leveling compound, mortar, plaster or minimal expansion structural foam with a minimum density of 5 lbs/
cubic feet EVENLY over ENTIRE area where base will
be installed. The compound used MUST make contact
with the entire bottom surface of the base. Both sides of
a joint or splice of subfloor should be level to each other.
Level and support waste pipe cutout area greater than 5"
x 5". The base is NOT to be supported by the tile flange.

STEP 4
Before installing the base, make sure the 4 water
supply hoses are routed to seat area.
If you have a With Air unit also route the air supply hose
to the seat area.
If you have a With Air unit also pull the 2 flow switch
cables and the control panel cable through base at this
time.
With the drain fitting passing over the center of the
drainpipe, lower the shower base carefully into place,
push down firmly until the base is in place.
You must check the level of the base in two directions.
Do not lift a corner of the shower base to level the base.
This will cause a loss of contact with the mortar and void
your warranty. Attach the shower base flange to the stud
wall and blocking with self-drilling screws (included).
Use a minimum of 3 screws per flange section.

SHIM INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: If there is any gap between base flange and
stud or blocking, shims MUST be used to prevent
distortion or cracking of the flange. See Shim
Instructions on page 6.
STEP 5
Before installing the seat frame, apply silicone sealant
around mating flange on base. Lower seat frame onto
flange and base. Attach the seat frame flange to the stud
wall and blocking with self-drilling screws (included).
Use a minimum of 3 screws per flange section. Clean up
any excess sealant.
NOTE: If there is any gap between seat frame flange
and stud or blocking, shims MUST be used to prevent distortion or cracking of the flange. See Shim
Instructions on page 6.
STEP 6
With a large screwdriver and the tool included with the
drain, tighten the inside compression nut to seal the
drain pipe connection. After drain is fully installed, test
for proper drainage. If the shower base does not drain
properly, rectify this condition before proceeding with
the installation. Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath© is not re-
sponsible for removal and/ or reinstallation costs.

CLEAN UP AFTER BASE INSTALLA TION
To avoid dulling and scratching the acrylic surface of the base, never use abrasive cleaners. A mild liquid detergent
and warm water clean soiled surfaces.
Remove spilled plaster with a wood or plastic edge. Metal tools scratch the surface. Spots left by plaster or grout
can be removed if lightly rubbed with detergent on a damp cloth or sponge.
Paint, tar, or other difficult stains can be removed with paint thinner, turpentine, or isopropyl alcohol (rubbing
alcohol).
Minor scratches which do not penetrate the color finish can be removed by lightly sanding with 600-grit wet/dry
sandpaper. You can restore the glossy finish to the acrylic surface of the base with a special compound, Meguiar’s
#10 Mirror Glaze. If not available, use automotive rubbing compound followed by an application of automotive paste
wax.
Major scratches and gouges which penetrate the acrylic surface require refinishing. See your Jacuzzi Whirlpool
