should be connected and bath system tested to be sure
it is working properly before installing the skirt.
Mount the shell clip to the wooden block located under
the bath rim at the center of the rim. (As shown in
illustration 1.) The shell clip is to be located about 7/8"
from the inside of the bath rim edge. Mark hole locations
on the block using the clip as a template. Then drill pilot
holes about 1/8" deep using a 3/32" drill bit. Use caution
to avoid drilling through bath rim. Secure the clip to
the wooden block with screws as shown.
Install the bath per instructions
supplied with the individual product.

to the wood blocks as shown using the metal brackets
and fasteners provided. Check the vertical alignment of
the posts with a level and fasten the bottom of the posts
