WARNING
IMPORTANT NOTICE
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Indicates that equipment or property damage can result if instructions are not followed.
Read and Understand the Manual
It is the responsibility of any individual who installs or maintains this product to fully
understand and follow proper installation and maintenance procedures. Be aware of the inherent dangers in the use of power tools when installing this product. Read and understand all Warnings, Cautions, and Important Notices in this manual.
Work Safely
DO NOT proceed if any doubt arises about the
correct or safe method of performing anything
found in this or other Swan manuals. The installation of this product can require using power tools. Do not use power tools without adequate training. If necessary, hire or consult a trained professional for expert assistance before continuing.
Use Proper Tools
Always use proper tools which are in good,
working condition during the installation of the
Swan products. Using tools other than those listed could adversely affect the integrity of floors, pipes, walls, or this product and could result in water damage, or other damage to floors, pipes, walls, or other portions of your building or home.
Inspect Before Cutting
Make sure no electrical wiring or plumbing is
present before cutting into a wall.
CAUTION: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury. It may also be used to alert against unsafe practices.
Lifting Hazard
According to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, the
recommended maximum safe lifting weight is 51 pounds, with all lifting conditions perfect—minimal forward reach, steady load close to the body, straight back, load between knees and shoulders, and good grips. To avoid personal injury, always use these proper lifting techniques and use two people to move heavy cartons. Use appropriate lifting devices to move the load. Always use two people when lifting heavy or bulky cartons. DO NOT attempt to lift objects that are too heavy.
WHEN CARRYING A HEAVY LOAD—GET HELP!
Slipping Hazard
Do not install this product in the presence of water. Installing this product without drying all
surfaces, or in the presence of water, could cause you to slip and fall due to wet floors or spilled fluids. Personal injury can result from slips or falls. Before installation, dry all surfaces, including the floor, with a cloth or paper towel. Clean up all water or spilled fluids immediately.
Tripping Hazard
Personal injury can result from tripping over power cords, tools, or other items. DO NOT leave items laying around the work area.
Personal Protection
Be sure to use all personal protective equipment, such as sturdy
work boots, preferably with steel toes, gloves, and hard hat, if necessary, to ensure your own safety. To prevent possible damage to your hearing, always wear ear protection, such as earmuffs or earplugs, when working around power tools.
Cutting Hazard
The installation of the Swan product may require using power tools. Keep hands away
from the cutting edge of any tool used in the installation of our product. Placing fingers in or around the cutting blades could result in serious personal injury.

Safety Guidelines
WARNING: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in serious injury or death.
Eye Protection
Be sure to use all personal protective equipment to ensure your own safety. To
avoid eye injury, always wear protective glasses with side shields when using power tools. Also, make sure no one else can be injured by flying particles when using power tools.
Fire Hazard
Personal injury or death can result from a fire caused by
flammable liquids or silicone. Cleaners or solvents can be highly explosive, resulting in personal injury or even death, when not used properly. Clean up any flammable substance immediately. Sparks or open flames can cause flammable substances to ignite. DO NOT smoke while working on or near any flammable substance.
Solvents Hazard
Follow all manufacturer’s safety instructions for silicone and denatured alcohol. Alcohol
vapors are both flammable and hazardous to breathe. Silicone vapors may irritate eyes and nose. Personal injury can result from improperly handling or use of products such as denatured alcohol. Always follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for the safe use of these products. Ventilate any work area before beginning to apply silicone, cleaning agents, or solvents.
Fumes Hazard
The fumes from the silicone and solvents used by the installer can be harmful if used in an unventilated
room. Always work in a well-ventilated area.
Power Tool Hazard
To prevent personal injury or possible death, always follow the electrical
safety recommendations of the power tool’s manufacturer. Do not use power tools in an unsafe manner. Power tools should only be connected to a circuit protected by a ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFI).
Shock Hazard
Never use electric power tools around water, condensation, or other
liquids. Electric shock can cause severe burns, significant injuries, and even death. If an extension cord is required, always use an OSHA approved extension cord. Power cords should only be connected to a circuit protected by a ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFI).
Electrical Shock Hazard
Contacting live electrical wiring with
power tools or hand tools can cause
serious injury or death. Make sure all related circuit breakers are turned OFF. Test for live circuits or wiring inside any wall where installation of the Swan product requires cutting into a wall.
Electrocution Hazard
Water and other liquids conduct
electric current and can create a
short circuit, resulting in injury or death. Keep all liquids away from electrical cords and power tools. DO NOT create a short circuit between a source of electricity and a liquid by being in contact with both simultaneously.

General Information
A laundry tub or utility sink can be a useful addition to any home to soak dirty clothes, wash the dog, or clean large, odd-shaped household goods. Our laundry tubs are made from Veritek, which makes them easy to install and maintain. Our Veritek material has no surface coating to chip or crack and will not mold or mildew. The laundry tubs can also be secured to the wall or the floor as a precaution to prevent unwanted tipping.
The installation process is straightforward and most homeowners can easily complete the task. The hardest part of the job, if necessary, may be installing the water lines and drain pipe. Always check local building codes to verify that you, the homeowner, can install the plumbing yourself.
A laundry tub is an easy project to install and requires very few special tools. Followed carefully, these installation instructions will result in an easy, trouble-free installation of your Swan Corporation product. Any deviations, additions, and/or deletions from the prescribed installation, without prior written approval of our Customer Relations Department, will void the warranty covering this product. Not following the directions could also result in personal injuries, water damage, and other damage to floors, pipes, walls, and other portions of your building or home.
