! WARNING
WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT A LICENSED PROFESSIONAL INSTALL THIS SHOWER ENCLOSURE AND INCLUDE THE ASSISTANCE OF A SECOND PERSON TO INSTALL THE DOOR UNIT.
INSTALLATION OF THE SHOWER DOORS BY AN INEXPERIENCED PERSON MAY RESULT IN GLASS BREAKAGE AND, CONSEQUENTLY, CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
-Handle fragile items with care to prevent personal injury or material damage.
-The glass panels are tempered and cannot be cut. Never attempt to do so.
-Always rest glass on a level surface
BEFORE STARTING
Compare items on your invoice with what you have received. Carefully review the Packing List on page 2. If any items are missing contact Vigo Industries at 1-866-591-7792. Please check our website at www.vigoindustries.com for additional information or instructional videos.
REQUIRED TOOLS
Square and/or Phillips #1 and #2 screwdriver
Flat head screwdriver
Electric drill plus 1/32", 3/32", 1/8" and 3/16" drill bit (depending on wall)
Level
Measuring tape
Pencil (non-permanent)
Clear silicone caulking
Utility knife
!WARNING
Handle fragile items with care to prevent injury or material damage.
Glass on panels and doors is tempered glass and must never be cut to prevent personal injury.
IMPORTANT
Fiberglass, acrylic or sheetrock construction might not be sufficiently strong enough to support the shower door enclosure. You should use the wood framing studs from behind the face edge of the stall to provide a secure mounting to the door. Apply a bead of silicone between the walls and base of the stall.
For optimum performance, you should install the shower door perfectly level on a level surface. Failure to do so will lead to water leakage and potential property damage.
When installing use heavy duty gloves.
IMPORTANT:
THE CLEAR GLASS MODEL HAS A REVERSIBLE DOOR AND CAN BE INSTALLED TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT SIDE. (SEE CONFIGURATION DIAGRAM BELOW)

PREPARATION STEPS TO FOLLOW BEFORE INSTALLATION
1.Remove the plastic layer from the base border (if needed). Do NOT remove the plastic layer off the plastic platform of the base.
2.Properly apply silicone to the wall and base joints.
3.Make sure to read corresponding base instructions carefully prior to install on the Vigo Brand Shower Door System. Failure to do so can cause water leakage and bodily harm.
IMPORTANT
To prevent damage to the finish, you should protect the shower cabin bottom with a cardboard protector before beginning the installation.
Ensure that there is sufficient structural support behind the shower wall to hold the weight of the shower door. If there is insufficient support, then reinforce the shower walls with wooden studs prior to shower door installation. [SEE FIG.1]
