Before You Begin
NOTICE: Risk of personal injury. Handle the bath and frame carefully. Some edges may be sharp or
rough.
NOTICE: Risk of product damage. Handle the bath and frame carefully. The bath will break or
malfunction if handled carelessly.
NOTICE: Risk of product damage. Do not lift the bath by the blower motor or use the blower motor for
structural support of the bath.
NOTICE: Risk of product damage. Do not support the weight of the bath by the perimeter of the rim. To
avoid damage to the product, support the bath by its base or feet.
NOTICE: Risk of product damage and personal injury. Due to the weight and installation difficulty of the
product, it is recommended that two people perform this installation. There are several installation
sequences that are very difficult if performed alone.
IMPORTANT! Use care when removing screws. All screws will be reused. Do not strip the heads.
IMPORTANT! Do not cut or remove any cable ties unless instructed. They are used to hold critical parts
in place, and are designed to stay in place throughout the installation.
IMPORTANT! If the installation site is in an area where frequent or prolonged power outages occur, it is
recommended that a minimum 350 VA Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) be installed as a backup
power source for the power to the door. The UPS will ensure that door functionality is not compromised
in the event of a power outage. A UPS is not required for the blower.
Follow all local plumbing and electrical codes.
Depending on the installation, it may be necessary to separate the bath from the frame to pass
through all doorways, hallways, and stairways between the staging area and the bathroom. There
will be several points in this installation where the installer will be asked if further disassembly
is required.
IMPORTANT! Save all hardware. If disassembly is required, save and organize all hardware. Hardware
will be reused unless specified otherwise.
There are supplemental installation instructions located on the back of the access panel.
This bath requires three drains with separate P-traps. Allow for three drains in your installation.
An optional accessories kit is available for relocating the blower motor. Refer to the back cover
for contact information if this kit is desired but was not ordered. If relocating the blower motor,
follow the instructions that came with the kit while performing this installation.
The installation instructions outline the only parts that need to be removed or disassembled during
the installation process. Although many parts may appear to be removable, do not disassemble
anything unless instructed.
Unpack the bath in an open area.
Inspect the unit for damage and make sure extra parts such as counterweights, access panel, and
trim caps are accounted for. The unit shown in this manual has a left drain and may appear
different than the unit you have purchased.
