INSTALLATION GUIDE
ATTENTION
BEFORE STARTING
Our products are carefully inspected and packaged in our warehouse for shipping. Only remove the protec-tive film at the very end of the installation to ensure maximum protection. (Except where bathtub surface will be in permanent contact with another surface (I.E., Wall / faucet, etc)). It is very important that you carefully inspect the product before installation. If a product is defective, please contact the company before installation. The installer will be held responsible for any breakage or damages following the use of a defective product. To protect the unit during installation, place a cardboard in the bottom of the bathtub. Verify that the bathroom floor is leveled and strong enough to support a minimum weight of 1500 Ibs, reinforce the existing flooring if needed. It is IMPORTANT to verify the drain location (it can be place of the left, middle of right) before drilling a hole in the floor. It is important to provide an access near the plumbing, pump and/or control boxes allowing to easily disassemble and/or repair these components. The whirpool/Therapeutic systems must be connected before the final installation. (see the installation and user’s guide for whirpool/therapeutic system).
