CAUTION

2 PEOPLE ARE REQUIRED TO LIFT AND DURING ENTIRE INSTALLATION OF THIS PRODUCT

Carefully, remove the tub from its crate/box. Important Note: The bathtub must be carried by a minimum of 2 adult people in upside-down position only. Do not carry the bathtub by its panel  To avoid scratches or damages to the bathtub be sure to set it on cardboard with a soft blanket on top of the cardboard.

Set your bathtub on two: 4×4 pieces of lumber so you can have access from the bottom of the bathtub. Put a tray beneath the bathtub. Very Important! Before proceeding with installation, please check that push scupper plug, drain, and integrated overflow are properly sealed and tightened. Push the scupper plug into a close position and fill the bathtub with cold water above the overflow level to test for over- flow leakage and drain leakage. Check for any leaks around the drain and pipe.

(NOTE: Due to surface tension, it is normal for a small amount of water to pool around the drain) If a leakage occurs please disassemble the drain line or overflow.
