1. Prepare the Site

CAUTION: Risk of product damage. Do not support the bath by the rim.
NOTICE: Unless otherwise specified, floor support under the bath must provide for a minimum of 80
lbs./square foot (390 kg./square meter) loading.
NOTICE: Provide adequate ventilation and a minimum of 15 cubic feet (.4 cubic meters) in the installed
location for cooling the motor and to supply sufficient air for the blower. Do not install the blower motor
closer than 1" (2.5 cm) from the wall or other objects.
Make sure the floor offers adequate support for your bath, and verify that the subfloor is flat and
level.
Construct 2x4 or 2x6 stud framing designed for your particular installation.
Install an access panel to allow the blower motor to be serviced.
Position the plumbing according to the roughing-in information packed. Cap the supplies, and
