CAUTION: Risk of product damage. Do not lift or support the overflowing bath by the pump or
piping.
NOTE: Do not use adhesive or a cement or mortar bed to secure this product to the subfloor.
With help, carefully lift the overflowing bath into place. Using metal plates under the adjustable feet
is recommended and will make leveling the bath easier.
NOTE: If you do not have a 4' (1.2 m) level, go to the next section.
Level by turning the adjustable feet up or down with the wrench (7/8") attached to the harness near
the pump. Make sure all four adjustable feet rest directly on the subfloor, and make sure the bathing
well rim is level within 1/8" (3 mm) in all directions.
After the overflowing bath is level, adjust the leveling foot located underneath the pump. Turn the
foot until it rests directly on the subfloor. Use an accurate 4' (1.2 m) level, if available. Taking the
time to carefully level the overflowing bath now minimizes the need to make leveling adjustments
later in the installation.
Cut and discard the banding straps from the pump.
Make sure the rubber isolation feet are in place.
Insert the drain tailpiece into the trap.
