* Due to the concave shape of the model 82, the edge of the tub at the overflow is inset from the corners. Use these measurements when estimating distance from the wall to center of tub or drain. Note: All specifications are subject to change without notice. MTI recommends measuring your specific tub on site. - Page 7 Every MTI air blower is supplied with a 29" grounded plug to be plugged into a grounded receptacle. Do not remove this plug.

Page 18: Cleaning Instructions For The Acrylic Shell
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE ACRYLIC SHELL The cross-linked cast acrylic surface of all MTI air baths and soaking baths is among the glossiest, highest quality surfaces available. Its hard, non-porous surface prevents dirt from accumulating and resists stains bet- ter than other materials. With normal use, cast acrylic will retain its beauty with only a minimal amount of care. -
Page 19: Troubleshooting
Q. My MTI air bath appears to just turn on even if we are not in the tub. A. Each MTI Designer Collection air bath is equipped with a pair of sensors near the drain of the bath. They appear as two small chrome buttons. Every time water is introduced into the bath, even if the air system was not used, the air system will automatically activate approximately 7 minutes after the water has drained out of the tub in order to purge the system of any small droplets of water. - Page 20 Q. How can I get scratches out of my acrylic tub? A. Most scratches can be buffed out using an automotive polish. Any polish suitable for use on "clear coated" automobile paint is fine. Deeper scratches and chips may require the services of a professional acrylic repair technician.
