Installation and Operational

Installation

Read all instructions before installing tub. MTI recommends using a professional installer for this product. Installer/product owner is
responsible for complying with all state and local codes.
This tub has been water tested at the factory and found to be fully operational and leak-free prior to shipping. Freight, handling and
job site exposure may have deteriorated the tub's condition. It is the responsibility of the receiver to perform a thorough inspection of
the product upon receipt and the installer to thoroughly test the unit for proper operation and leak detection prior to final installation and
enclosure of the surrounding areas. Failure to do so will void warranty. Warranty coverage will be void if unit is not tested and installed
per the enclosed instructions.
NOTICE: Proper waste and overflow installation is the responsibility of the installer.
MTI does not warrant leaks associated with improper drain or valve installation.
Inspect Product Thoroughly
• Damage from shipping or delivery must be reported to carrier immediately. DO NOT install damaged tub. MTI is not responsible for
damage occurring during transit.
• Factory defect must be reported to factory before tub is installed. Defects or damage claimed after installation will be excluded from
warranty.
• Ensure installation location is structurally sound, flat and level. Measure tub on site carefully. See individual specification sheets for tub
weight and water capacity. Specifications are subject to change without notice. MTI is NOT responsible for any preparatory labor or
materials.
• NOTE: Variations in resin/fiberglass thickness on the underside of the bath are not considered defects and do not affect the
performance, integrity or quality of the bath.
• Certain cleaning products will permanently damage the bath surface. Please see "Care and Cleaning Instructions" on pg. 27.
DO NOT store tub in temperatures below 32 Fahrenheit.
• Damage, including chips and scratches incurred at the job site are excluded from warranty, but may be repaired by a qualified
technician at the owner's expense. Always protect the tub from construction damage by using a protective cover. DO NOT stand or
store materials in the tub during construction. Tubs are warrantied for indoor installation and use in a climate controlled environment
only. Tubs are not warrantied for steam room or steam shower applications.
Test Procedures
1. Place the tub on a flat and level surface.
2. Seal the drain with tape.
3. Fill tub to overflow and let stand for five minutes without the motor(s) running. NOTE: DO NOT, under any circumstances, tape off
or block the overflow in any way during water testing. Any controls located above the normal water line are designed to be water-
resistant, not water-proof. The controls will not leak under normal usage, however, they are not warranted against leaks when
improperly used or subjected to conditions for which they were not designed.
4. Plug in the motor(s) and any other components into a 110v GFCI outlet. Start the equipment and check for leaks by examining the area
underneath and surrounding the tub.
5. Check that all optional equipment is functioning properly and that the features on the tub match exactly what was ordered. Operation
instructions for each system may be found on pgs. 16–23.
6. If any leaks or operating problems are discovered, DO NOT complete installation until problems are resolved. MTI will not be
responsible for leaks claimed after the tub is installed, nor any costs involved with removing or reinstalling the tub.
