Carefully uncrate and inspect your new bath for any shipping damage. If such damage is found, report it to your vendor immediately.

After inspection and during installation, protect the bath from construction damage. After installation, and before enclosing with wallboard, tile, etc., water test the unit and check for leaks.

Do not make modifications to the whirlpool system or remove pump from factory mounting. This could adversely affect the safety and performance of the whirlpool and void the warranty. Do not handle or move the whirlpool by the pump, motor, or piping system.

Fittings (bath filler, shower arm, etc.) are not provided with the bath and must be ordered separately. Framing and enclosing materials are provided by others. Check for availability of optional American Standard wall tiling bead (required for recess installations).

Protect all finished surfaces of the whirlpool during construction and installation using a drop cloth.

WARNING! Do not lift whirlpool by the piping harness at any time.
