CAUTION: Risk of personal injury. This bath is heavy. Obtain sufficient help and use lifting straps to lift or move
the bath.
CAUTION: Risk of property damage. Verify that any factory-installed drain connections have not become loose
during shipping. Tighten as needed to prevent leakage.
Stack together two 6' (1.8 m) lengths of 2x4 lumber. Secure the stacked 2x4s together with nails or screws.
Position the stacked 2x4s on each side of the drain pipe to temporarily support the bath.
With help, use lifting straps to carefully lift the bath into position on the 2x4s so the bath drain is over the drain pipe.
Carefully reposition the bath as needed so the bath drain is directly over the drain pipe.
Use lifting straps and get additional assistance to remove the 2x4 supports and carefully set the bath on the floor.
Adjust the bath position as needed to make sure that the drain pipe is centered in the bath drain hole.
Verify that the bath is level. Install shims as needed.
