NOTICE: For baths with apron braces:

Lift the bath at multiple points on its sides

when moving the bath into position. Do not lift the or move the bath by the apron or

NOTICE:

Squeaking may develop if the bath is installed over a subfloor other than

plywood. In order to prevent squeaking, place a pad between the bath and the

subfloor and positioned under the bath supports. We recommend that the pad be

made of spun bonded polypropylene landscape fabric or spun bonded house wrap

material. Do not use roofing felt.

Position the pad under the bath supports.
Position and adjust the bath until its outside edge is flush with the framing.
Verify that the bath is level and well supported by the subfloor.
If the bath is not level, shim using metal, hardwood, or other durable material.

Reposition and shim the bath until it is aligned with the framing and level.
If decreased movement is desired, consider installing an optional mortar cement

bed.

If a mortar cement bed will be installed, the pad is not required.
