1. Make sure the floor is as flat as possible when

choosing the position for installing the bathtub

(uneven floor or tiles could affect the overall

installation). Place the cast iron bathtub at a tilt or

place the bottom on top (at least 2-3 people required;

please be careful) and following instructions in the

following figure to adjust the supports. Adjust the

screws so that the bottom of the bathtub is 105mm

from the floor. Use the same method to install other

adjustable supports. (The height adjustment is for

facilitating follow-on installation of the wood base and

it is suitable for flat surfaces.)

2. After the supports are adjusted, return the cast iron

bathtub to its normal position with the bottom facing

down as illustrated in the following figure. Shake the

cast iron bathtub to verify whether the four supports

are even. If the bathtub is shakable, it means that the

floor is not sufficiently even. You can use a wrench to

adjust 1 screw with the highest deviation so that the

four supports are placed on the floor.

Install and tighten the bathtub water drain and pull

out the drainage pipe.

hexagon socket wrench to fasten the countersunk

head screw onto handrail 1148886. (Make sure the

screw tightens the 1329705 spring washer to prevent

handrail from becoming loose). Finally, insert the

plastic lid 1329704 into the handrail.

(Attention: Please make sure the screw is tightened

and the handrail is not loose. If maintenance is

required after the plastic lid is inserted, please use a

spare plastic lid.

4 people should slowly put down the bathtub and

prevent the bathtub from falling and damaging the

wood base. Fit the bathtub on the wood base.

4. Overflow plate installation: The 4 people should

stand still and lift the bathtub slightly to place the

positioning pin of the U-shape overflow plate into the

positioning hole on the bottom of the bathtub. Lower

the bathtub gently and just an M6 screw to fasten the

overflow plate to the bathtub.
