1. Finish Frame
a. Construct a nish frame under the bath rim to support the
bath lip and keep the bath deck level, which will assist
any water draining from the deck of the bath into the
well of the bath. This frame is not intended to support
the full bath weight.
If a lateral skirt is to be used on the bath, the bath deck must
beleveledat the correctclearancefrom the supportfoundation
(ooring) depending on the model, or the skirt will not t

Apply 100% Silicone with water resistant properties
between the water resistant backer board and the deck
of the bath. See Figure 1.

Warning: Avoid high humidity levels in your home. Mold, mildew,
fungi, and bacteria which may be harmful to health thrive in areas with
continued high humidity levels; therefore, every precaution should
be taken to make sure your plumbing xtures including bathtubs,
therapy baths or showers do not become a source of high humidity

Bath System Cleaner or a glass cleaner) and a soft, wet cloth
or sponge. Do not allow the cleaning solution to soak against
the acrylic surface for long periods of time. Rinse the bath
thoroughly after cleaning.
ACRYLIC SURFACE MAINTENANCE
Areas with minor scratches or dull surfaces can be restored
by applying commercially available plastic polish (i.e. Novus
Plastic Polish No. 2, available from a Jason dealer), followed
by an application of acrylic paste wax. Buff the surface with
a clean soft cloth.
CAUTION: Do not use sandpaper, steel wool, or abrasive rubbing
compounds.
If scratches are too deep to rub out, or if the damage penetrates
the acrylic surface, consult the dealer for recommendations
on surface repair.

When contacting the dealer or service representative,
always have the serial number, proof of purchase, and
model number available. This will insure a quick response
on warranty items. The serial number can be found on the
front page of this manual or on the small card adhered to
the back of the bath. ALL WARRANTY REPAIRS MUST BE
AUTHORIZED BY THE MANUFACTURER BEFORE WORK IS STARTED.
CLEANING
1. Remove all loose debris. Construction plaster or excess grout
can be removed with the use of a wooden-edged trowel.
2. Paint or tar stains can be removed with paint thinner,
turpentine, or isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol). Never
allow the cleaner to soak against the acrylic surface for
long periods of time. Always rinse the surface immediately
following the use of cleaners.
NOTE: Follow the manufacturers instructions for safe use
of cleaning products. If the surface becomes scratched
or dulled, it may be restored by using a quality plastic
polish, like Novus Plastic Polish No. 2 (available from
the Jason Dealer). It is always preferable to protect the
acrylic surface during installation to minimize cleanup and
prevent surface damage.

READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
DANGER: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY FOLLOW THESE PRECAUTIONS:
A. Do not permit children to use this product unless they are closely supervised at all times.
B. Use this unit only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use attachments not recommended by the
manufacturer.
C. The water in a bath should never exceed 40°C (104°F). Water temperatures between 38°C (100°F) and 40°C (104°F)
are considered safe for a healthy adult. Use time should be limited to approximately 30 minutes, followed by a shower
to cool down. Longer exposures may result in hyperthermia. The symptoms of this condition are nausea, dizziness,
and fainting, and it can be fatal. Lower water temperatures are recommended for extended use (exceeding 10 -15
minutes) and for young children.
D. Since excessive water temperatures have a high potential for causing fetal damage during the early months of preg-
nancy, pregnant or possibly pregnant women should limit bath water temperatures to 38°C (100°F).
E. The use of drugs or alcoholic beverages before or during bath use may lead to unconsciousness with the possibil-

F. Persons with a medical history of heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory system problems, or diabetes
should consult a physician before using a soaking bath.
G. Persons using medication should consult a physician before using a soaking bath since some medication may induce
drowsiness while other medication may affect heart rate, blood pressure, and circulation.
