1. Préparer le site
AVIS : Se référer au guide de raccordement emballé avec la baignoire à hydromassage pour la charge de
support de sol minimum requis lb/pied carré (kg/mètre carré).
S’assurer que le sol constitue un support adéquat pour la baignoire à hydromassage et que le
plancher soit plat et nivelé.
Construire un cadre de support de 2x4 ou de 2x6 pour l’installation encastrée.
AVIS : La baignoire à hydromassage doit être supportée par ses pieds ou la base. Ne pas supporter le
poids de charge de la baignoire à hydromassage par le périmètre du rebord.
Pour une installation surélevée : Encadrer le plancher ou construire un cadre conforme aux
informations du plan de raccordement qui accompagne la baignoire à hydromassage.
Disposer et découper soigneusement le matériau du comptoir brut. Employer le gabarit s’il est
fourni, ou se référer au guide de raccordement pour l’information de découpe.
Déterminer l’emplacement de la plomberie selon le plan de raccordement fourni. Boucher les
alimentations et vérifier s’il y a des fuites.
2. Préparer la baignoire à hydromassage
Installer le drain sur la baignoire à hydromassage selon les instructions du fabricant. Ne pas
connecter le siphon à ce moment.
Placer un chiffon propre ou matière similaire à la base de la baignoire à hydromassage. S’assurer de
ne pas rayer la surface de la baignoire à hydromassage.
3. Débrancher la pompe
REMARQUE : Pour cette installation, aucune découpe du harnais (tuyauterie) de la baignoire à
hydromassage n’est nécessaire. Toute découpe du harnais annulera la garantie.
Déconnecter la pompe et le chauffe-eau (si présents) de l’emplacement d’expédition en coupant les
deux sangles de retenue avec une cisaille de ferblantier.
Mettre la pompe et le chauffe-eau (si présentes) de côté.
Relocaliser le chauffe-eau et la pompe (si équipé) à côté des connexions d’alimentation/évacuation
sur mesure du harnais de la baignoire à hydromassage. Il se peut que la pompe dépasse le rebord
de baignoire. Voir les détails du plan de raccordement.
