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.

5. Handrail installation(only for bath with handrail):
Open the bathtub handrail installation screws pack
1329702. Insert the 1329706 rivet into the handrail
hole. Place the 1329705 spring washer on the
1329703 hexagon socket screw. Use the 1329707
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.

3. Wood base installation and drainage pipe insertion: 4
people should stand still and raise the cast iron while
another person places the wood base directly
beneath the bathtub. Insert the drainage pipe pulled
from the drainage into the drainage hole of the
bathroom and quickly seal it with silicone. The other
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.
