Introduction:
These instructions are for the installation of a Pacific Recumbent
Height Adjustable Bathing System 7900 Bath Panel and Bath Shell or
Tank. This system is shipped on two pallets. The Pacific Bath Shell or
Tank attaches easily to the Pacific Bath Panel. This system is a height
adjustable tub.
Terminology and Symbols Meanings:
When the terms “left” or “right” are used with reference to the tub, this
means left or right as you look facing the control panel.
Meaning: Safety warning. Failure to understand and obey this
warning may result in injury to you or to others.
Meaning: Failure to follow these instructions
may cause damage to parts or systems.
Note: Refer to the “Pacific Bath Controls” section of this manual, page
6, for the location of any of the controls referenced.
NOTE: It is required that a licensed plumber make all plumbing
connections. He can select the best method of connection and if
Reduced Pressure Zone Backflow Preventers are required.
Drain Requirements:
The Pacific Bath is equipped with a 1½” (inside) diameter flexible
drain tub to enable drain attachment on the floor directly under the
tank or route through the panel frame and attach to a wall drain.
Figure 2 shows two different options for roughing in the drain pipe –
from the floor or from the wall. The rough-in needs to be 1½” (outside
diameter).

Unpacking and Assembling the Pacific Bath
Note: Your Pacific system is shipped in two separate boxes on pallets labeled
Pacific Panel and Tub Shell.
1. Upon receipt of your Pacific System inspect both boxes for externally damaged
and evidence of abuse. If any is observed note it on the packing slip and report
it to the freight company.
2. Take the cardboard box off of both pallets.
3. The tub shell, when removed from the pallet, is light and can be carried from
the pallet into the area of installation. Remove the legs and hardware package
included in the tub shell box.
4. The Panel is left on the pallet until located in the area of installation. This
pallet is 36” wide and will only fit through a 36” door. Move the pallet, with the
Pacific panel on it, to the installation area by using appropriate dollies to avoid
damage to the floor. Figures 10 & 11
IMPORTANT: DO NOT UNCRATE THE
PACIFIC PANEL & TUB SHELL BEFORE
READING THESE INSTRUCTIONS. FAILURE
TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTION
COULD RESULT IN AN INJURY TO THE
INSTALLER OR DAMAGE TO THE PACIFIC SYSTEM.

5. On the Panel pallet, remove the two wooden plates that
secure the panel base to the Pacific pallet and discard.
(See Figure 12 below)
6. Assemble both legs, extending forward, onto the base of the
Pacific panel using the 4 ea. ½-13 bolts included in the
installation kit. You will need a ¾” socket for the bolts.
(See figure 13 & 14 above)

7. With the Pacific Panel still on the pallet, and the legs installed, two
people can easily slide the whole panel forward on the pallet
pulling on the legs until the front of the panel base is flush with the
front edge of the pallet. Then let the legs rest on the floor by
tipping the panel forward. (See figure 15 & 16)
Figure 15 & 16
CAUTION:
Do not slide the panel too far forward on the pallet. Failure to do
so may result in the panel tipping and may damage the unit.
8. You are now ready to remove the Pacific Panel from the Pallet.
You must follow these specific steps to allow the Pacific Panel to
power itself off of the pallet.
WARNING:
Always have two people to ensure the panel stays stable as it is
lowered from the pallet. Failure to follow these instructions could
result in an injury to the installers or damage the Pacific System.

9. Connect power to the Pacific Panel by plugging the temporary cord,
attached to the panel, into a wall outlet (115 volts AC) as shown in
Figure 17 below. Do not use this cord for permanent connection.
Figure 17
10. Now press the “UP” button of the Pacific Panel to slightly raise the
panel about three inches or just above the lowering fixture. Figure 15
11. Insert the wooden lowering fixture, included in the Pacific Panel box,
under the tub shell attachment brackets on the panel. Ensure it is
inserted into to bracket underneath the pin of the bracket as far back
as possible. Then ensure it is straight vertically. See Figure 17 above.
12. You may lower the Pacific Panel by pressing the “DOWN” button
until the tub attachment brackets are only resting on the lowering
fixture then stop. See Figure 17 above.
13. Now with one person standing on the leg extensions, press the
“DOWN” button on the Pacific Panel again until the panel rises off of
the pallet. The second person may then remove the pallet, always
having someone to stabilize the Pacific Panel. The Pacific Panel may
then be lowered to the floor by pressing the “UP” button.
See Figure 18 & 19 on page 12.
WARNING:
There must always be a person standing on the leg extensions at all
times ( to prevent tipping ) until the panel is completely lowered to the
floor. Failure to do so may result in an injury or damage to the
Pacific panel.

elbow on the manifold located on the back of the tub shell and
tighten the 1-1/4” hose clamp.
i. Install the drain hose to the drain of the Pacific tub shell using
provided hose clamp.
j. Carefully route drain line as necessary to the desired drain
location.
k. The drain hose may be cut to a desired length after which the
inside of the extra adapter cuff must have silicone applied and
then screwed onto the cut off end.
l. Hook up the Hot and Cold water supply hoses as marked on
the Pacific Panel.
m. Re-install the tub skirt onto the tub shell with the screws
saved.
