Very Important Instructions
IMPORTANT!
Most Common Installation Mistake
Do not cut the top and bottom track the same
length for this installation.
Please read these installation instructions
carefully before cutting the top and bottom
track.
If uncertain about cutting tracks, please contact
a customer service representative using
the phone number on the last page
of this document.
1015439-2-D 4 Kohler Co.

1. Measure and Cut the Bottom Track
WARNING: Risk of personal injury. Always wear safety glasses when cutting materials.
NOTICE: Risk of product damage. Do not cut the top track at this time. The top track dimension is not
the same as the bottom track.
IMPORTANT! If your shower has a curve in the corners where they meet the sidewalls, be sure to
measure from wall to wall above the curves. Failure to measure above the curve or angle could result in
the bottom track being cut too short.
Measure from wall to wall at the flattest part of the shower ledge (dimension ″D″).
Mark dimension ″D″on the bottom track.
IMPORTANT! For best results, use a 32-teeth hacksaw blade and a miter box to cut the bottom track.
On the end opposite the mark, align the end of the insert flush with the end of the bottom track.
Subtract 1-1/8″(2.9 cm) from dimension ″D″and cut the bottom track to this dimension.
File the rough edges smooth where the bottom track was cut, taking care not to mar the finished
surface.
NOTE: If there are curves where the sidewalls meet the threshold, use a file to contour the bottom track
edges to match the curves as necessary.

2. Locate the Bottom Track
NOTE: The bottom track must sit flat. If the bath/shower ledge has a curve in the corners or is
constructed of fiberglass, it may be necessary to shape the ends of the track with a file.
Place the bottom track on the flattest part of the bath/shower ledge with the leg toward the outside
of the shower.
Position the bottom track so there is an equal gap between each wall and the ends of the bottom
track.
Temporarily secure the bottom track to the ledge with masking tape.
Mark the ledge along the front edge of the bottom track with a soft pencil.
1015439-2-D 6 Kohler Co.

3. Mark the Wall Jamb Locations
Position a wall jamb against the wall directly over the bottom track. The wall jamb should sit flat
against the wall.
Slide the wall jamb down over the bottom track until the wall jamb and bottom track are fully
engaged.
NOTE: The wall jamb must sit flat on the bottom ledge. If your ledge has a curve in the corners at the side
wall, it may be necessary to shape the bottom end of the wall jamb with a file.
Use a level to plumb the wall jamb vertically.
Using the pre-drilled screw holes as a guide, mark the hole locations on the wall.
Repeat the procedures with the second wall jamb.
Remove the bottom track and wall jambs.
NOTE: When installing on ceramic tile, use a center punch to nick the surface of the glaze. Tap the center
punch lightly with a hammer to avoid cracking the tile.
Lightly center punch the hole locations.
Drill a 5/16″hole at each mark. Use a tile or masonry bit for ceramic tile.
Press and hold the legs of each anchor (provided) together and insert the anchor legs into the
pre-drilled mounting holes.
Repeat for all the anchors.
Thoroughly clean the shower floor ledge and wall.

9. Install the Door Handles
WARNING: Handles use a strong adhesive to ensure lasting performance. Once handles are placed,
any adjustments to their position must be made immediately (within 20 seconds). You will not be
able to remove handles by hand after 20 seconds.
The inside panel is installed on the showerhead side of the bath or shower.
Find the position of the door handle by locating the center point of each door panel on the side of
the door that the handle will be installed. For bath door K-704410, measure 27-1/2″(69.9 cm) from
the top of each panel. For shower doors K-704412 and K-704414, measure 33-1/2″(85.1 cm) from the
top of each panel. Mark the edge of the door panel with a pencil.
Fold the template and slide it onto the door. The pencil mark should be visible through the small
cutout in the middle of the template. For precise placement, align the center of the mark with the
arrows next to the window on the template.
Peel off the tape liners on the back of the template and press it against the glass until it is firmly
secured.
Use the supplied alcohol cloth to clean the visible glass in the cutout. Peel off the tape liner on the
handle.

10. Install the Door Panels
NOTE: Perform these installation steps from outside the bath/shower.
IMPORTANT! Risk of product damage and personal injury. It is critical the bumpers prevent direct
contact between the door panel and the metal frame. If the door panel makes direct contact it will result in
breakage of the glass and bodily harm.
NOTICE: Risk of product damage. For the protection of your bath unit, use a drop cloth or similar
material as a protective cover during these steps.

Install the Door Panels (cont.)
If both door panels operate smoothly, perform the ″Confirm Panel Alignment″instructions later in
this section.
If one of the door panels does not operate smoothly, remove it and make sure there is no debris or
rough areas on the rails inside the top track.
If no debris or rough areas are found, adjustment is required.
If adjustment is required, determine if the door panel should be raised or lowered.
Remove the door panel from the top track.
Adjust the rollers by loosening the roller screw and moving the roller in the to a different hole.
To adjust the door panel higher, move the rollers lower.
To adjust the door panel lower, move the rollers higher.
Reinstall the door panel.
Repeat if necessary.
Confirm Panel Alignment
NOTE: The edge of each door panel must touch the bumpers before coming in contact with the wall
jambs. If the door panels do not touch the bumpers first, the wall is not plumb and the door panel needs
to be adjusted.
Check to be certain that the door panel is plumb with the wall and the door panels come in contact
with the bumpers, not the wall jamb.
If adjustment is required, determine whether the top or bottom of the door panel is closer to the
wall.
Remove the door panel from the top track and adjust the roller on the side of the door panel closest
to the wall.
Adjust the rollers by loosening the roller screw and moving the roller to a different hole.
If the bottom of the door panel on the side being adjusted is farther away from the wall than the
top of the panel, raise the roller.
If the top of the panel is farther away from the wall than the bottom of the panel, lower the roller.
Reinstall the door panel.
Repeat if necessary.

Instructions très importantes.
IMPORTANT!
L'erreur la plus commune d'installation
Ne pas couper le rail supérieur et inférieur à la
même longueur pour cette installation.
Veuillez s'il vous plaît lire avec attention ces
instructions d'installation avant de couper le rail
supérieur et inférieur.
Si la manière de découper les rails n'est pas
très claire, contacter un représentant du
service à la clientèle en appelant le numéro
fourni sur la page arrière de ce document.
Kohler Co. Français-3 1015439-2-D

1. Mesurer et couper le rail inférieur
AVERTISSEMENT: Risque de blessures corporelles. Porter des lunettes de protection lors de la
découpe des matériaux.
AVIS: Risque d’endommagement du produit. Ne pas couper le rail supérieur à ce moment. La dimension
du rail supérieur n’est pas la même que le rail inférieur.
IMPORTANT! Si la douche à des coins arrondis au niveau des murs latéraux, mesurer d’un mur à l’autre
au-dessus des coins, sinon, le rail inférieur risquerait d’être trop court.
Mesurer d’un mur à l’autre à la partie la plus plate du rebord de la douche (dimension ″D″).
Marquer la dimension ″D″sur le rail inférieur.
IMPORTANT! Pour de meilleurs résultats, utiliser une scie à métaux à 32 dents et une boîte à onglets
pour couper le rail inférieur.
A l’extrémité opposée à la marque, aligner l’extrémité de l’insertion à égalité avec l’extrémité du rail
inférieur.
Soustraire 1-1/8″(2,9 cm) à la dimension ″D″et couper le rail inférieur à cette dimension.
Limer les rebords rugueux à l’endroit de découpe du rail inférieur en évitant d’endommager la
surface finie.
REMARQUE: S’il y a des courbes à la rencontre des parois latérales et du seuil, utiliser une lime pour
former les rebords de rail inférieur en conséquence.
