A. Drop In Installation

1. Prepare the cutout hole for the bathtub using

the provided template (Figure 4).

NOTE

Please follow the instructions listed on the

template (included) to correctly mark the cutout

hole. The template may show guides for more

than one bathtub, be certain to select the

appropriate guide lines. If under mounting is an

option, be careful to select the guide lines that

apply to the installation that you are performing.

2. Place a piece of scrap lumber on each of the

ends of the cutout – this will be used as a

temporary support prior to lowering the bathtub

fully into the opening (Figure 5).

3. Install the unit, inserting the motor/pump end

a level on top of the ledges on both ends of tub

and on top of threshold (Figure 6).

3. Install a Ledger Strip: Jacuzzi mandates the

use of supports under the rear ledges of

bathtubs to prevent shifting. Use horizontal

ledger strip along the entire rear ledge or “I”,

“T” supports in at least two places in vertical

position. Nail a 1" x 3" x 60" (25mm x 75mm x

1525mm) ledger strip immediately below the

lower marks made on framing (Figure 7 -

inset).
