NOTICE: Do not lift the bath by the piping or blower, or use the piping or blower for structural support
of the bath. To avoid damage to the bath, lift by the rim at the sides of the bath.
NOTICE: Ensure the subfloor is level before proceeding. Use shims as needed.
Secure the bath using one of the following two methods.

Press the bath into the cement or mortar bed, leaving a 1/16 (2 mm) gap between the deck and the
