2. Prepare the Site

NOTICE: Measure your product for site preparation. Note the model number located on the heater side
of the bath, then visit the product page at www.kohler.com for additional information.
NOTICE: Do not attempt to remove the hardened casting material covering the wooden support blocks.
The casting material is required to properly position and install the bath.
IMPORTANT! To ensure a successful installation, install the bath on a level finished floor.
IMPORTANT! Make sure the subfloor offers adequate support for the bath.
Remove and discard the thin plastic film covering the support blocks.
Temporarily position the bath and shroud in the installation location.
Verify that the bath is level. Shim under the shroud if necessary, and secure the shims to the floor.
Carefully lift and remove the bath without moving or shifting the shroud.
Use the drain area cut-out in the shroud to trace the drain-hole area on the floor.
Remove the shroud and set it out of the installation area.
Refer to the bath specification sheet on the bath product page at www.kohler.com to determine any
drain clearance requirements, and cut adequate floor clearance as needed.
Refer to the specification sheet on the bath product page at www.kohler.com for drain height details.
Position and install a standard PVC or brass bath drain pipe to the correct height.
