PREPARING THE BATH.
Make sure that the top of the bath is level at 520 mm (Honolulu) and
542 mm (Bali N) enabling the side panel to be fitted as explained
in the Installation Manual.
If necessary, adjust the bath's feet to make it level.
The bath must be correctly installed, in line with the instructions
given in its Installation Manual, before starting to fit the side panel.
If in doubt about how to install the bath, consult that manual.
CHECKING THE PANEL'S SUPPORT UNITS
Check that the two support units are in the box, with everything
fitted on them and the lock nuts fully tightened.
If you find that the support units have been disassembled, contrary
to this manual, and you thus have to start with loose components,
assemble them as shown in those figures (fig. 1). It is very important
to fit all the washers and the various parts in the right position, and
to tighten up all the nuts securely.
PRE-FITTING THE PANEL AND MARKING THE GUIDE-
LINES
Unpack the panel and fit it in its proper place on the side of the bath,
with its upper edge resting on the inside edge of the bath (fig. 2).
Mark the floor along the bottom outside edge of the panel – that
line will later be used as the reference line for finding the correct
position for the blocks that hold the panel in place, which have to
be 5 mm away from it.
Then mark the position of the two drill-holes in the front.
Lastly, mark the walls of the bathroom along the edges of the panel
where it meets the walls.
ASSEMBLY THE SIDE SUPPORTS
Place the wooden hells in each wall, as it is indicated in the figure
3.
Be careful to fit the piece of wood in such a way that it makes the
correct angle for fitting the panel.
ASSEMBLY THE FRONT SUPPORTS
A. Bath with levelling crosspieces
The support units, wich are aupplied fully assembled and with all
its nuts tightened up, is a rigid unit that is easy to work with.
Following fig. 4, fit this unit by inserting the slotted horizontal su-
pport onto the rod of the M10 foot, between the washer and the
box-section tube of the cross-member used for levelling.
Please note!: Before inserting the slot directly onto the rod, the top
end of the unit must be fitted by ajusting the threaded rod to press
against the inside edge of the bath together with its positioning
crown. This can be done easily by turning the whole unit around and
fitting the slotted part when the top of the support is in place.
Adjust the rods so that the black block is to the front of the mark
for the front drill hole that you made on the floor.
The system for fitting the panel is detailed in the sketch below
(Fig.6). Adjust the blocks by turning them so that the panel is left
upright, with the panel drill holes in line with the corresponding
block. Then tighten up the lock nut.
Screw the wooden hells to the wall.

B. Bath with lateral wings
Offer up the skirt and mark the projection of the anchoring holes
on the floor. (Fig. 5)
Screw the wooden blocks to the wall D and to the floor E.(Fig. 5).
ASSEMBLY THE PANEL
Place those «clips» C in the panel border so that they are faced
to the two rods of the bath. They can move, hitting smoothly with
a hammer.
Before fixing each panel finally in place, it is very important to insert
wedges between the floor and the panel to push the panel firmly
up against the edge of the bath. When it is, secure the panel with
the washers, screws and caps shown.
If the bath is built into the wall surfacing and you want the panel to
go outside it, cut the panel along the edge that meets the wall just
enough to leave that edge away from the wall finishing. Use a fine-
toothed saw, and sand down afterwards to remove any burrs.
Then finish off the wall tiling.
The joint between the bathroom wall and the bath must then be
sealed. An ordinary alcohol-based silicone sealent is suitable for
this purpose.
