INSTALLATION CHECK LIST 1. Upon Receipt: Immediately upon receipt, check for visible freight damage. If damage is found, it must be reported, communicated and documented immediately to the freight company and MasterCare 1-800-798-5867. Proceed to inspect the tub for hidden and concealed damage. Leave the tub on the pallet until ready for installation. If the tub is going to be stored for a period of time before installation, cover it with a tarp to protect it from dust and construction debris. 2. Entree Bath Uncrating Instructions: (Note: Read and follow instructions thoroughly. Refer to the drawing on following page to reference details.) a. Remove the stretch wrap (plastic) from the outside of the crate. b. Remove the ten (10) lag screws from the bottom of the crate (Detail 1). c. Two people will now be required to lift the crate over the top of the Entree Bath. d. Set aside the Entree Gen II Starter Kit box and the Combo Case from the pallet. It is recommended to leave the stretch wrap (plastic) on the Entree Bath until the tub is in its final location. e. Remove the two (2) 10-32 x ¾ thumbscrews from the Entree cover panel (Detail 4). Gently remove the cover panel from the tub. CAUTION: Remove the cover panel before removing the tub from the crate. f. Locate the Tub Power Cord, center rear back of tub, then plug in the tub and close the door halfway by depressing the Door Close button located on the Foot End Control Panel. Locate the two lag screws by looking through the service hole located on the backside of the tub (Detail 3). Proceed to remove the two lag screws; discarding board. g. Remove the four (4) screws from each of the anchoring plates (Detail 2). h. The Entree Bath can now be lifted off of the pallet. Door Open button The Entree Bath is VERY HEAVY. Two people (Minimum) are required to move the Entree Bath. FOOT END CONTROL PANEL i. Position the cover panel onto the front of the Entree Bath and line up the screw holes (Detail 4). Place one of the 10-32 x ¾ thumbscrews into each hole on the cover panel and tighten accordingly. 3. Transfer and Positioning: The tub is shipped with the door in the open position. To transfer, plug the tub into an extension cord and rotate the door to a nearly closed position, by pushing on the Door Close button until the door rotates all the way up and it just starts to cam in. Do not close the door all the way so that the seal is compressed. Leaving the door closed with the seal compressed over a long period of time can damage the seal. The tub may have to be in an open position to get through some doors. After the tub is on-site, leave the special packing around the tub door on until after the tub is installed and ready for its test operation. Check again to make sure the door is not fully closed and compressing the seal. 4. Connect the electrical service to the tub. The tub comes with a cord with a plug, or it can be hard wired with flex watertight conduit by an electrician. (Verify that the tub is properly grounded if rewired). Door Close button Page 5 of 11

Connect a flexible hose to the hot water supply valve. 8. Flush hose into a bucket and verify cold water comes from hose. After flushing, attach tub hose with blue marking. Note: The mixing valve will not perform correctly if those hoses are connected backwards. 9. Make sure the screen is in the hose. 10. Connect a flexible hose to the cold water supply valve. 11. Turn on the hot and cold supply valves slowly and verify there are no leaks. 12. Place the tub in the final desired location and connect the drain tubing as shown in the following figure. Note: The "U" section must be installed "low profile" so that it will clear the tub door when in open position. The reason for the "U" configuration is for ease of disconnection in the event the tub needs to be slid out for service.

MEMO: 1. Parts shown in the top view of this suggested layout are to be supplied by the installing contractor. 2. All drain connecting parts supplied by the contractor must meet National and State Plumbing Codes. 3. If floor sink used, it must be at least three inches in diameter. 4. If rubber coupler does not meet code, use any type of detachable coupler that meets code to allow drain assembly to be uncoupled so tub can be slid out for service. 2 90 PVC Close ST EL 40 1 / 2 " FRONT VIEW Side of Tub Rear Left Tub Leg Support Strap 2" PVC Tub Drain Note: Use a straight 90 PVC elbow to run to a floor drain 1 1 / 4" off to floor Floor Rear Tub Lower Service Panel Tub Drain Valve SIDE VIEW OF DRAIN CAUTION: Plumbing and electrical installations must be clear of the full rotational arc of the door to the back of the tub.

13. Tighten the hose clamps on the rubber couplers. 14. Anchor the tub to the wall in two places with the anchor kit provided in the Entree Gen II Starter Kit box. Select the two stud locations as far apart as possible along the rear wall flange of the tub. Center on each stud using the finishing washer in the kit and hold it just below the black trim seal to mark the anchor hole location. Drill 3/16 holes at the marked locations through the flange only. Anchor tub to wall with the # 10 x 3 SS flat head self tapping anchor screws. You will need a # 2 sq. drill bit for this. If it is a masonry wall, installer is responsible to select appropriate anchors. 15. Proceed to the Gen II Entree Bath Operation Manual. Finishing Washer Anchor Screw Black Trim Seal Tub Wall Flange Wall Stud Tub 16. Go through a bath cycle and verify all functions work correctly. 17. Make sure that when the fill knob is in the hot position, hot water comes out of the valve. Check the water temperature and verify it is in the proper range. Rotate the knob to mid range and verify the temperature "tracks the knob" and reduces accordingly. Note: If the hoses are connected backwards, the mixing valve will not function correctly. 18. Check the GFCI, located under the head end raised panel, and make sure it trips and resets properly. 19. Make sure the tub is grounded according to code. 20.
