Before You Begin

NOTICE: Risk of personal injury. Handle the bath and frame carefully. Some edges may be sharp or
rough.
NOTICE: Risk of product damage. Handle the bath and frame carefully. The bath will break or
malfunction if handled carelessly.
NOTICE: Risk of product damage. Do not support the weight of the bath by the perimeter of the rim. To
avoid damage to the product, support the bath by its base or feet.
NOTICE: Risk of product damage and personal injury. Due to the weight and installation difficulty of
the product, Kohler Co. recommends that two people perform this installation. There are several
installation sequences that are very difficult if performed alone.
IMPORTANT! Use care when removing screws. All screws will be reused unless otherwise indicated. Do
not strip the heads.
IMPORTANT! Do not cut or remove any cable ties unless instructed. They are used to hold critical parts
in place, and are designed to stay in place throughout the installation.
IMPORTANT! If the installation site is in an area where frequent or prolonged power outages occur,
Kohler Co. recommends that a minimum 350 VA Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) be installed as a
backup power source to the bath controller. The UPS will ensure that door functionality is not
compromised in the event of a power outage.
Follow all local plumbing and electrical codes.
Depending on the installation, it may be necessary to disassemble parts of the bath to pass
through all doorways, hallways, and stairways between the staging area and the bathroom. There
will be several points in this installation where the installer will be asked if further disassembly
is required. All adjustments have been made at the factory. Installation time is less for jobs
requiring little or no disassembly.
IMPORTANT! Save all hardware. If disassembly is required, save and organize all hardware. Hardware
will be reused unless otherwise specified.
There are supplemental installation instructions located on the back of the access panel.
This bath requires three drains with separate P-traps. Allow for three drains connecting at the
stack in your installation.
The installation instructions outline the only parts that need to be removed or disassembled during
the installation process. Although many parts may appear to be removable, do not disassemble
anything unless instructed.
Unpack the bath in an open area.
Inspect the unit for damage and make sure parts such as counterweights, access panel, and trim
caps are accounted for. The unit shown in this manual has a left-hand drain and may appear
different than the unit you have purchased.
