Installation Procedures - Jacuzzi Fuzion 42x72 Manuel D'installation

English
3. Sufficient clearance must be provided for access to service connections (pump/motor, controls, heater plumbing and
electrical hook ups).
4. Bottom support materials: Casting plaster/plaster of paris (herein referred as foundation materials) are not necessary
but its use is highly recommended for a firmer bottom support. In a bucket, mix foundation material. Place a large
mound of plaster on the subfloor, in the approximate location of the tub bottom center. The mounds should be placed
high enough so that when the tub is set, it will cause the plaster to displace and spread.
Drop-in Installation
1. Prepare the cut-out hole for the bathtub using either the provided full scale
template or the cut-out dimensions listed in the Technical Specifications Manual
found on www.jacuzzi.com/baths/support.
The template may show guides for more than one bathtub. Be certain
to select the appropriate guidelines. If undermounting is an option, be
careful to select the guidelines that apply to the installation that you
are performing.
2. Complete all deck finish work and cover to protect from damage while placing
the bathtub.
3. Place a piece of scrap lumber on each of the ends of the cutout – this will be
used as a temporary support prior to lowering the bathtub fully into the opening
(Figure 8).
4. Install the unit. For units equipped with a motor/pump and/or a blower, insert the motor/pump end first, lowering the
bathtub into the opening (Figure 9).
5. The bathtub must be set level. To check, use a level on top of the ledges on both ends of tub and on top of threshold
(Figure 10).
6. Turn on the power supply to the dedicated GFCI protected circuit and check system for operation.
7. Caulk around the perimeter of bathtub to seal the space between the rim and the finished deck (Figure 11).
