Important: Read complete instructions before beginning installation.
Remove the unit carefully from the carton. Retain the shipping carton until satisfactory inspection of the product has
been made. Lay out and identify all parts using the installation instructions as reference. Check the carton for small
hardware bags that tend to fall to the bottom of the carton.
Handle the glass panels carefully and protect the edges. Safety tempered glass is very resistant to breakage, but
it can be broken by banging the edges against a hard surface. Do not remove any protective devices until you are
ready to install the glass panels as the sharp corners of the panels can damage tile and floor surfaces.
Wear safety glasses whenever drilling or cutting. When drilling holes in ceramic tile or marble, use a center punch
and hammer to carefully break the surface glaze so the drill can start without skidding.
Tools required: Tape measure, Level, #2 Phillips screwdriver, flat bladed screwdriver, drill and 1/8", 7/32" drill bits
and a hacksaw.
Step 1
Measure the wall to wall opening along the center of
the bath rim. Use a hacksaw to cut the bath track 1/16"
short of this dimension. Note: On some installations it
may be necessary to file the ends of the track to match
the wall conditions.
