Securing the side panelAt this point the clear �lm on the bath can be removed and it is recommended the Bath (Part J) is used once. While being used, ensure the Bath (Part J) does not wobble on its legs. This will help to ensure the sealant willnot be pulled away from the wall when the user and the water is in the Bath (Part J). Make sure that after thisuse, the Bath (Part J) is still at the correct height for the side and end panels (if being used). Make sure the Bath(Part J) and adjacent wall are both clean and free from debris and dust. Apply the silicone using a standardsealant gun and smooth using a �nger or the handle of a tea-spoon to get a �ush water-tight �nish.

1. The side and end panels can be installed at this point. The top of the panel will need to be positionedbetween the outside of the Side Panel Top Bracket(Part H) and the edge of the Bath (Part J). (See figure 6.0).

2. The side and/or end panel can then be straightenedup with the top edge of the panel tucked under theedge of the Bath (Part J) and the bottom of thepanel pushed up against the Side Panel Lower Bracket(Part G).(See figure 6.1)
