Page 4 of 10 Preparing the Tub 1. Before beginning any work, it is important to inspect the tub for existing chips, markings or other types of damage. If performing the installation on behalf of others, make the resident or property manager aware of any existing damage prior to beginning the installation process. Existing damage may be made worse during the tub cutting process. 2.
Page 5 of 10 FIGURE 1 4. The opening for the CleanCut Convertible is now complete and you can remove the cut-out section. Use caution when removing the cut-out section as there may be sharp or jagged edges both on the cut-out segment and along the edges of where the cuts were made on the sides of the tub. It is helpful to spend a moment to file down any potential hazard areas. This prevents potential snags with fitting the CleanCut convertible and reduces the risk of injury. 5.
Page 6 of 10 1. Take a stack of heavy card stock paper. This is the paper used to trace the cut-out section of the tub onto the CleanCut Convertible. Place the card paper onto the left end and trace the outline of the pattern onto the paper. Once completed, mark this tracing as “Left”, so as to remember which side was traced. It is also helpful to place an arrow on the template to indicate which direction is the inside of the tub. 2. Repeat the process for the right side of the tub.

Use a tape measure and transfer the shape of the inside of the tub edge to the step. Remember that the tub may be narrower in the center, so measurements for the inside line must be made every 3” from one end of the CleanCut Convertible to the other. Once completed, use your yard stick and marker to connect the markings for the inside line (Figure 4) 8.

Use a small pocket mirror and look for areas on the CleanCut Convertible that may be catching and prohibiting it from freefalling onto the tub. Use the jigsaw or drywall plane to trim the CleanCut Convertible where necessary. 12. Continue this process and repeat as necessary until a desirable close fit is achieved.

If working with a concrete sub-floor, thoroughly inspect and clean the floor in the tub cut out channel prior to securing the treated 2x4. Remove any materials from the concrete that may cause an uneven surface. Apply adhesive directly to the concrete floor. Insert the 2x4’s and thoroughly spread the adhesive on the concrete.

Also inspect and make sure that the waterproof wrap is completely covered by the CleanCut Convertible, and trim off any excess wrap. 11. Apply adhesive to the top of the waterproof membrane. Place a substantial bead of adhesive on the top of the tub where the CleanCut Convertible will be seated. Adhesive on the top of the tub reinforces the CleanCut Convertible. 12.
