When installing the pump, make sure
to remove the plugs from the inlet and
outlet piping.
O-Rings
6. Relocate and Mount the Pump
Relocate the pump and in-line heater (if equipped) next to the customized inlet and outlet
connections of the whirlpool harness. The pump may extend beyond the rim of the whirlpool.
Remove all protective packaging from around the whirlpool harness. Cut only those cable ties
supporting the union nuts.
Remove the plugs from the pump inlet and outlet openings. Install the O-rings into the grooves on
the inlet and outlet connector fittings.
Set the pump on the support bracket.
Thread the plastic inlet and outlet attachment nuts onto the pump until the O-rings make initial
contact.
Tighten each nut a quarter turn after initial contact. Do not overtighten these nuts.
NOTE: Do not shim the pump more than 1/2" (1.3 cm). Raising the pump too high will prevent the pump
from priming properly.
Make sure the whirlpool harness inlet piping (suction line) is pitched downward from the pump
toward the suction fitting. This is important so the pump will drain water properly. Shim the pump
if necessary to promote proper drainage.
Secure the pump support bracket with four screws or lag bolts (not provided).
Connect the air actuator tubing to the air switch on the pump.
