5. Cut the Pump Banding Straps — Models With Support Blocks

NOTE: For models with a whirlpool base, proceed to the next section.

IMPORTANT! This step is necessary to make your Kohler whirlpool operate more quietly.

NOTE: Do not raise the pump higher than it was before you cut the pump banding straps. If the pump is

raised too high, it will not prime properly.

Use tin snips to cut the two pump banding straps. When the banding straps are cut, the pump support

bracket and pump will drop about 1/2" (1.3cm) until they rest on the subﬂoor. If the pump drops more

than 1/2" (1.3cm), shim under the pump support bracket so there is a 1/2" (1.3cm) gap between the pump

and bracket to allow for proper drainage.

To minimize whirlpool noise and vibration, be sure the pump is not in direct contact with the shipping

bracket after the pump banding straps are cut.

Secure the pump support bracket to the subﬂoor with screws or lag bolts (not provided).

CAUTION: Risk of property damage. Ensure a watertight seal on the whirlpool drain.

Connect the drain to the trap according to the drain manufacturer's instructions.

NOTICE: An access panel will simplify future maintenance.

Install the faucet valving according to the faucet manufacturer's instructions. Do not install the faucet trim

until instructed. Open the hot and cold water supplies, and check the supply connections for leakage.

Run water into the whirlpool, and check the drain connections for leakage.
