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.

NOTE: The whirlpool model number is printed on a label near the whirlpool pump. This label also identifies the

electrical rating of the whirlpool.

WARNING: Risk of electrical shock. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, connect the pump to a properly

grounded, grounding type receptacle protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI). Do not remove

the plug's grounding pin. Do not use a grounding adapter.

- Your Kohler whirlpool bath is equipped with a cord and plug. All wiring of the pump and control has been

completed at the factory. A licensed electrician must install a GFCI protected, 120 V, 15 A, grounded outlet. No

other load should be on this circuit. Locate the outlet behind the whirlpool, and within 24" (61cm) of the pump.

- Plug the pump into this outlet.

NOTE: Make sure the air actuator tubing is securely attached to the pump, and is not kinked or damaged.

- Check all electrical connections, and make sure the electrical power to the whirlpool is turned on.

- Make sure all union connections to the pump are securely hand tightened.

- Fill the whirlpool to a level at least 2" (5cm) above the top of the highest jet.

- Operate the whirlpool for 5 minutes, and check all whirlpool piping connections for leaks.
