Install to permit access for servicing.

A pressure wire connector marked ″Earth/Ground″is provided within the wiring compartment. To reduce

the risk of electric shock, connect this connector to the grounding terminal of your electric service or supply

panel with copper wire equivalent in size to the circuit conductor supplying this equipment.

A pressure wire connector is provided on the exterior of the pump or control within this unit to permit

connection of a bonding conductor between this unit and all the other exposed metal in the vicinity, as

needed to comply with local requirements.

Grounding is required. The unit should be installed by a qualiﬁed service representative, and grounded.

WARNING: Risk of injury or property damage. Please read all instructions thoroughly before

beginning installation, including the following requirements.

WARNING: Risk of electric shock. A qualiﬁed electrician should make all electrical connections.

NOTICE: Follow all local plumbing and electrical codes. In Canada, install this unit in accordance with

the Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1.

*Outside North America, this device may be known as a Residual Current Device (RCD).

Product Information

Electrical Requirements

The installation must have a Class A Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter (GFCI)*. The GFCI protects against

line-to-ground shock hazard. Use a 120 V, 15 A, 60 Hz dedicated service for the bath.

If the blower supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly

qualiﬁed persons in order to avoid a hazard.

NOTICE: For -G2M Music Models: This installation requires installation of an electrical outlet within 24″

(610 mm) of the ampliﬁer location. Refer to the ampliﬁer installation instructions.

*Outside North America, this device may be known as a Residual Current Device (RCD).

Product Notices

blower is free of sawdust, insulation, dirt, and other small loose debris. Such material can block the blower

air ducts and reduce the air ﬂow through the blower.

about 30 minutes after the unit is turned off and drained.

Features

Factory-installed components include a blower motor with power supply cord, check valve (some models),

air piping, and user keypad. -G2M models also include transducers, an ampliﬁer, and a power supply cord.

4. Install the Electrical Outlet

WARNING: Risk of electric shock. Make sure the power has been disconnected before performing

the following procedures.

WARNING: Risk of electric shock. Connect the blower motor to a properly grounded,

grounding-type receptacle protected by a Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter (GFCI) or Residual

Current Device (RCD). Do not remove the grounding pin from the plug. Do not use a grounding

adapter.

NOTICE: The blower motor is equipped with a cord and plug. A qualiﬁed electrician must install a GFCI-

or RCD-protected, 120 V, 15 A, grounded outlet for the blower. No other load should be on this circuit.

Install an electrical outlet inside the shroud, at least 1-1/2″(38 mm) above the subﬂoor, and within

reach of the 24″(610 mm) power cord.

For -G2M Music Models: Refer to the installation instructions included with the ampliﬁer for

wiring and installation details. Position the ampliﬁer anywhere within the shroud (not

recommended) or in a remote location. If installed within the shroud, the ampliﬁer will need to

5. Install the Bath

NOTICE: Do not lift the bath by the piping or blower, or use the piping or blower for structural support

of the bath. To avoid damage to the bath, lift by the rim at the sides of the bath.

To provide access for securing the connections, temporarily position block spacers on opposing ends

between the shroud and the bath rim. Position the blocks to avoid damaging the alignment guides

located under the bath rim.

With help, carefully lift the bath into place over the shroud and onto the block spacers.

For -G2M Music Models: Refer to the installation instructions included with the ampliﬁer for

wiring and installation details, and make the ﬁnal electrical connections.

Secure all valve connections and ﬁttings.

For USA and Mexico: Plug the blower power cord into the electrical outlet installed inside the

shroud.

Carefully remove the blocks and make sure the bath rim engages the top of the shroud on all sides.

Ensure all alignment guides are inside the shroud; there should be no gap between the bath and the

shroud.

Install the drain ﬂange and overﬂow cover according to the drain instructions.

Install the faucet trim according to the trim instructions.

Close the bath drain. Fill the bath to the overﬂow, and check for leaks.

If desired, apply a thin, continuous bead of clear or color-matched silicone sealant to the seam

between the bath and the ﬁnished ﬂoor.

Test Run the Bath

Check all electrical connections and make sure the electrical power to the bath is on.

Fill the bath to a level at least 4″(102 mm) above the top of the highest airjet.

Important Safety Instructions

READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS

INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO A RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS

WARNING: When using electrical products, basic precautions should always be followed,

including the following:

DANGER: Risk of accidental injury or drowning. To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit

children to use this unit unless they are closely supervised at all times.

WARNING: Risk of personal injury. To avoid injury, exercise care when entering or exiting the

bath.

WARNING: Risk of electric shock. Do not permit electric appliances (such as a hair dryer, lamp,

telephone, radio, or television) within 5’ (1.5 m) of this bath.

WARNING: The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal

hyperthermia. Prolonged immersion in hot water may induce hyperthermia. Hyperthermia occurs

when the internal temperature of the body reaches a level several degrees above the normal body

temperature of 98.6°F (37°C). The symptoms of hyperthermia include an increase in the internal

temperature of the body, dizziness, lethargy, drowsiness, and fainting. The effects of hyperthermia

include: (a) failure to perceive heat, (b) failure to recognize the need to exit the bath, (c)

unawareness of impending hazard, (d) fetal damage in pregnant women, (e) physical inability to

exit the bath, and (f) unconsciousness resulting in the danger of drowning.

WARNING: Risk of fetal injury. Pregnant or possibly pregnant women should consult a physician

before using the bath.

WARNING: Risk of hyperthermia or drowning. Do not use the bath immediately following

strenuous exercise.

WARNING: Risk of hyperthermia or drowning. Water temperature in excess of 100°F (38°C) may

cause injury. Test and adjust the water temperature before use.

WARNING: Risk of personal injury. Never drop or insert any object into any opening.

Use this bath only for its intended purpose as described in this guide. Do not use attachments not

recommended by Kohler Co.

The bath must be connected only to a supply circuit that is protected by a Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter

(GFCI)*. Such a GFCI should be provided by the installer and should be tested on a routine basis. To test the

GFCI, press the test button. The GFCI should interrupt power. Press the reset button. Power should be

restored. If the GFCI fails to operate in this manner, the GFCI is defective. If the GFCI interrupts power to

the bath without the test button being pressed, a ground current is ﬂowing, indicating the possibility of an

electric shock. Do not use this bath. Disconnect the bath and have the problem corrected by a qualiﬁed

service representative before using.

*Outside North America, this device may be known as a Residual Current Device (RCD).
