4. Secure the Whirlpool to the Subﬂoor

CAUTION: Risk of product damage. Do not lift the whirlpool by the piping or pump, or use the

piping or pump for structural support of the whirlpool.

Choose the installation option that best applies to your particular installation. Follow the

appropriate instructions.

If the subﬂoor is not level, shim the whirlpool support blocks as necessary.

Option for Using a Cement or Mortar Bed

Spread a 2″(5.1 cm) thick layer of cement or mortar on the subﬂoor where the whirlpool will be set.

This will help secure, level, and support the unit. Clear all the material away from the pump control

and support block locations.

NOTE: Do not use gypsum cement or drywall compound for this application, as they will not provide an

acceptable, durable bond.

NOTE: The pump control (when the pump banding straps are cut) and support blocks must rest

directly on the subﬂoor.

Position a piece of plastic drop cloth material on top of the cement or mortar bed. With help,

carefully lift the whirlpool into place, and make sure the pump control and support blocks do not

rest in the bed material.

Insert the drain tailpiece into the trap. Make sure the whirlpool is level and resting on all support

blocks.

Option for Using Construction Adhesive

Apply a generous amount of high-quality construction adhesive to the bottom of the support blocks.

With help, carefully lift the whirlpool into position.

Insert the drain tailpiece into the trap. Make sure the whirlpool is level and resting on all support

blocks.

Option for Using Silicone Sealant

With help, carefully lift the whirlpool into position.

Insert the drain tailpiece into the trap. Make sure the whirlpool is level and resting on all support

blocks.

Apply a continuous bead of high-quality silicone sealant around the entire rim of the whirlpool.

5. Cut the Pump Banding Straps

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

Use tin snips to cut the two pump banding straps from the whirlpool pump.

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. Make sure the rubber isolation feet are in place.

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. The pump control contains rubber isolation

feet to reduce pump noise.

6. Install the Plumbing

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.

7. Make Electrical Connections

NOTE: The product model number is printed on a label on the pump side of the whirlpool bath. This

label also identiﬁes the electrical rating of the product. All whirlpools come equipped with a wiring

junction box and are designed to operate between 208 VAC and 240 VAC at either 50 Hz or 60 Hz.

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

performing the following procedures. Refer to the “Important Information” section.

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

properly grounded Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter (GFCI) or Earth-Leakage Circuit-Breaker

(ELCB). This will provide additional protection against line-to-ground shock hazard. A 208-240 V, 20

A, 50/60 Hz dedicated circuit is required.

IMPORTANT! The load neutral is not used. There should be no connection to the load neutral terminal

on the Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter (GFCI) breaker. The green wire with the yellow stripe is the

equipment ground and needs to be connected to the neutral bus in the main circuit breaker box.

The whirlpool bath control and system have been pre-wired at the factory. A licensed electrician

should make a routine service connection to the junction box.

Connect service to the junction box. The junction box contains blue, brown, and green with a yellow

stripe colored wires.

Follow local electrical codes. Bond in accordance with national and local codes.

A wiring harness has been pre-wired at the factory, allowing communication between the keypad,

all features, and the control. No additional wiring is required, but ensure that all wires are securely

fastened.

NOTE: Your wiring harness included an antenna for the optional remote control. Do not alter or damage

this antenna during installation.

8. Install the Whirlpool Trim Kit

Install the whirlpool trim kit according to the instructions packed with the trim kit. Pay particular

attention to the jet installation steps below - they are very important and are included here to help

you obtain smooth, trouble-free jet operation.

NOTE: The jet O-ring must be correctly positioned, must be lubricated, and must be in good condition to

permit easy rotation and proper operation of the jet.

Install the O-ring onto the ﬁrst shoulder of the jet. Lubricate the O-ring with silicone lubricant to

prevent noisy operation of the jet.

Carefully insert the jet into the housing, and lightly push and rotate the jet until it snaps into

position. Do not force the jet.

NOTE: When installed correctly, the jet should turn smoothly both clockwise and counterclockwise.

9. Install the Neckjet Pillow (if Equipped)

The whirlpool is supplied with one pillow and two slip covers. The pillow includes a built-in

magnetic reed switch. The neckjets will not operate unless the pillow is installed. Always use a slip

cover to prevent water from spraying from the whirlpool.

Choose a slip cover, and ﬁt it over the pillow.

Carefully slide the pillow down onto the neckjet body grooves until it is secure. The neckjets are

now ready for use.

We recommend periodic cleaning of the slip cover. Follow the cleaning instructions on the label

attached to the slip cover.

10. Test Run the Whirlpool

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

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

Verify that the pump banding straps have been cut, and that the pump control is resting directly on

the subﬂoor. Ensure that the rubber isolation feet are in place.

Fill the whirlpool until the water level sensors (if equipped) are submerged. If your whirlpool does

not have sensors, ﬁll the whirlpool to a level at least 2″(5.1 cm) above the highest jet.

Operate the whirlpool for 5 minutes (refer to the ″Operating Sequence″section) and check all

whirlpool piping connections, on the back side, for leaks.
