Safety Instructions

INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO A RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS.
This is a professional grade product. A knowledge of construction techniques, plumbing and electrical installation according to codes are required for proper installation and user satisfaction. We recommend that a licensed contractor perform the installation of all Jacuzzi Luxury Bath products. Our warranty does not cover improper installation related problems.
English
CAUTION: When using this unit, basic precautions should always be performed, including the following:
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
• Use this unit only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer.
• Never drop or insert any object into any opening.
WARNING: RISK OF ACCIDENTAL INJURY OR DROWNING!
Do not permit children to use this unit unless they are closely supervised at all times. Do not use hydromassage bathtub unless all suction guards are installed to prevent body and hair entrapment. Never operate the hydromassage bathtub if the suction cover is broken, damaged or missing.
DANGER: RISK OF SEVERE INJURY FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK OR DEATH FROM ELECTROCUTION!
This unit must be connected only to a supply circuit that is protected by a 15 amp 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, push the test button. The GFCI should interrupt power. Push 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 bathtub without the test button being pushed, a
ground current is owing, indicating a possibility of an electric shock. Do not use this hydromassage bathtub. Disconnect the hydromassage bathtub and have the problem corrected by a qualied service representative before using.
WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!
Connect only to a circuit protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). (For permanently connected units) A green­colored terminal (or a wire connector) marked “G,” “GR,” “GROUND,” or “GROUNDING”) is provided within the terminal compartment. To reduce the risk of electric shock, connect the terminal or connector to the grounding terminal of your electric service or supply panel with a conductor equivalent in size to the circuit conductors supplying the equipment.
CAUTION: This equipment is intended for indoor use only. Install the equipment in accordance with these instructions. Use
supply wires that are suitable for 167°F (75°C), including the temperature rating of the supply conductors to be used. This unit should be electrically grounded and installed by a licensed contractor, electrician, and plumber. Building materials and wiring should be routed away from the motor/pump or blower or other heat producing components of this unit. A pressure wire connector is provided on the exterior of the motor/pump and heater to permit connection of an No. 8 AWG solid copper bonding conductor between this unit and all other electric equipment and exposed metal in the vicinity, as needed to comply with local requirements.
Important CSA Safety Instructions (Canadian models only)
When using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the
following:
1. WARNING: RISK OF ACCIDENTAL INJURY OR DROWNING! CHILDREN SHOULD NOT USE HYDROMASSAGE BATHTUB WITHOUT ADULT SUPERVISION.
2. WARNING: RISK OF ACCIDENTAL INJURY OR DROWNING! DO NOT USE HYDROMASSAGE BATHTUB UNLESS ALL SUCTION GUARDS ARE INSTALLED TO PREVENT BODY AND HAIR ENTRAPMENT.

2
Allow bathtub to stand for 5 minutes. Use operating instructions to ensure tub functions as described. Do not install if tub does
3
not function properly.
Visually inspect all joints for leaks. Do not install the bathtub if leaks are detected.
4
Return bathtub to box or otherwise protect from damage until time of installation.

Sub Floor Preparation

Prepare the sub oor for the drain and ensure that the area is level.
The drain/overow of the bathtub extends below the bottom of the bathtub. Identify the drawing in the Technical Specications
1
section that corresponds with your bathtub (available on www.jacuzzi.com).
Determine the location of the basin. The oor must be at and level.
2
Make appropriate cuts to the Sub oor to accommodate the drain.
3
Please refer to the drawing(s) in the Technical Specications section that correspond to your bathtub.

Preparing the Floor for MZ20000 Drain Alignment Kit

Using the supplied template, cut a 5” hole in the sub
1
oor.
Install the drain alignment kit into the sub oor
2
according to the included instructions.

Installation Instructions

Drain Installation

Install the metal drain/waste tting (supplied with the tub) into the
1
drain hole as illustrated (Fig. 2). Ensure that the drain opening on
the waste tting is situated in the integral overow channel. Use
the brass tting SS99000 & relevant MZ20000 pieces as needed
by model (Fig. 3a/b).
A - For Arga™ Classic: Use SS87000 ABS adapter with poly
2
adapter, brass tailpiece and nut from the drain alignment kit
included in your tub. These will be used for the conversion (Fig.
3a).
B - For Arga™: Use SS99000 brass tailpiece with the threaded
tailpiece from the drain alignment kit and install directly to
SS99000 (Fig. 3b).
A - Cut the brass tailpiece to length. For SS87000 connection,
3
deburr and roll the cut edge with a swage tool. Install
components to the brass tailpiece as shown (Fig. 3a).
B - Cut the brass tailpiece to length. Install components to the
