IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE BEGINNING ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLA TION.
SUMMARY OF PRECAUTIONS
• Suction cover must be in place at all times to minimize the potential for hair and body entrapment.
• Keep body and hair a minimum of 6" away from suction fitting at all times when the whirlpool system is operating. Hair longer
than shoulder length should be secured close to the head.
• Other than those built into this unit, never operate electrical appliances (hairdryer, telephone, television, radio etc.) inside or
within 5 feet of the bath.
• Never leave small children unattended in the bath.
• Do not use oil-based bath additives in your whirlpool bath.
• When cleaning your bath, do not use abrasive substances which will damage the bath's surface.
•A maximum water temperature of 104°F is recommended. Bathing at temperatures above 104°F for prolonged periods can
be injurious to health.
• To prevent discoloration of the acrylic finish, do not fill the bath with water in excess of 140°F.
• The whirlpool system should be purged at least twice a month. For your convenience, we have developed a plumbing system
cleaner (Systems Clean™) specifically for whirlpool baths. For availability call 1-800-288-4002.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: When using this unit, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:
Read and follow all instructions.
DANGER: to reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this unit unless they are closely supervised at all times.
Use this unit only for its intended purpose as described in this manual. Do not use attachments not recommended by the
manufacturer.
Never drop or insert any object into any opening.
Do not operate this unit without the suction cover in place.
This unit must be connected only to supply circuits that are 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, 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, there is a ground
current flowing, indicating a possibility of an electric shock. Do not use the unit. Disconnect the unit and have the problem corrected
by a qualified electrician before using.
A pressure wire connector is provided on the exterior of the motor to permit connection of an No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm) 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.
WARNING: When using electrical products, basic precautions should always be followed including the following:
DANGER: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. Connect only to a circuit protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter.
Grounding is required. This unit should be installed and grounded by a qualified electrician.
Install to permit access for servicing.
Note: This is a professional grade product. A good 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 Whirlpool Bath products. Our
warranty does not cover improper installation related problems.

Important: Read complete instructions before beginning installation.
Each whirlpool bath arrives ready for installation, completely equipped with motor/pump assembly and plumbing and
fittings necessary for whirlpool operation. The drain/overflow kit and faucet kit must be installed on the bath by the
installer.
Remove the bath from the carton. Retain the shipping carton until satisfactory inspection of the product has been
made. Do not lift the bath by the plumbing at any time; handle by the shell or frame only.
Immediately upon receipt, inspect the shell and walls before installing. Should inspection reveal any damage or defect
in the finish, do not install the bath. Damage or defect to the finish claimed after the bath is installed is excluded from
the warranty. Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath's responsibility for shipping damage ceases upon delivery of the products in good
order to the carrier. Refer any claims for damage to the carrier. For definitions of warranty coverage and limitations,
refer to the warranty information.
All bath units are factory tested for proper operation and watertight connections prior to shipping. Note: Prior to final
installation, the bath must be filled with water and operated to check for leaks that may have resulted from
shipping damage or mishandling. Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath is not responsible for any defect that could have been
discovered, repaired, or avoided by following this inspection and testing procedure.

Framing and Support
The drain/overflow of the bath extends below the bottom of the bath. Note that this requires a cutout in the floor.
The floor structure beneath the bath must be able to support a total weight of approximately 94 lb/sq. ft. (bath,
water, and bather). If the subfloor is level, no other preparation is necessary. You can proceed to install the bath.
If the subfloor is not level, you MUST level the entire surface prior to installing the bath. (Use a floor leveling compound.)
Do not level bath with mortar. Both sides of a joint or splice of subfloor should be level to each other.
Before final setting of the bath, route the steam hoses from under the shell through the cutout in the rim. Unwind the
speaker wires from under the bath rim on both sides. When final setting, the speaker wires must be routed under the
1x4.
For units with TV, unwind audio cables, fan and TV power cords.
The protective film liner inside the bath should be left there to prevent damage to the finish from shoes, tools, etc. during
installation and should not be removed until final cleanup.

The installation requires three cutouts in the walls. Two cutouts allow room for the speakers. The third cutout is
necessary to route water supply piping to the center panel, and to route hoses for the steam generators to the bath.
The location of a 230VAC power outlet is indicated on the wall cutouts illustration.

Finished Walls
Before fixing the bath in place, make sure the finished walls above the rim of the bath are perpendicular. The two wall
extrusions at the edges of the fixed panels will allow some compensation for walls out of true less than 3/16". (See
fixed panels installation for wall extrusions.) If that is the case, the bath may be placed against the finished walls. If
more than 3/16", shims will be necessary and the bath moved away from the wall an appropriate distance. When final
setting of the bath, secure the metal straps attached to the bath to the floor with screws or anchors.

Skirt Installation
It is necessary to mount the skirt shell clips on the factory installed wood blocks located along the underside of the
rim. Mark hole locations on the blocks using clips as a template for correct hole spacing. Then drill a pilot hole 1/2"
deep using a 3/32" diameter drill. Use caution to avoid drilling through the bath rim. Secure the clips to the wooden
blocks as shown.
Using a square or level, determine the location of the vertical drop from the bath rim at both ends and the center of
the bath. Locate the center wood block (provided) at the appropriate distance from the vertical drop, centering it
lengthwise with relation to the rim of the bath. The faces of the side blocks (provided) will be oriented along a line
from the center vertical drop point to the end vertical drop point. The blocks can be screwed, nailed or adhered with
adhesive to the floor. Make sure the finished sides of blocks are outward. Glue the skirt blade (1-1/2" x 79-3/4" white
acrylic strip) to the front of the wooden blocks.
Before attaching skirt, locate the CD/radio speaker and power connectors coiled under the bath rim. Uncoil and
connect the speaker and power connectors to the CD/radio. Also locate the green ground wire and connect to the
chassis of the CD /radio.
Slip the skirt up between the rim and the shell clips. While holding the skirt at the bottom, move it inward toward the
bath. Lift it up so there is 1/2" gap between the floor and the bottom of the skirt. While using shims to hold the skirt
up, attach the skirt to the skirt blade and wooden blocks with screws through the predrilled holes.
