PRECAUTIONS

• Do not operate the whirlpool system unless the bath is filled with water to at least 2" above the highest jet.

• Never drop or insert any object into any opening.

• 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.

• To prevent discoloration of the acrylic finish, do not fill the bath with water in excess of 140°F (60°C).

• 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.

• Use this unit only for its intended purpose as described in this manual. Do not use attachments not recom­mended by the manufacturer.

• This unit 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, 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 this 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.

• This unit should be installed by a licensed electrician and grounded.

• For built-in and drop-in units, install to permit access for servicing.

Note: 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 Whirlpool Bath products. Our war­ranty does not cover improper installation related problems.

SPECIFICATIONS

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. An optional drain/overflow kit is available for installation on the bath.

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 only.

Immediately upon receipt, inspect the shell 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 published warranty information packed with the product.

All bath units are factory tested for proper operation and watertight connections prior to shipping. Note: Prior to

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.
