IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

ATTENTION INSTALLER: INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC
SHOCK OR INJURY TO PERSONS
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: When using this unit, always follow basic precautions, including the following:
DANGER: RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. The installation must have a Class A Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter (GFCI) for the whirlpool system.
This will provide additional protection against line-to-ground shock hazard.
Such a GFCI should be provided by the installer and should be tested on a routine basis.
T o 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, there is a ground current flowing or the GFCI is defective. The possibility of an electric shock may exist. DO NOT use this unit. Disconnect the unit and have the problem corrected by a qualified licensed electrician.
DO NOT operate this unit without the guard on the suction fitting.
Never drop or insert any object into any opening.
For -J1 and -JA models only: A green colored 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 this 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 this equipment.
All models: A pressure wire connector is provided on the exterior of the pump or control box within this unit to permit connection of a No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm2) solid copper bonding conductor between this unit and all other electrical equipment and exposed metal in the vicinity , as needed to comply with local requirements.
Use this unit only for its intended use as denoted in this manual. DO NOT use attachments not recommended by the Kohler Co.
DANGER: To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this unit unless they are closely supervised at all times.
