IMPORTANT SAfETY INSTRUcTIONS

The unit must be connected only to a supply circuit that is properly protected by a 20 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 fl owing, indicating the possibility of an
electric shock. Do not use this total massage, whirlpool or air bathtub. Disconnect The total massage, whirlpool or air bathtub and have the
problem corrected by a licensed electrician before using.
A pressure wire connector is provided on the exterior of the motor unit to permit connection of a no. 8 AWG 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. To reduce the risk of an electric shock, connect this connector to the grounding terminal of your electric service or supply
panel with a conductor equivalent in size to the circuit conductors supplying this unit. Use supply wires that are suitable for 167°F (75°C),
including the temperature rating of the supply conductors to be used. Building materials and wiring should be routed away from the
motor/pump or blower or other heat producing components of this unit.

INSPEcTION AND TESTING
Each bath arrives ready for installation, completely equipped with the pump and plumbing necessary for operation. However, a drain/
overfl ow kit is required for each bath and it is not included.
The variety of installations for this bath may require framing procedures other than those shown.
Locate studs as required. Ensure roughing-in dimensions (see pg. 11) are proper, plumb, and square.
Inspection:
• 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. All bath units are factory tested for proper operation and watertight connections
prior to shipping.
• Inspect the shell and bathtub components. Should inspection reveal any damage or defect in the fi nish or visible damage to any
components, do not install the bathtub. Damage or defect to the fi nish claimed after the bathtub is installed is excluded from the warranty.
• Inspect the tub components for loose fi ttings.
Testing:
• Prior to installation and before enclosing with wallboard, tile, etc., the bath must be fi lled with water and operated to check for leaks that
may have resulted from shipping damage or mishandling.
• It is the responsibility of the installer to thoroughly test the tub prior to completing installation. Place the tub on a level surface, ensure
drain is sealed and fi ll the bathtub with water to the bottom of the overfl ow. Allow water to sit in tub for at least 5 minutes as a static test.
If installing a system tub, plug in the motor/ pump and turn it on. Confi rm all features function correctly. Visually inspect all joints for leaks.
DO NOT install tub if any leaks are detected or system functions do not work properly.
