WARNING: Risk of personal injury. Do not permit children to use this bathtub without adult supervision.
WARNING: Risk of electric shock. Do not permit electrical appliances near any bathtub when bathtub contains water.
WARNING: Risk of hyperthermia and possible drowning. People using medications and/or having adverse medical
history should consult a physician before using this product.
WARNING: Risk of personal injury. Do not overfill bathtub before entering. Entering tub when filled more than 2/3 can
cause overflow and slippery conditions. Exercise caution when entering and exiting.
WARNING: No Food or Alcoholic Beverages. Use of your bathtub immediately after meals is not recommended. Avoid
alcohol consumption before or during bathing. Alcoholic beverages can cause drowsiness or hyperthermia resulting in loss of
consciousness or even drowning.
WARNING: Pregnancy. If you are or think you may be pregnant, consult your physician before using the bathtub.
Use this unit only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use any attachments not recommended by American
Standard.
The unit must be connected only to a supply circuit that is properly 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, the
GFCI is defective. If the GFCI interrupts power to the bathtub without the test button being pushed, a ground current is flowing,
indicating the possibility of an electric shock. Do not use this air bath. Disconnect the air bath and have the problem corrected by a
licensed electrician before using.

Locate studs as required. Ensure rough dimensions are proper, plumb and square.
The following procedure must be used for all installations: stringer height should be as indicated.
The sump of the bath is supported by wood runners and no additional sump support is required.
Once the bath is in place, the runners should be shimmed accordingly, so that the rim of the bath contacts the stringer or pier but
supports no weight.
Any finish material, such as tile or wall board, must be self-supporting if it contacts the rim of the bath.
NOTE: BUILDING MATERIALS AND
WIRING SHOULD BE ROUTED
AWAY FROM THE AIR PUMP BODY.

Plumbing
• CONSULT A QUALIFIED PLUMBER TO HOOK-UP THE DRAIN/OVERFLOW PLUMBING TO THE HOUSE WASTE SYSTEM.
USE INSTRUCTION SUPPLIED WITH DRAIN AND OVERFLOW.
Deck-mounted Faucet:
For deck-mounted faucet and fill spout, use a hole saw for drilling. Apply masking tape to protect the surface prior to drilling to avoid damage. Follow the
manufacturer’s instructions for spacing and size of holes to be drilled. Be sure to locate the fill spout so that the flow of water does not strike handles or other
surfaces which may cause the water to splash. The plumbing for the faucet and fill spout should not be allowed to interfere with the airbath equipment.
Testing:
It is important to remove all construction debris to ensure that the bath is clean before testing.
Be sure to test the airbath after the electrical and plumbing are complete, before enclosing the bath and completing the surroundings. This test ensures that
no damage occurred during shipment or installation and that the installation is satisfactory. Failure to do this will affect your warranty coverage.
Fill the bath and allow the water to stand for 30 minutes. Check the drain and waste/overflow for leaks. Turn on the airbath jets and run for 20 minutes.
Check for leaks while system is under pressure.

Electrical
Consult a qualified electrician for the following hook-up. Failure to do this will affect your warranty.
A separate 115 VAC 15 amp 60Hz service is required.
Warning – When using electrical products, basic precaution should always be followed, including the following:
1. DANGER: risk of electrical shock. Connect only to a circuit protected by a 15 AMP GROUND-FAULT-CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER (GFI)
and appropriate grounded outlet.
2. GROUNDING IS REQUIRED. THE UNIT SHOULD BE INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN AND GROUNDED.
A pressure wire connector is provided to permit connection of a No. 8 AWG solid copper bonding conductor between the control unit and
all other electrical equipment and exposed metal in the vicinity, as needed to comply with local requirements.
NOTE: BUILDING MATERIALS AND WIRING SHOULD BE
ROUTED AWAY FROM THE AIR PUMP BODY.

Troubleshooting - Air System
Always switch off power before servicing.
The electronic control fails to operate:
1. Verify electric power supply. Reset circuit or replace fuse if necessary.
2. Verify all electrical connections (including keypad connection).
3. Verify that the Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (G.F.C.I.) has not tripped.
4. If the system has been functioning for quite some time, it is possible that the thermal
protection has shut off the motor. It is indicated to switch off the system and to wait
for at least 30 minutes before using it again. Verify that air is flowing through all jets.
If not; cover the jets with warm water, then switch system ON and OFF several
times. The air outlets should be cleared. If this is not sufficient, carefully knock on
the jet heads with the handle of a screw driver or a similar plastic tool while the
blower is running.
5. If you have added a keypad extension, make sure that it has been certified by the
manufacturer of the electronic control. It could be the cause of your problem.
The blower or pump never stops:
1. Verify that the blower is well connected to the control box.
2. Verify the keypad connection.
3. Verify that there is no water reaching electrical components under your bathtub.
