SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: Risk of personal injury. Do not permit children to use this unit without adult supervision.
WARNING: Risk of personal injury. Do not operate this unit without the guard over the suction fitting.
WARNING: Risk of electric shock. Do not permit electrical appliances (hair dryer, telephone, radio, etc.) within
60 inches (1524mm) of this unit.
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 unit 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.
Never drop or insert any object into any opening.
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 hydromassage
bathtub. Disconnect the hydromassage 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.

A RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK
OR INJURY TO PERSONS
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS!

Each bath arrives ready for installation, completely equipped with the pump and plumbing
necessary for operation. However, a drain/overflow 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 are proper, plumb, and square.
Installation and Framing Instructions
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. Prior to installation and before enclosing with wallboard, tile,
etc., the bath must be filled with water and operated to check for leaks that may
have resulted from shipping damage or mishandling.
The sumps of these baths are not supported by the feet and additional sump
support is required. Once the bath is in place, the rim of the bath should contact
the stringer or pier but supports no weight.
Provisions must be made in all installations for an access opening for servicing the
bath pump. Unless an access opening of at least 12" x 24" (305mm x 610mm) is
provided, warranty service will not be performed. It is strongly recommended that an
additional opening be provided for access to drain components.
Each bath has a nominal length (L), width (W), and Height (H) along with a rim
height. Unless otherwise noted in the following rough-in references, assume
that the nominal tolerances are as much as +/-1/4 inch (6mm). Therefore, it is
strongly recommended that the installer build the surrounding structure after
receiving the actual bath. Structural measurements should be verified against
the actual bath received to ensure proper fit.

POST INSTALLATION CLEAN-UP
Remove all construction debris from bath. Tile grout can be removed with a wooden
popsicle stick or tongue depressor.
Do not use wire brushes or any other metal implement on bath surface.
Post installation clean-up generally can be completed using warm water and liquid
dishwashing detergent.
Stubborn dirt or stains may be removed using granular Spic and Span®mixed with water.
Painter's naphtha can be used to remove excess adhesives and/or wet oil-base paint.

INSTALLATION AND FRAMING INSTRUCTIONS
The variety of installations possible for this whirlpool may require framing procedures other than those shown. Locate studs as
needed. Ensure roughing-in dimensions are proper, plumb and square. Provisions must be made in all installations for an access
opening for servicing the pump and controls. It is strongly recommended that an additional opening be provided for access to the
drain components. The apron should not be used as the primary access opening.

TYPICAL INSTALLATION
FIGURE 1
3. Install drain components to the whirlpool following the drain installation
instructions. Before replacing your whirlpool for final installation, be certain
that an opening has been provided in the sub-floor for the drain. See the
roughing-in drawing and Ta ble 1 for suggested opening size (shadowed) and
location dimensions. 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
bath, water, and bather. Refer to Ta ble 1 under total weight for your model.
2. Remove the whirlpool and attach a 1 x 4 stringer to the studs, with the top of
the stringer touching the traced line.
The rim of the bath must not support weight.
1. Position the whirlpool into the installation opening and level the deck in both directions, shimming the integral leveling
feet IF necessary. Mark the final position of the underside of the deck by tracing a line on to the studs (see Figure 1).

The bath must be supported along it’s entire bottom. Use mortar as
bedding material (do not use sand or foam). Apply enough mortar to support
the complete bottom of the bath. After the mortar has been poured, and before it
sets, position whirlpool or bath until the rim is leveled against the leveling
stringers or mounting surfaces (see “Typical Installations”) shown below.
!The rim of the bath must not support weight. If foundation base is used, allow
the bedding material to completely harden before applying weight to the rim or
bottom of the bath. Any finish material such as tile or wall board must be
self-supporting if it contacts the deck of the bath.
