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
plumbingsystemcleaner(SystemsClean™)specificallyforwhirlpoolbaths. Foravailabilitycall1-800-288-4002.
•Use this unit only for its intended purpose as described in this manual. Do not use attachments not recom-
mended 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 electri-
cal installation according to codes are required for proper installation and user satisfaction. We recom-
mend that a licensed contractor perform the installation of all Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath products. Our war-
ranty does not cover improper installation related problems.

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.

Framing and Support
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 the table under total weight for your model. The unit must be supported from the bottom of the bath and
not from the bath rim or tile flange. If the subfloor is level, no other preparation is necessary. You can proceed to
install the bath. If the subfloor is not level, you MUST level the entire surface prior to installing the bath. The use of
materials that shim or provide a level installation are allowed provided the method used will insure a level bath that
is supported from the bottom. Materials that may be used are a floor leveling compound, mortar, plaster or minimal
expansion structural foam having a density of a minimum of 5 lbs./cubic ft.; however the bath must remain level in
order for it to drain properly and the foam feet must make full contact with the leveling material. Both sides of a joint
or splice of subfloor should be level to each other. When attaching baths with flanges to stud wall, use shims to
fill any gaps between the bath flange and studs.
The rim of the bath is not designed to support weight. If finish material is to overlap or contact the bath, the added
weight must be fully self-supporting.
The protective film liner inside the bath is used to prevent damage to the finish from shoes, tools, etc.
during installation. Before installation, remove liner to inspect for any defects, reapply and do not remove
until final cleanup.
Important: If a skirt is to be used, it must be installed at the time of unit installation – refer to skirt
installation instructions. Install optional trim parts when all installation has been completed.

Service Access
For partially or fully sunken installations, allow for
access to service connections. It is the installer's re-
sponsibility to provide sufficient service access. The
recommended minimum dimensions allowable for ser-
vice to the bath are shown in the "ServiceAccess" illus-
tration.
Provide adequate area around unit for air circulation
for cooling the motor and to supply sufficient air to the
jets. Do not insulate this area or around motor.
Service Access with Skirt
An optional skirt fits along the side of the bath for
above-floor installations and is also an access panel for
servicing. Allow a space of at least 8 inches away from
the bath for skirt removal.
The skirt is designed to accommodate the added
height of the tile, linoleum, or other floor coverings up to
1-1/4 inches above the floor, and will be flush with the
floor when installed.
