6. AirMasseur®Equipment (120V,60Hz).
This AirMasseur®system comes equipped with an
Air On/Off switch and control box. The blower is pre-
wired with a 36" cord with a NEMA plug end. The air
switch control box and tubing is temporarily secured to
the bath’s plumbing for shipping. During installation the
tubing must be attached to the bath’s air switch actua-
tor and the air switch control box. The air switch control
box should be relocated to its dedicated circuit outlet.
Connect only to a dedicatedGFCI protected,120V, 15A,
60Hz circuit with a service ground. The air switch tubing
must be firmly attached to the air switch control box and
to the air switch actuator. A small bead of silicone may
be added to the air tubing connections to help prevent
the tubing from disengaging. The air switch tub-
ing must also be installed to allow for a “drop loop”
(See Figure 3c). This will prevent any moisture from
enteringtheairswitchcontrolboxfromthetubing.Finally,
the blower will plug into the control box.
