7. Install the Whirlpool
WARNING: Risk of personal injury. This cast iron whirlpool is extremely heavy. Obtain sufficient help
to carefully lift and move it.
CAUTION: Risk of product damage. Do not lift the whirlpool by the piping or pump, or use the
piping or pump for structural support of the whirlpool.
CAUTION: Risk of product damage. Do not support the whirlpool by the rim.
Carefully move the whirlpool into position. Insert the drain tailpiece into the trap.
Level the whirlpool by fitting metal shims under the whirlpool feet as needed. Check for level along
the top of the whirlpool, and across the drain side. If the feet are not accessible from the back or
side, move the whirlpool in and out of position to shim it properly. Make sure the whirlpool is
resting on all four feet.
Level by fitting metal shims
under the whirlpool feet.
1019436-2-E 8 Kohler Co.

8. Mount the Pump in Custom Location
Remove all protective packaging from around the whirlpool harness. Cut only those cable ties
supporting the harness attachment nuts.
Remove the plugs from the pump inlet and outlet openings. Install the supplied gasket in the
connection where the heater and pump join. Install the supplied O-rings/gaskets into the grooves
on the inlet and outlet connector fittings.
Position the pump and control into place. Be sure the rubber isolation feet remain in place.
Thread the plastic inlet and outlet attachment nuts onto the heater and/or pump until the
O-rings/gaskets make initial contact.
Tighten each nut no more than another quarter of a turn. Do not use a wrench or overtighten these
nuts, as damage or leaks may result.
Make sure the whirlpool harness piping is pitched correctly (down and away) to promote the
drainage of water from the pump through the suction fitting. The pump should rest on the same
subfloor, at the same level as the whirlpool feet. Shim the pump if necessary on the subfloor, but
only high enough to allow water to drain out of the suction line when the whirlpool is drained.
NOTE: Do not shim the pump more than 1/4″(6 mm). Raising the pump too high will prevent the pump
from priming properly.
If your heater was already installed in the custom location, simply plug the heater cord into the
heater connection on the control by aligning the pins and pressing it into place.
Locate the solid copper 8-gauge bonding wire, which has been secured to the bracket upon which
the pump has shipped. Feed this bonding wire back to the pump and control, in the custom
location, and connect to one of the open bonding lugs on the control box. This is necessary to bond
any metal back to the grounding source.
Make sure the wiring from the bath-mounted user keypad is connected to the wiring harness on the
control.
9. Install the Plumbing
CAUTION: Risk of property damage. Ensure a watertight seal on the whirlpool drain.
Connect the drain to the trap according to the drain manufacturer’s instructions.

10. Make Electrical Connections
NOTE: The product model number is printed on a label on the pump side of the whirlpool bath. This
label also identifies the electrical rating of the product. All whirlpools come equipped with a wiring
junction box and are designed to operate between 208 VAC and 240 VAC at either 50 HZ or 60 Hz.
WARNING: Risk of electrical shock. Make sure the power has been disconnected before performing
the following procedures. Refer to the “Important Information” section.
WARNING: Risk of electrical shock. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, connect the pump to a
properly grounded Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter (GFCI) or Earth-Leakage Circuit-Breaker (ELCB).
This will provide additional protection against line-to-ground shock hazard. A 208-240 V, 20 A, 50/60
Hz dedicated circuit is required.
IMPORTANT! The load neutral is not used. There should be no connection to the load neutral terminal
on the Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter (GFCI) breaker. The green wire with the yellow stripe is the
equipment ground and needs to be connected to the neutral bus in the main circuit breaker box.
The whirlpool bath control and system have been pre-wired at the factory. A licensed electrician
should make a routine service connection to the junction box.
Connect service to the junction box. The junction box contains blue, brown, and green with a yellow
stripe colored wires.
Follow local electrical codes. Bond in accordance with national and local codes.
A wiring harness has been pre-wired at the factory, allowing communication between the keypad,
all features, and the control. No additional wiring is required, but ensure that all wires are securely
fastened.
