ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS section of these instructions (on page 6) to determine proper location.
PROPER WALL MOUNTING OF THE SUITMATE®UNIT
The SUITMATE®unit should be mounted to the wall with the Wall Mount Bracket that is provided with the unit.
The UTILITIES LOCATION DIAGRAM (page 11) shows the recommended location for the mounting holes,
the electrical service, and the wastewater outlet (if utilized). The Wall Mount Bracket must be secured to a wall
stud, or to concrete block or cinder block wall.
WARNING!
Anchors in drywall are not sufcient to mount the SUITMATE®unit.
Locating and Securing the Wall Mount Bracket to the Wall
The suggested height from the oor to the top of the SUITMATE®
unit is 42 inches (1050 cm). At least an additional 10 inches (250
cm) of clearance above the SUITMATE®unit is needed for the
opening and closing of the lid. The upper center hole of the Wall
Mount Bracket should be 38 +/- 1/16” (965 +/- 2mm) from the oor.
The top of the Wall Sign should be 60 +/- 1/16” (965 +/- 2mm)
above the oor and centered over the SUITMATE®unit.
Determine a location on the wall that provides adequate
clearance, a strong and secure place for the Wall Mount Bracket as
well as easy access to electrical and drainage connections.

To secure the Wall Mount Bracket, center the bracket at the desired location and mark the locations of the two
center holes. Secure the Wall Mount Bracket at the center holes using fasteners appropriate to your conditions.
All fasteners must be capable of supporting 55 pounds (25kg) in addition to the added weight or pressure of
people leaning on the unit. Make certain the Wall Mount Bracket is level. Next secure the outer holes of the
Wall Mount Bracket to the structure using fasteners appropriate to your conditions. After the bracket has been
properly anchored to the wall and the electrical and drainage requirements have been allowed for, the
SUITMATE®unit is ready to be mounted to the wall.
Mounting the SUITMATE®Unit to the Wall
Remove the SUITMATE®unit from its shipping box. Remove and discard the packaging material that is
protecting the SUITMATE®unit. The upper back lip of the SUITMATE®unit should be lowered down and
centered on the Wall Mount Bracket. After the unit is centered, push down on the back of the unit to make
certain that it is securely wedged onto the bracket. Make certain the unit is level. If it is not level, remove the
unit, adjust the Wall Mount Bracket and re-hang the unit. A level installation is necessary to minimize vibration
and insure proper drainage of wastewater. Finish securing the unit to the wall using appropriate fasteners and
anchors on the lower mounting channel at the bottom rear of the unit. This will prevent the unit from being lifted
from the bracket or being moved.

PROPER DRAINAGE FOR THE SUITMATE®UNIT
Note: Strictly follow all applicable local plumbing codes and regulations.
TO A FLOOR DRAIN
Drainage of the wastewater to a oor drain should be done ONLY in an area where the oor is normally wet.
DO NOT drain water across a oor where people do not expect to encounter a wet and slippery condition. The
SUITMATE® unit comes with a short exible oor drain extension tube connected with a stainless steel hose
clamp to its drain tailpiece.
WARNING!
The drain tube that comes with the unit must not be removed unless the unit is
connected to an approved wastewater outlet or the factory-supplied tube is
replaced with another tube according to the following instructions.
Replacing the Factory Drain Tube with a Longer Drain Tube
Use a 1-1/4 inch (31.25 mm) I.D. drain tube with a smooth interior that will not crimp or collapse. Use the
stainless steel hose clamp that is provided with the factory exible oor drain extension tube to secure the
replacement tube to the unit’s drain tailpiece. Route the drain tube so that it is never higher than the bottom of
the SUITMATE® unit and always slopes down. Secure the drain tube to the wall or oor with properly sized “U”
clamps so it cannot be maneuvered to trap wastewater. Cut off the end of the drain tube on an angle to help
prevent it from being blocked by the oor, wall, or some other object. Upon completion of the installation,
check to make certain that there is a free ow of water from the drain tube extension.
To an Approved Sanitary Waste Line
This installation should only be done in accordance with all applicable local plumbing codes and regulations.
The unit’s 1-1/4 inch (31.25 mm) O.D. drain tailpiece is designed for connection with standard compression
type plumbing ttings. There is room inside the housing for the use of a standard “P” type plumbing
connection. The waste outlet should be located in the wall behind the unit. The UTILITIES LOCATION
DIAGRAM shows the appropriate location for the waste duct. Refer to UTILITIES LOCATION DIAGRAM on
page 11.
If an open-site drain connection is required and the
open site is to be positioned within the SUITMATE®unit
housing, locate the top of the receiver pipe below the
top of the Motor end cap, and locate the top outer edge
of the receiver pipe at least 1-1/4 inches (31.25 mm)
from the body of the Motor. (Also see the UTILITIES
LOCATION DIAGRAM on page 11) Be certain that the
cut off end of the drain extension tube is below the top
of the receiver with the angle cut facing away from the
Motor as illustrated.

Remove the cover of the weatherproof Junction Box, which contains the GFCI, and remove the GFCI
mounting screws. The circuit ground conductor must be connected to the green grounding screw located on
the GFCI. If no ground is available on the circuit utilized, you must provide a proper ground for the SUITMATE®
unit. The hot and neutral leads of the power circuit should be connected to the GFCI screw terminals marked
“LINE”. Connect the hot lead to the terminal marked “HOT” and the neutral lead to the terminal marked
“NEUTRAL”. After the correct electrical connections have been properly made, remount the GFCI using the
screws previously removed. Reinstall the weatherproof Junction Box cover previously removed. This cover
provides access to the GFCI “TEST” and “RESET” buttons.
POSTING THE WALL SIGN
Locate the top edge of the sign 60+/- 1/16” (1524 +/- 2mm) above the oor centered over the SUITMATE®unit.
At this height the sign will not be blocked when the lid is raised. It will also serve as a stop to keep the Lid from
striking the wall behind the unit.
The sign has an adhesive foam backing. Be certain the surface that the sign is to be mounted to is clean and
dry. Without touching the sign to the wall, align the top of the sign 60+/- 1/16” (1524 +/- 2mm) above the oor
and at the center of the unit. Press the sign to the wall and rub rmly over the adhesive portion of the sign.

NO. Go to question 2.
YES. Is there power to the unit?
YES. Go to question 1.A.
NO. To make certain there is no power to the unit, use an A.C. voltmeter set to the appropriate
range and measure across the “LINE” side of the GFCI.
1.A. Is the GFCI tripped out?
YES. Reset the GFCI by pressing the red button.
NO. Go to question 1.B.
1.B. Is the Micro Switch working?
Test the Micro Switch by slowly depressing the Lid and listening for a faint click.

spin the basket.
YES. There is some other problem with the unit and an Exchange may be recommended.
NO. Something may be obstructing the Basket. Pull the Basket to the side and, with a ashlight,
look for an obstruction. Remove the obstruction.
3) Does the unit Leak?
NO. Go to question 4.
YES. There is probably an obstruction, of the drain hose or drain channel. Remove the drain hose and
make certain it is not plugged. The drain channel is a two-inch U channel that runs around the
