Service Access

Service access is through the removable panel in the integral skirt. Allow a space of at least 8" 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" above the floor, and will be flush with the floor when installed.

When the bath is not installed with the skirt, provide adequate ventilation (minimum 30 square inch opening) for cooling of the motor and sufficient air supply for jets.

Electrical Connections

A separate 115 VAC 15 AMP circuit, which must be protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI), is required. Because these units are manufactured with a safe, convenient Magic Touch whirlpool ON/OFF switch on the bath itself, no remote switch or timer is necessary. Install a 115 VAC, 15 AMP duplex outlet to the studwall underneath the bathtub, at least 4" above the floor. Duplex outlet is not provided.

DANGER: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. Connect only to a circuit protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter.

CAUTION: Operating the motor/pump without suffi- cient water in the bath can cause leaking and perma- nent damage to the pump. Before power is applied to the installation, make sure the switch is in the OFF position to avoid pump damage.

If installation of an optional timer is desired, refer to wiring instructions provided with the timer. An optional timer is available from Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath for 115 VAC operation.

Plumbing

Pump, jets and suction fittings for the whirlpool sys- tem are factory plumbed in PVC schedule 40 piping.

All Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath products are factory tested for proper operation and watertight connections prior to shipping. If leaks are detected, notify your Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath Dealer, do not install the unit.

Water Supply

Consult local authorities for plumbing code require- ments in your area.

IMPORTANT: Proper installation of the fill spout plumbing and compliance with local codes is the responsibility of the installer. Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath does not warrant connections of water supply fittings and piping, fill systems or drain/overflow systems. Nor is it responsible for damage to the bath which occurs during any installation procedure.
