6. Base frame removal
The bath base frame can now be removed from the foot
plate assemblies.
1. Starting at one end, whilst supporting the frame, remove
the 4 x M8 allen head bolts from the top of the base
frame.(2 bolt each side of frame).
2. Remove the 2 x M8 allen head bolts form the underside of
the base frame.(1 bolt each side of frame).
3. The base frame will now come free from the foot plate
assembly.
Carefully lower the end of the frame to the ground.
4. Repeat the process for the opposite end of the bath.

10. Connecting the Spa motor (Optional extra
– Baths fitted with air spa only)
Pneumatic spa
Where a pneumatic spa has been fitted, the air switch pipe will need to be connected to the front
of the air spa blower.
The air pipe is a clear PVC pipe and can be found hanging down at the tap end of the pipe.
Unravel the coiled air pipe and insert firmly into the
air hose connection located on the spa motor
Cable tie the hose to the frame if required,
ensuring there is no risk of entrapment.
Electronic spa
If the bath comes fitted with an electronic spa pump
system, the power cable and air hose will require wiring
up and connecting.
Warning: Before wiring the motor to the control box,
make sure the control box is not connected to the
Mains voltage supply.
Starting with the motor power cable, unravel the
coiled power lead found at the foot end. The cable will need
to be routed behind the frame section as shown.
Following this, fit the cable to the bunny ear connectors
found on the bath, rotating the tabs to secure into place.
Open the control box. The motor now needs wiring up.
Insert the cable through the cable gland, and make sure
the seal is well seated. The cable will have two wires, a
brown (live) and a blue (neutral).
Connect the neutral wire to the neutral block, (marked
‘Neutral’).
Connect the live wire to the live terminal (marked ‘Motor’).
Now that the box is correctly wired up, replace the cover.
The next step will be to connect the air feed hose to the
spa motor.
Place a jubilee clip over the hose. Fit the rubber end of the hose onto the nozzle protruding from
the spa blower. Slide the rubber back over the rubber section and secure into place.
The earth cable now needs reconnecting. To do this find 1 x M6 Shake proof tooth washers and 1
x M6 x 12 button head bolt in the dispatch kit.
Find the earth cable. This will still be connected to the bath frame. Locate the fixing hole for the
opposite end of the cable, this will have a green earth sticker next to it.
Insert the bolt through the earth cable eyelet, followed up by the M6 shake proof washer. Screw
the bolt into the fixing hole. Whilst tightening, hold the earth cable eyelet, as this will prevent it
rotating.
11. Fitting the waste flexi pipe
The flexi waste pipe will now need connecting to the S-trap.
Locate the waste locking ring and rubber seal in the dispatch kit. Next place the locking nut over
the end of the waste pipe. Now, place the rubber seal onto the end of the waste pipe.
Note: It is important that the flexi waste pipe travels around the base frame as shown on
page 18.
Gently plug the end of the waste pipe into the S-trap. Push gently, ensuring the flexi pipe end will
insert no further.
Whilst holding the flexi waste pipe end in place, begin to tighten the locking nut.
Note: Holding the waste pipe in place will prevent it rotating whilst the locking nut is being
tightened. Tighten firmly hand tight, however do not overtighten.
12. Fitting the Flexi water pipes (Hot and Cold)
The Hot and Cold water feeds now require connecting to the bath plumbing, and will need to
follow the same route around the base frame that was taken by the waste flexi pipe.
The hot flexi pipe can be identified by a red cable tie, the cold flexi pipe by blue.
Using the push fit connectors at the end of the water flexi pipes, fit the flexi pipes to the
corresponding colour coded hard pipes on the bath.
Once the pipes have been correctly fitted, secure the flexi pipes to the cable tie mount positioned
at the tap end of the bath, near the S-trap.
