INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Please refer to pages 12 - 14 of this manual for installation schematics.
WARNING:
When using electrical products, basic precautions should always be followed,
including the following:
1.
DANGER:
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.
The unit MUST be connected only to a supply circuit that is
protected by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI). Such a GFCI should be provided by the installer
and should be tested on a routine basis. To test the GFCI, push the test button. The GFCI should
interrupt power. Push the reset button. Power should be restored. If the GFCI fails to operate in this
manner, the GFCI is defective. If the GFCI interrupts power to the bathtub without the test button
being pushed, a ground current is flowing, indicating the possibility of an electric shock. Do not use
this hydromassage bathtub. Disconnect the hydromassage bathtub and have the problem corrected
by a qualified service representative before using.
2. Grounding is required. The unit should be installed by a qualified service representative and
grounded.
3. (For built-in and custom units) Install to permit access for servicing.
4. You must have at least one 15 amp, 120 volt circuit available.
If you have the optional secondary air or water jet system, you must have two 15 amp 120 volt circuits.
5. The power cord MUST be plugged into the appropriate receptacle behind the unit skirting/access
panels.
6. A qualified service technician must perform all electrical wiring, service and repair in accordance
with all applicable local and national codes. Failure to do so may pose an electrical hazard.
7. Before making any electrical connections, make certain that the electrical power is turned OFF at
the breaker, and take measures to ensure that it CANNOT accidentally be turned on again.
8. Building materials and wiring should be routed away from the blower or heat producing components
of the system to prevent the risk of heat damage or fire.
9. For rough dimensions, see Installation Schematics on pages 12-14.
10. Make certain you have a flat surface that can support the combined weight of the tub, the water and
the user on the leveling feet.
11. The plumbing connections, hot, cold and the drain should be installed to local codes.
NOTE: The door drain assembly is attached at one end at the factory. Depending on the type of
waste/overflow the tub came with: either a brass saddle Tee at the other end of the tubing or a piece
of PVC pipe. The saddle Tee is to be installed between the drain shoe and the Tee so that the hole
in the short brass tubing and the saddle Tee are aligned. Do not over tighten the screws.

RECEIVING AND UNCRATING
1. Inspect the packaging for damage that looks like it may affect the contents before accepting it from
the carrier and note the damage on the freight bill.
2. Uncrate the tub, inspect it for damage. If damage is found, file a claim with the carrier immediately.
3. Remove the screws that hold the tub to the pallet.
4. The access panels are held on by magnets. Remove these by pulling at the finger cut-out at the
bottom of the panel and put them in a safe place until the installation is complete.
