Make Connections
WARNING: Risk of electric shock.
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, connect the pump only to
a properly installed Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter (GFCI). Do not remove the plug grounding
pin. Do not use a grounding adapter.
Verify that the air actuator tubing is securely attached to the pump and to the air switch button in
the whirlpool.
Make sure the tubing is not kinked or damaged, and that the tubing slips into place on adapters at
the switch and at the pump.
Visually inspect the whirlpool pump and piping harness for damage.
Verify that the bonding conductor is connected to the pump in accordance with the applicable
codes.
Plug the electrical cord into the GFCI outlet.

Verify that the pump banding straps have been cut.
Fill the whirlpool with water to at least 2
″
(51 mm) above the top of the highest jet.
