A carelful check of the whirlpool system

     Alternate pump location,
refer to the Supplemental Assembly

Basic Whirlpool System Check

>  Check to be certain the air hose is 
    secured to the on/off button and to the
    whirlpool pump. It is possible that during
    shipping and handling this air hose may
    become loose. This hose must be
    firmly in place on both the on/off button
    and pump-motor, otherwise the pump
    will not start.

>  Check for factory installed in-line heater
    option mounted on pump.

Framing and Installation Requirements

Framing and dimensional requirements for
clearance of whirlpool fittings are included in
the installation guidelines with the basic unit. 
Refer to clearance information for optional 
components if present. This information is
provided in supplimental documents 
provided with the whirlpool packaging.

>  Check system to ensure all trim is in
    place and for finish color ordered.

The basic whirlpool system is produced with
the pump secured to the unit base and the
complete system assembled at the factory.
