2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
DANGER:
To reduce the risk of injury, DO NOT allow children to use
or operate the whirlpool unless closely supervised by an adult at all times.
Use this unit only for its intended purpose as described in this publication.
DO NOT
use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer.
NEVER
drop or insert any object into any opening.
To test the GFCI, push the test button. The GFCI should
interrupt power.
Push the reset button. Power should be restored.
DO NOT
operate the whirlpool without the guard(s) (suction covers)
installed over the suction fitting(s).
The whirlpool system can only be connected to an electrical supply
that is protected by a ground-fault-circuit-interrupter (GFCI).
The GFCI
should be provided by the installer and tested on a routine basis.
Bodywrap whirlpool systems are offered on
numerous MAAX models of various sizes,
shapes and surface materials. Depending
on the model selected, the unit is equipped
with a complete multi-jet factory installed
and tested system designed for personal
usage in a permanent installation. (Refer to
specific model for exact features.)
These guidelines are recommended by
MAAX Bath Inc. (hereafter “MAAX”) for
the proper assembly and operation of
the whirlpool system. A careful review of
these procedures (and any referenced
publications) before starting is important in
avoiding unnecessary problems resulting
in an improper assembly or operation.
It is the sole responsibility of the installer
to determine, prior to installation, the
requirements necessary for compliance
with all codes involving the unit and the
installation!
All paperwork packaged with the unit and
any associated options or accessories
should be saved and presented to the
homeowner upon completion of the
installation!
Any independent changes made to the
whirlpool system (or unit) beyond those
required for normal installation can void
all warranties! (Refer to warranties for
further information).
All published unit dimensions are for
reference only.
Any critical dimensions
required for installation should be
taken directly from the unit being
installed!
NOTE:
All drawings in this publication are
typical and may appear different than the
actual items.
Special Notes to Installer

If the GFCI fails to operate in this manner, there is a ground current
flowing, indicating the possibility of an electrical shock. DO NOT USE THE
WHIRLPOOL. DISCONNECT THE WHIRLPOOL SYSTEM, and have the
problem corrected by a qualified service representative before continuing
usage.

A pressure wire connector is present on many pumps (pumps that have
some exposed metal on the housing) to permit connection of a No. 8 AWG
(8.4 mm2) solid copper bonding conductor between the system and all
other electrical equipment and exposed metal in the vicinity, as needed to
comply with local requirements.
NOTE:
pumps and other electrical
components that have all plastic housings do not have or require this
bonding conductor and do not have a pressure wire connector on the
housing.
