WaRNINg:
Verify the electrical service to match either the 120v or
240v systems. Refer to the blower label for voltage and frequency
requirements.
NOtE:
The bath is designed for indoor use only. The electrical
equipment must not be exposed to direct or indirect water
or moisture contact. The electrical equipment must also be
protected from dust and other airborne debris before, during,
and after installation.
1,
Electrical Service:
A licensed electrician must provide the
electrical service protected by a dedicated GFCI (Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupter). The location of the GFCI must
be at least five (5) feet away from the inside surface
of the bath, accessible for regular testing.
uSE COPPER
CONDuCtORS ONlY.
WaRNINg:
The electrical service to the GFCI must not
be interrupted by any control device. Likewise, the
electrical service from the GFCI to the bath control should
be direct and not interrupted by a switch. Never use a
switch in conjunction with a control device. This will VOID
THE MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY.
2. GrOunDInG Is reQuIreD.
The unit should be installed by a qualified service
representative and properly grounded.
3.
Standard Equipment.
The Integrity
TM
AirMasseur
®
system
comes equipped with a heated air blower, an air switch
control box, air switch tubing, and a color coordinated air
actuator. The air switch control must be plugged into a
dedicated 120v(volt), 20 A (amp), 60Hz (hertz) circuit with
a service ground. The air switch tubing must be firmly
attached to the air switch control box and to the air switch
actuator. A small bead of silicone may be added to the
air tubing connections to help prevent the tubing from
disengaging.The air switch tubing must also be installed
to allow for a “drop loop” see
figure 3
on page 3. This will
prevent any moisture from entering the air switch control
box from the tubing. Finally, the blower will plug into the
control box.
4.
Control box.
The blower is pre-wired with a 36” cord with a
NEMA plug end. The air switch control box and tubing is
temporarily secured to the bath’s plumbing for shipping.
During installation the tubing must be attached to the bath’s
air switch actuator and the air switch control box. The air
switch control box should be relocated to its dedicated
circuit outlet. Connect only to a dedicated Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protected, 120v (volt), 20A (amp),
60Hz (hertz) circuit with a service ground.
DaNgER — RISK Of ElECtRIC ShOCK:
Connect only to
a circuit protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
(GFCI). In the unlikely occurrence of a current imbalance
in the power conductors, the GFCI will interrupt the power
to the bath.
INSTALL SERVICE CONNECTION AT LEAST 6” ABOVE
THE SUB FLOOR
.
The air switch control box is intended
to be installed in a dry area and is for indoor use only.
DaNgER:
Do not alter the factory installed wiring.
All
building materials and wiring should be routed
away from the blower body or other heat-producing
components of the unit.

bE ObSERVED.
Where there are no local codes the
National
Electric Code (NEC)
and
uniform Plumbing Code (uPC)

CleanInG
1.
Remove all loose debris.
Construction plaster or excess
grout can be removed with the use of a wooden-edged
trowel.
2.
Paint or tar stains
can be removed with paint thinner,
turpentine, or isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol). Never
allow the cleaner to soak against the acrylic surface for long
periods of time. For general acrylic-surface cleaning, refer
to the USER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS section
on page 6.
always rinse the surface immediately
following
the use of cleaners.
NOtE:
Follow the manufacturers instructions for safe use
of cleaning products. If the surface becomes scratched
or dulled, it may be restored by using a quality plastic
polish, like Novus Plastic Polish No. 2 (available from
the Jason Dealer).
It is always preferable to protect the
acrylic surface during installation to minimize cleanup and
prevent surface damage.
waTer TesTInG
Before
finishing the installation, it is recommended that the
bath be water tested and the plumbing tested for leaks.
1.
before water testing the bath, make sure that the
air actuator
hose is securely engaged into the bathside air actuator
and into the controls air switch.
2.
fill and operate the bath.
Close the drain and fi
ll the bath
with water to at least ten inches below the bath deck. The
incoming water temperature should not exceed 104°F
(40°C).
3. Momentarily depress the Air Switch to start the blower.
4.
Inspect the plumbing for leaks.
5.
turn the blower Off and then drain the water.
The bath unit
and its plumbing are designed to drain after each use,
whether used as an AirMasseur
®
or as a soaking bath.
