Electrical:
1.
This unit must be connected 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, there is a ground current
flowing indicating the possibility of an electric shock. Do not use this unit. Disconnect the unit and have the electrical problem
corrected by a qualified service representative before using.
2.
Disconnect power before servicing.
3.
The motor is supplied with a 30”, 14 gauge U.L. approved pigtail. This pigtail is installed at the manufacturers facility and is factory tested
and should not be removed or altered under any circumstances. Removal or alteration of this pigtail will void the warranty. The green
lead of the pigtail is connected to the ground terminal inside the terminal compartment. To reduce the risk of electric shock, you must
ensure that your electric service or supply panel is properly grounded with a continuous green insulated copper wire equivalent in size to
the circuit conductors supplying this equipment, but no smaller than No. 12 AWG.
4.
A pressure ground connector is provided on the exterior of the terminal box within this unit to permit connection of a No. 8 AWG solid
copper bonding conductor between this unit and all other electrical equipment and exposed metal in the vicinity as needed to comply
with local requirements.
5.
Install to permit access for servicing (for built-in and custom units).
6.
Installer / Owner bears all responsibility to comply with all state and local codes when installing this product.
Testing:
Water test your unit prior to installation. Set the tub on a level surface where it can be drained after testing. Insert drain fitting and fill to
the overflow. Make sure all fittings, through walls and piping are water tight. While each unit is leak tested at the factory, the process of
shipping and handling may loosen joints. If there are leaks, mark the spot(s), drain and repair with GE Silicone Sealer (fiber glass
to PVC) or PVC cement (PVC to PVC). Repeat test when dry.
Rough-In:
Test fit the tub, and verify dimensions. Your Jetta bath should be installed in a bedding compound, preferably a mortar mix or thin set,
which should be distributed under the base to provide maximum support and even weight distribution. Do not use foam, sand or drywall
mud. When leveling, prepare a bed of moist mortar in the area where bath is to be installed. Place equally spaced mounds of bedding
compound, about one foot apart, 2” to 4” tall - this should be about the diameter of a three pound coffee tin (8”-10”). When the bottom of
the tub comes in contact with the bedding compound, it should compress the mounds to a 1” to 3” layer while the tub should lightly rest on
top of the tub deck. Once the bedding compound dries, all of the weight will be carried through the floor of the tub, not suspended by its
lip. Carefully level the unit, ensuring that uniform support is given to all areas of the base and that no portion of the lip is bearing weight.
DO NOT SUPPORT THE WEIGHT OF THE BATH BY THE RIM! Since your Jetta bath has a pre-leveled lip that accounts for the sloped
floor towards the drain. DO NOT REMOVE the 1” x 1” drain board attached to the bottom of the tub. It is recommended that plastic is
laid between the bedding compound and the bath, in case removal of the bath is ever necessary.
If the pump is removed for any reason, use only union connections to reattach. Do not overtighten. Make sure the O-rings on the pump are
in place. Hand tighten pump fittings. Do not use a wrench, channel locks, or pipe dope (teflon paste).
Pump must be located between 1/2” to 1 1/2” above suction fitting. Make sure suction line will drain from pump to bath. A minimum access
panel of 14” x 10” must be provided in case the pump or air blower needs to be serviced at a later date.
IMPORTANT: MANUFACTURER WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR THE REMOVAL OR RE-INSTALLATION OF THE BATHTUBI F THERE
IS A FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE MANU-FACTURERS RECOMMENDED PRE-INSTALLATION AND INSTALLATION
PROCEDURES, FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE MANUFACTURERS RECOMMENDATIONS COULD RESULT IN THE WARRANTY
BEING VOIDED.
