SYSTEM ASSEMBLY AND
OPERATION GUIDE
BODYWRAP SYSTEM
®
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
Aker Plastics Company 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.
NOTE:
All drawings in this publication are
typical and may appear different than the
actual items.

WARNING! Basic precautions should always be observed regarding the
installation and the operation of a whirlpool system, including
the following:
1.
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
.
2. 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.
3.
Use this unit only for its intended purpose as described in this publication.
DO NOT
use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer.
4. NEVER
drop or insert any object into any opening.
5. DO NOT
operate the whirlpool without the guard(s) (suction covers) installed
over the suction fitting(s).
6. The whirlpool system can only be connected to an electric 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.
!
!
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 THE
WHIRLPOOL. DISCONNECT THE WHIRLPOOL SYSTEM, and have the
problem corrected by a qualified service representative before continuing
usage.
7.
A green colored terminal (or a wire connector marked "G", "GR", "Ground",
or "Grounding") is provided inside the terminal compartment of the pump. To
reduce the risk of electrical shock, connect this terminal to the grounding
terminal in the electrical service supply panel using a continuous green
insulated copper wire equivalent in size to the service conductors supplying
this equipment, but no smaller than No.12 AWG (3.3 mm).
8.
A pressure wire connector on the pump, near the terminal compartment, is
provided 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.
