4. Install the Whirlpool

WARNING: Risk of personal injury. This cast iron whirlpool is extremely heavy. Obtain sufficient

help to carefully lift and move it.

CAUTION: Risk of product damage. Do not lift the whirlpool by the piping or pump, or use the

piping or pump for structural support of the whirlpool.

CAUTION: Risk of product damage. Do not support the whirlpool by the rim.

Carefully move the whirlpool into position. Insert the drain tailpiece into the trap.

Level the whirlpool by ﬁtting metal shims under the whirlpool feet as needed. Check for level along

the top of the whirlpool, and across the drain side. If the feet are not accessible from the back or

side, move the whirlpool in and out of position to shim it properly. Make sure the whirlpool is

resting on all four feet.

5. Cut the Pump Banding Straps

IMPORTANT! This step is necessary to make your Kohler whirlpool operate more quietly.

Use tin snips to cut the two pump banding straps from the whirlpool pump.

NOTE: Do not raise the pump higher than it was before you cut the pump banding straps. If the pump is

raised too high, it will not prime properly. Make sure the rubber isolation feet are in place.

To minimize whirlpool noise and vibration, be sure the pump is not in direct contact with the

shipping bracket after the pump banding straps are cut. The pump control contains rubber isolation

feet to reduce pump noise.

6. Install the Plumbing

CAUTION: Risk of property damage. Ensure a watertight seal on the whirlpool drain.

Connect the drain to the trap according to the drain manufacturer’s instructions.

NOTICE: An access panel will simplify future maintenance.

Install the faucet valving according to the faucet manufacturer’s instructions. Do not install the

faucet trim until instructed. Open the hot and cold water supplies, and check the supply

connections for leakage.

Run water into the whirlpool, and check the drain connections for leakage.

If your whirlpool requires grip rails, install them now according to the installation instructions

packed with the grip rails.
