B. PUMP BANDING STRAP CUT

NOTICE: This step is necessary to make your

Kohler whirlpool operate more quietly.

1. Use tin snips to cut the two banding straps. These

banding straps secure the pump to the

whirlpool-mounted shipping bracket. When the

banding straps are cut, the pump base and pump

will drop about 1/2” until they rest on the subfloor. If

the pump drops more than 1/2”, be sure the proper

pitch is maintained (with shims under the motor) to

allow the pump to drain through the suction line

when the whirlpool is drained.

2. If the subfloor is level, no adjustments to the pump

are necessary. Proceed to Step 3. If the subfloor is

not level, slide plywood shims between the pump

base and the subfloor, but only high enough to allow

water to drain out the suction line when the bath is

drained.

NOTE: Do not raise the pump higher than it was before

you cut the banding straps. If the pump is raised too high,

it may not prime properly.

3. To minimize bath noise and vibration, be sure the

pump is not in direct contact with the shipping

bracket after the banding straps are cut. The pump

base contains rubber isolation feet to reduce pump

noise and vibration.

C. INSTALL PLUMBING

CAUTION: Risk of damage to bath bottom and

subfloor. Ensure a watertight seal on the bath

drain connections.

1. When the bath is securely positioned, connect the

drain to the trap.

NOTE: An access panel will simplify future mainte-

nance.

2. Open hot and cold valves and check all supply

connections for leaks.

3. Run water into the bath, and check the drain

connections for leaks.
