STEP 1:
RECEIVE AND UNCRATE BATHTUB UNIT
1. Inspect the packaging for damage that looks like it may affect the contents before
accepting it from the carrier. Note any damage on the freight bill.
2. Uncrate the tub, inspect it for damage. If damage is found, file a claim with the carrier
immediately.
3. Remove the screws that hold the tub to the pallet.
4. The access panels are held on by magnets. Remove these by pulling at the finger cut-out
at the bottom of the panel and store them in a safe place until tub installation is complete.
Continue with Steps 2 –4 on pages 4 –6.
WARNING
— When using electrical products, basic precautions should always be
followed, including the following:
•
DANGER:
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.
Connect only to a circuit protected
by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter. 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, the GFCI is defective. If
the GFCI interrupts power to the bathtub without the test button being pushed, it
means a ground current is flowing, indicating the possibility of an electric shock. If
this occurs, do not use the bathtub. Disconnect the bathtub and have the problem
corrected by a qualified service representative before using.
•
Grounding is required. The unit should be installed by a qualified service
representative and grounded.
•
A qualified service technician must perform all electrical wiring, service and repair in
accordance with all applicable local and national codes. Failure to do so may pose
an electrical hazard.
•
For bathtubs with water, air or microbubble jet systems, you must have at least one
20 amp /120 volt circuit available.
•
The power cord
must
be plugged into the appropriate receptacle behind the unit
skirting/access panels.
•
Before making any electrical connections, make certain that the electrical power is
turned
off
at the breaker and take measures to ensure it
cannot
accidentally be
turned back on.
•
Building materials and wiring should be routed away from the blower or heat
producing components of the system to prevent the risk of heat damage or fire.
