support of the whirlpool. To avoid damage to the whirlpool, lift at the sides of the whirlpool.

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

Cut the Pump Banding Straps
IMPORTANT! This step is necessary to make the whirlpool operate more quietly.
