CAUTION: Operating the motor/pump without suffi-
cient water in the bath can cause leaking and perma-
nent damage to the pump. Before power is applied
to the installation, make sure the switch is in the OFF
position to avoid pump damage.

If installation of an optional timer is desired, refer to

wiring instructions provided with the timer. An optional
timer is available from Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath for 115
VAC operation.

Service Access

The recommended minimum dimensions for allow-

able service access to the bath is shown in the Service
Access illustration on this page.

For installation and removal of the skirt refer to the 5'

Shower Tower skirt installation and removal instruc-
tions.

Electrical Connections

A separate 115 VAC 15 AMP circuit, which must be

protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI),
is required. Because these units are manufactured with
a safe, convenient Magic Touch whirlpool ON/OFF
switch on the bath itself, no remote switch or timer is
necessary. Install a 115 VAC, 15 AMP duplex outlet to
the studwall underneath the bathtub, at least 4" above
the floor. Duplex outlet is not provided.
DANGER: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. Connect
only to a circuit protected by a Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter.
