Make Electrical Connections; Test Run The Whirlpool - Kohler K-1109 Installation Manual

6. Make Electrical Connections

NOTE: The whirlpool model number is printed on a label near the whirlpool pump. This label also identifies the
electrical rating of the whirlpool.
WARNING: Risk of electrical shock. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, connect the pump to a properly
grounded, grounding-type receptacle protected by a Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter (GFCI). Do not remove
the plug's grounding pin. Do not use a grounding adapter.
- Your Kohler whirlpool bath is equipped with a cord and plug. All wiring of the pump and control has been
completed at the factory. A licensed electrician must install a GFCI-protected, 120 V, 15 A, grounded outlet. No
other load should be on this circuit. Locate the outlet behind the whirlpool, and within 24" (61cm) of the pump.
- Plug the pump into this outlet.
NOTE: Make sure the air actuator tubing is securely attached to the pump and actuator switch, and is not kinked
or damaged.
In-line Heater Wiring
- "H" Models: The in-line heater is equipped with a cord and plug. All wiring of the heater has been completed at
the factory. A licensed electrician must install a GFCI-protected, 120 V, 15 A, grounded outlet. No other load
should be on this circuit. Locate the outlet behind the whirlpool, and within 24" (61cm) of the heater.
- Plug the in-line heater into this outlet.

7. Test Run the Whirlpool

- Check all electrical connections, and make sure the electrical power to the whirlpool is turned on.
- Make sure all union connections to the pump are securely hand tightened.
- Verify that the pump banding straps have been cut.
- Fill the whirlpool to a level at least 2" (5cm) above the top of the highest jet.
- Operate the whirlpool for 5 minutes, and check all whirlpool piping connections for leaks.
