7. Install the Whirlpool Trim Kit

- Install the whirlpool trim kit according to the instructions packed with the trim kit. Pay particular attention to the
jet installation steps below - they are very important and are included here to help you obtain smooth,
trouble-free jet operation.
NOTE: The jet O-ring must be correctly positioned, must be lubricated, and must be in good condition to permit
easy rotation and proper operation of the jet.
- Install the O-ring onto the first shoulder of the jet. Lubricate the O-ring with silicone lubricant to prevent noisy
operation of the jet.
- Carefully insert the jet into the housing, and lightly push and rotate the jet until it snaps into position. Do not
force the jet.
NOTE: When installed correctly, the jet should turn smoothly both clockwise and counterclockwise.
8. Install the Neckjet Pillow - - "-N1" Series Only
- The whirlpool is supplied with one pillow and two slip covers. The pillow includes a built-in magnetic reed
switch. The neckjets will not operate unless the pillow is installed. Always use a slip cover to prevent water from
spraying from the whirlpool.
- Choose a slip cover, and fit it over the pillow.
- Carefully slide the pillow down onto the neckjet body grooves until it is secure. The neckjets are now ready for
use.
- We recommend periodic cleaning of the slip cover. Follow the cleaning instructions on the label attached to the
slip cover.

9. 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 and heater are securely hand tightened.
- Verify that the pump banding straps have been cut, and that the pump control is resting directly on the subfloor.
- Fill the whirlpool to a level at least 2" (5cm) above the top of the highest jet.
- Operate the whirlpool for 5 minutes (refer to Operating Sequence on pages 10 or 11 ), and check all whirlpool
piping connections, on the back side, for leaks.
- For "-N1" Series models, turn on the neckjet feature. Check for any water leakage on the whirlpool's back side.
- For additional information on whirlpool operation, see Confirm Proper Operation on Page 10.
