instructed. Open the hot and cold water supplies, and check the supply connections for leaks.
- Run water into the whirlpool, and check the drain connections for leaks.
- If your whirlpool requires grip rails, install them now according to the installation instructions packed with the
grip rails.

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, 20 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.
