10. Troubleshooting Procedures

Remove the Factory Installed Jet
NOTE: A special tool is provided with the replacement jet that will allow you to remove the jet from the whirlpool. The tool is
also packed with each trim kit.
- Position the jet ball nozzle so it is pointing upward.
- Insert the removal tool, hooked end up, into the opening of the jet and hook the inside top of the nozzle.
- Grasp the tool firmly and place your thumb against the bath wall. Pull on the jet assembly until it pulls from the hole. Be
careful not to lose the O ring.
NOTE: The nozzle must remain pointed up or the tool will slip off.
Re-install the Jets
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.
