Cut The Pump Banding Straps - Kohler К-1643 Installation Manual

Drainage

3. Cut the Pump Banding Straps

IMPORTANT! This step is necessary to make your Kohler whirlpool operate more quietly.
- Use tin snips to cut the two pump banding straps. When the banding straps are cut, the pump support bracket and pump will
drop about 1/2" (1.3cm) until they rest on the subfloor. If the pump drops more than 1/2" (1.3cm), shim under the pump
support bracket so there is a 1/2" (1.3cm) gap between the pump and bracket to allow for proper drainage.
NOTE: Do not raise the pump higher than it was before you cut the pump banding straps. If the pump is raised too high, it
will not prime properly.
- To minimize whirlpool noise and vibration, be sure the pump is not in direct contact with the shipping bracket after the pump
banding straps are cut.
- Secure the pump support bracket to the subfloor with screws or lag bolts (not provided).
