WARNING: Risk of electrical shock. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, connect the pump and in line heater (if heater
option included) to properly grounded, grounding type receptacles protected by Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters
(GFCI's). Do not remove the plugs' grounding pins. Do not use grounding adapters.
Pump Wiring
NOTE: The whirlpool model number is printed on a label near the whirlpool pump. This label also identifies the electrical
rating of the whirlpool.
- 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 is not kinked or damaged.
- If a K 1639 Timer Kit will be used, install it now according to the instructions packed with the timer kit.
