usage in a permanent installation. (Refer to
specific model for exact features.)
These guidelines are recommended by
MAAX Bath Inc. (hereafter "MAAX") for
the proper assembly and operation of
the whirlpool system. A careful review of
these procedures (and any referenced
publications) before starting is important in
avoiding unnecessary problems resulting
in an improper assembly or operation.

DO NOT use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer.
NEVER drop or insert any object into any opening.

5. DO NOT operate the whirlpool without the guard(s) (suction covers)
installed over the suction fitting(s).
6. The whirlpool system can only be connected to an electrical supply
that is protected by a ground-fault-circuit-interrupter (GFCI). The GFCI
should be provided by the installer and tested on a routine basis.
If the GFCI fails to operate in this manner, there is a ground current
flowing, indicating the possibility of an electrical shock. DO NOT USE THE
WHIRLPOOL. DISCONNECT THE WHIRLPOOL SYSTEM, and have the
problem corrected by a qualified service representative before continuing
usage.
7.
A pressure wire connector is present on many pumps (pumps that have
some exposed metal on the housing) to permit connection of a No. 8 AWG
(8.4 mm2) solid copper bonding conductor between the system and all
other electrical equipment and exposed metal in the vicinity, as needed to
comply with local requirements. NOTE: pumps and other electrical
components that have all plastic housings do not have or require this
bonding conductor and do not have a pressure wire connector on the
housing.
