B.
INTEGRAL FLANGE MODELS
1.
Drill a pilot hole through the nailing-in flange at each
stud.
2.
Add shims between the nailing-in flange and the
studs as needed to eliminate gaps.
3.
Nail 1/4" thick furring strips to the wall studs to shim
out to the edge of the nailing-in flange. Install
water-resistant wall material as required.
C. PUMP BANDING STRAP CUT
NOTICE: This step is necessary to make your
Kohler whirlpool operate more quietly.
1.
Use tin snips to cut the two banding straps. These
banding
straps
secure
bath-mounted shipping bracket. When the banding
straps are cut, the support bracket and pump will
drop about 1/2" until they rest on the subfloor. If the
pump drops more than 1/2", be sure the proper
pitch is maintained (with shims under the motor) to
allow the pump to drain through the suction line
when the whirlpool is drained.
2.
If the subfloor is level, no adjustments to the pump
are necessary. Proceed to Step 3. If the subfloor is
not level, slide plywood shims between the support
bracket and the subfloor, but only high enough to
allow water to drain out the suction line when the
bath is drained.
NOTE: Do not raise the pump higher than it was before
you cut the banding straps. If the pump is raised too high,
it may not prime properly.
3.
To minimize pump noise and vibration, be sure the
pump is not in direct contact with the shipping
bracket after the banding straps are cut. Secure the
support bracket to the subfloor with screws or lag
screws (not provided).
