5. 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 from each whirlpool pump.
NOTE: Do not raise the pump higher than it was before you cut the pump banding straps. If the pump is
raised too high, the pump will not prime properly. Make sure the rubber isolation feet are in place.
To minimize whirlpool noise and vibration, be sure the pump is not in direct contact with the
whirlpool after the pump banding straps are cut. The pump controls contain rubber isolation feet to
reduce pump noise.
6. Install the Plumbing
CAUTION: Risk of property damage. Ensure a watertight seal on the whirlpool drain.
Connect the drain to the trap according to the drain manufacturer's instructions.
NOTICE: An access panel will simplify future maintenance.
Install the faucet valving according to the manufacturer's instructions. Do not install the faucet trim
until instructed.
Open the hot and cold water supplies.
Check the supply connection for leakage.
Run water into the whirlpool, and check the drain connections for leakage.
7. Install the Removable Pillows
CAUTION: Risk of product damage. Do not submerge the pillows underwater or use them as seat
cushions.
NOTE: For best attachment to the whirlpool surface, moisten the back surface of the pillows at the suction
cup locations.
Clean the whirlpool surface of any soap film or oils. Moisten the suction cups located on the back
side of the pillows. Position the small pillows above the backjets and above the waterline by
pressing down firmly with the heel of your hand. Check to make sure that the pillows are attached
firmly to the whirlpool.
Detach the pillows by lifting them off the whirlpool surface.
