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 pumps higher than they were before you cut the pump banding straps. If the
pumps are raised too high, they will not prime properly. Make sure the rubber isolation feet are in place.
To minimize whirlpool noise and vibration, be sure the pumps are 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.
NOTE: Check for the required clearance under the rim of the bath before drilling the hole for the faucet.
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.
