3. Install the Whirlpool
WARNING: Risk of personal injury. This cast iron whirlpool is extremely heavy. Obtain sufficient help to
carefully lift or move the product.
CAUTION: Risk of product damage. Do not lift the whirlpool by the piping or pump, or use the piping or
pump for structural support of the whirlpool.
- Carefully move the whirlpool into position. Insert the drain tailpiece into the trap.
- Level the whirlpool by fitting metal shims under the whirlpool feet as needed. Check for level along the top of the
whirlpool, and across the drain side. If the feet are not accessible from the back or side, move the whirlpool in and
out of position to shim it properly. Make sure the whirlpool is resting on all four feet.
4. 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 the whirlpool pump. When the banding straps are cut, the
pump base and pump will drop about 1/2" (1.3cm) until they rest on the subfloor. If the pump drops more than
1/2" (1.3cm), shim under the pump base so water will drain from the pump and the suction line when the
whirlpool is drained.
NOTE: Do not raise the pump higher than it was before you cut the pump banding straps. If the pump is raised
too high, it will not prime properly.
- To minimize whirlpool noise and vibration, be sure the pump is not in direct contact with the shipping bracket
after the pump banding straps are cut. The pump base contains rubber isolation feet to reduce pump noise.
