SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: Risk of personal injury. Do not permit children to use this unit without adult supervision.

WARNING: Risk of personal injury. Do not operate this unit without the guard over the suction fitting.

WARNING: Risk of electric shock. Do not permit electrical appliances (hair dryer, telephone, radio, etc.) within

60 inches (1524mm) of this unit.

WARNING: Risk of hyperthermia and possible drowning. People using medications and/or having adverse

medical history should consult a physician before using this product.

WARNING: Risk of personal injury. Do not overfill unit before entering. Entering tub when filled more than 2/3

can cause overflow and slippery conditions. Exercise caution when entering and exiting.

WARNING: No Food or Alcoholic Beverages. Use of your bathtub immediately after meals is not

recommended. Avoid alcohol consumption before or during bathing. Alcoholic beverages can cause drowsiness or

hyperthermia resulting in loss of consciousness or even drowning.

WARNING: Pregnancy. If you are or think you may be pregnant, consult your physician before using the bathtub.

Never drop or insert any object into any opening.

Use this unit only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use any attachments not recommended by

American Standard.

The unit must be connected only to a supply circuit that is properly protected by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter

(GFCI). Such a GFCI should be provided by the installer and should be tested on a routine basis. To test the GFCI,

push the test button. The GFCI should interrupt power. Push the reset button. Power should be restored. If the GFCI

fails to operate in this manner, the GFCI is defective. If the GFCI interrupts power to the bathtub without the test button

being pushed, a ground current is flowing, indicating the possibility of an electric shock. Do not use this hydromassage

bathtub. Disconnect the hydromassage bathtub and have the problem corrected by a licensed electrician before using.

A pressure wire connector is provided on the exterior of the motor unit to permit connection of a no. 8 AWG solid

copper bonding conductor between this unit and all other electrical equipment and exposed metal in the vicinity, as

needed to comply with local requirements. To reduce the risk of an electric shock, connect this connector the

grounding terminal of your electric service or supply panel with a conductor equivalent in size to the circuit conductors

supplying this unit.

General Installation Information

Carefully uncrate and inspect your new bath for any shipping damage. If such damage is found, report it to your

vendor immediately. After inspection and during installation, protect the bath from construction damage. Before

installation, and before enclosing with wallboard, tile, etc., the bath must be filled with water and operated to

check for leaks that may have resulted from shipping damage or mishandling ! Do not make modifications to

the whirlpool system or remove pump from factory mounting. This could adversely affect the safety and performance

of the whirlpool and void the warranty. Do not handle or move the whirlpool by the pump, motor, or piping system.

Fittings (bath filler, shower arm, etc.) are not provided with the bath and must be ordered separately. Framing and

enclosing materials are provided by others.

For electrical requirements, refer to section titled “Whirlpool Electrical Installation Instructions”.

Check for availability of optional American Standard wall tiling bead (required for recess installation).

Protect all finished surfaces of the whirlpool during construction and installation using a drop cloth.

INSTALLATION AND FRAMING INSTRUCTIONS

The variety of installations possible for this whirlpool may require framing procedures other than those shown. Locate studs as needed. Ensure

roughing-in dimensions are proper, plumb and square. Provisions must be made in all installations for an access opening for servicing the pump

and controls. It is strongly recommended that an additional opening be provided for access to the drain components. The apron should not be used

as the primary access opening.

TYPICAL INSTALLATION

FIGURE 1

This bath must be supported along its entire bottom. Use mortar as bedding

material (do not use sand or foam). Apply enough mortar to support the complete

bottom of the bath. After the mortar has been poured, and before it sets, position

whirlpool or bath within recess until the rim is leveled against the leveling stringers (see

"Typical Recess Installation") shown below.

The rim of the bath must not support weight. Allow the mortar material to completely

harden before applying weight to the rim or bottom of the bath. Any finish material such

as tile or wall board must be self-supporting if it contacts the deck of the bath.

Replace whirlpool and re-shim the integral support feet, shimming the entire length of

the support feet. Secure the shims using construction adhesive, silicone, mortar or

equivalent materials. While not a necessity, the use of a foundation base consisting of

cement, mortar, or grout will help provide a solid and secure installation.

3. Install drain components to the whirlpool following the drain installation instructions. Before

replacing your whirlpool for final installation, be certain that an opening has been provided in

the sub-floor for the drain. See the roughing-in drawing and Ta ble 1 for suggested opening

size (shadowed) and location dimensions. The drain/overflow of the bath extends below the

bottom of the bath. Note that this requires a cutout in the floor.

The floor structure beneath the bath must be able to support a total weight of bath, water, and

bather. Refer to Ta ble 1 under total weight for your model.

For Models:

2425L/V-LHO and 2425L/V-RHO;

For Models:

2645L/V, 2771L/V, 2422L/V and 7236L/V;

2. Remove the whirlpool and attach a 1 x 4 stringer to the studs, with the top of the stringer touching the traced line.

The rim of the bath must not support weight.

1. Position the whirlpool into the installation opening and level the deck in both directions, shimming the integral support feet IF necessary.

Mark the final position of the underside of the deck by tracing a line on to the studs (see Figure 1).

Refer to the schematics below for the combination tub electrical installation. Note that two separate 15A circuits with

GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) protection are required.

At initial start-up with the power ON, push the GFCI test button. The reset button should pop out. Push this button in to

reset. If the GFCI fails to operate in this manner, there is a ground fault or malfunction, indicating the possibility of

electrical shock. Turn of the power and do not use until the source of the problem has been identifed and corrected.
