9. Install the Whirlpool Trim Kit
Install the whirlpool trim kit according to the instructions packed with the trim kit. Pay particular
attention to the jet installation steps below - they are very important and are included here to help
you obtain smooth, trouble-free jet operation.
NOTE: The jet O-ring must be correctly positioned, must be lubricated, and must be in good condition to
permit easy rotation and proper operation of the jet.
Install the O-ring onto the first shoulder of the jet. Lubricate the O-ring with silicone lubricant to
prevent noisy operation of the jet.
Carefully insert the jet into the housing, and lightly push and rotate the jet until it snaps into
position. Do not force the jet.
NOTE: When installed correctly, the jet should turn smoothly both clockwise and counterclockwise.
10. Install the Neckjet Pillow (″-N1″ Series Only)
The whirlpool is supplied with one pillow and two slip covers. The pillow includes a built-in
magnetic reed switch. The neckjets will not operate unless the pillow is installed. Always use a slip
cover to prevent water from spraying from the whirlpool.
Choose a slip cover, and fit it over the pillow.
Carefully slide the pillow down onto the neckjet body grooves until it is secure. The neckjets are
now ready for use.
We recommend periodic cleaning of the slip cover. Follow the cleaning instructions on the label
attached to the slip cover.
11. Test Run the Whirlpool
Check all electrical connections, and make sure the electrical power to the whirlpool is turned on.
Make sure all union connections to the pump and heater are securely hand tightened.
Verify that the pump banding straps have been cut, and that the pump control is resting directly on
the subfloor. Ensure that the rubber isolation feet are in place.
Fill the whirlpool to a level at least 2″ (5.1 cm) above the top of the highest jet.
Operate the whirlpool for 5 minutes (refer to the ″Operating Sequence″ section) and check all
whirlpool piping connections, on the back side, for leaks.
