NOTE: The product model number is printed on a label on the pump side of the whirlpool bath. This
label also identifies the electrical rating of the product. All whirlpools come equipped with a wiring
junction box and are designed to operate between 220 V and 240 V at either 50 Hz or 60 Hz.
WARNING: Risk of electrical shock. Make sure the power has been disconnected before
performing the following procedures.
WARNING: Risk of electrical shock. Connect the pump to a properly grounded Ground-Fault
Circuit-Interrupter (GFCI) or Residual Current Device (RCD). This will provide additional
protection against line-to-ground shock hazard. A 220-240 V, 20 A, 50/60 Hz dedicated circuit is
required.
IMPORTANT! The load neutral is not used. There should be no connection to the load neutral terminal
on the Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter (GFCI) breaker. The green wire with the yellow stripe is the
equipment ground and needs to be connected to the neutral bus in the main circuit breaker box.
NOTE: The wiring harness includes an antenna for the optional remote control. Do not alter or damage
this antenna during installation.
Connect service to the junction box. The junction box contains blue, brown, and green with a yellow
stripe colored wires and a ground lug
