Installation Guide

2. Install the Whirlpool
WARNING: Risk of personal injury. This cast iron whirlpool is extremely heavy. Obtain sufficient
help to carefully lift and move it.
NOTICE: Do not lift the whirlpool by the piping or pump, or use the piping or pump for structural
support of the whirlpool. To avoid damage to the whirlpool, lift at the sides of the whirlpool.
NOTICE: Do not support the whirlpool by the rim.
Carefully move the whirlpool into position.
Level the whirlpool by fitting metal shims under the feet as needed. Check for level along the rim.
Make sure the whirlpool is resting on all four feet.
Cut the Pump Banding Straps
IMPORTANT! This step is necessary to make the whirlpool operate more quietly.
Cut the two pump banding straps from the whirlpool pump.
NOTE: Do not raise the pump higher than it was before cutting the straps. If the pump is raised too high,
it will not prime properly. Make sure the rubber isolation feet are in place.
