Suboor
Prepare the suboor for the drain and ensure that the area is level.
1. The drain/overow of the bathtub extends below the bottom of the bathtub. The Technical Specications can be found
at www.jacuzzi.com/baths/support/.
2. Make appropriate cuts to the suboor to accommodate the drain.
3. The Jacuzzi Tru-Level® base is a standard feature on all bathtubs. If the suboor is level and a continuous surface, no
other preparation is necessary. Proceed to the “Electrical Connections” section.
4. If the suboor is not level, you must level the entire surface prior to installing the bathtub. The materials used will
insure that the bathtub is supported from the bottom. These materials include: leveling compound, mortar, plaster or
minimal expansion structural foam (having a density of a minimum 5 lbs/cubic foot). The bathtub must remain level in
order for it to drain properly and must make contact with the leveling material. Both sides of a joint or splice of suboor
should be level to each other.
Electrical Connections
DANGER: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK! Connect only to a
circuit protected by a GFCI (Figure 3).
CAUTION! Electrical outlet must be mounted 4" (101 mm) above the oor
line and 12" max (305 mm) inside from the edge of the bathtub (Figure 3), or in
accordance with local building and electrical codes.
CAUTION! Risk of component overheat. Do not use electric extension
cord to power this unit. Operating the pump without enough water in the bathtub
can cause permanent damage to the pump/motor.
If the GFCI unit indicates a malfunction, per manufacturer’s instructions, turn
OFF power and do not attempt to use the bathtub until the source of the problem
has been identied and corrected.
NOTES: When using electrical products, basic precautions should always be
followed. Always follow local building and electrical codes. Grounding is required.
The unit should be installed and grounded by a qualied electrician.
CANADIAN MODELS ONLY: The components must be hard wired in the
J-Boxes (supplied) that are located on the unit.
