Installation Guide

8. Cut the Pump Banding Straps
IMPORTANT! This step is necessary to make your whirlpool operate more quietly.
NOTE: Do not raise the pump higher than it was before you cut the pump banding straps. If the pump is
raised too high, it will not prime properly.
Use tin snips to cut the two pump banding straps from the whirlpool pump. Discard the banding
straps.
After the pump banding straps are cut, ensure that the pump is not in direct contact with the
whirlpool harness.

CAUTION: Risk of property damage. Ensure a watertight seal on the whirlpool drain.
Connect the drain to the trap according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Temporarily install the faucet handles and spout according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
