TROUBLE SHOOTING PUMP/MOTOR
READ BEFORE INSTALLATION AND/OR USE – IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO A RISK OF FIRE
MOTOR WON'T START
1. Read and follow all instructions
1. Check to see if on/off switch or pneumatic
switch is in "on" mode.
2. DANGER: To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this unit unless they
are closely supervised at all times.
2. Check for loose connections, blown circuit
breakers, GFI or fuses.
3. Infants should not be permitted in the whirlpool at water temperatures over 100˚
Fahrenheit and only with prior medical consultation and permission from your doctor.
3. With the power off at the circuit breaker, check
manually to see that the motor shaft has free
movement and lacks obstruction.
4. Pregnant women and persons suffering from heart disease, diabetes, or high or low blood
pressure should not enter the whirlpool tub without prior medical consultation and
permission from their doctor.
MOTOR CUTS OUT/STOPS
1. Turn GFI breaker off. Check for loose
wiring/connections.
5. For your first whirlpool bath, start with a short duration of five minutes. You can increase
the time intervals as your body's tolerance adjusts. However, do not use longer than 15
minutes at any one time.
2. Check for low voltage at the motor (frequently
caused by undersized wire).
NOTE: Pumps equipped with automatic reset
overload protectors and solid state electronics
and switches aredesigned to eliminate failures
caused by mechanical switches and governors.
6. High water temperatures and prolonged periods of use can raise internal human body
temperature excessively and impair the body's ability to regulate its internal temperature.
7. Check whirlpool before use. Maximum safe temperature is 104˚ Fahrenheit (40˚ Celsius).
8. Observe reasonable time limits to avoid nausea, dizziness, and fainting.
9. Do not direct the water spray to the following body areas in these instances:
MOTOR HUMS BUT DOES NOT START
1. Turn GFI breaker off. Check for binding of the
motor shaft or obstruction in pump. Manually
rotate motor shaft to see that shaft turns freely.
A. Any area of the body that is swollen, burned, inflamed or where skin eruptions or
ulcerated sores are present.
2. Check for low voltage and undersized gauge
of wire.
PUMP WON'T PUMP
B. Any area of the body that is sore unless approved by your doctor.
C. The abdomen when pain is present.
1. Open air control valve to release any possible
air lock.
D. Legs with varicose veins.
2. Make sure all suction and discharge lines and
return port are clear and unobstructed.
E. Calves of legs with unexplained pain.
3. Check to see that water is at high enough level
for pump to prime.
10. Keep body, hair, and clothing a maximum of 12 inches away from the suction fitting at all
times when whirlpool is operating. Do not operate the unit without the guard over the
suction fitting.
4. Check for air leak in the suction line - slightly
loosen pump union connector and then
re-tighten (by hand).
11. Do not use whirlpool while under the influence of alcohol or narcotics.
12. Enter and exit tub slowly.
5. Check for obstructions in the piping system.
LOW FLOW
13. Do not use electrically connected devices such as televisions, radios, stereo speakers,
lights, cooking devices, hair dryers, telephones, or other electrical appliances within five
feet of the whirlpool tub.
1. Turn GFI breaker off. Check for any
obstructions in pump that impede impeller.
2. Check for low voltage - undersized gauge
of wire.
14. Use this unit only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use
attachments not recommended by the manufacturer.
3. Check suction line for obstructions and/or
air leaks.
4. Check for obstruction in discharge line.
15. Never drop or insert any object into any opening.
16. Keep all breakable objects out of area.
NOISY PUMP
1. Check for air leak in suction line which can
cause “rumbling” sound.
17. All electrical supply circuits providing the electrical power source to be connected to the
whirlpool bath should be checked, installed, and inspected by a licensed electrician and
inspected by the Building Code Authority having jurisdiction at the installation location
upon installation and prior to use of the whirlpool bath.
2. Check for “cavitation” caused by an obstructed
or under sized suction line.
WATER LEAK
18. The unit must be connected only to a supply circuit that is protected by a ground-fault
circuit-interruptor (GFCI). Such a GFCI should be provided by the installer and should be
tested on a routine basis. If GFCI fails to operate properly there may be a ground current
flowing, indicating the possibility of an electric shock. Do not use this unit. Disconnect the
unit and have the problem corrected by a qualified service representative before using.
1. Turn GFI breaker off.
Check union connectors:
a) Be sure they are tight - hand tighten only.
b) Inspect O-ring to be sure it is properly
seated and not damaged.
2. Turn GFI breaker off.
Water between pump housing and motor:
a) Check the rotary seal to be sure it is clean
and without contamination on surface.
b) Check seal to see if it is worn or damaged
- replace seal if necessary.
19. A green colored terminal is provided within the terminal compartment. To reduce the risk
of shock, connect this terminal to the grounding terminal of your electric service or supply
panel with a continuous green insulated copper wire equivalent in size to the circuit
conductors supplying this equipment, but no smaller than No. 12 AWG (3.3mm).
20. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

SCRATCH REMOVAL INSTRUCTIONS
1. For effective scratch removal and polishing, you will need to purchase these items:
1 sheet 1000 grit 3M® wet-dry sandpaper
1 sheet 1500 grit 3M® wet-dry sandpaper
1 sheet 2000 grit 3M® wet-dry sandpaper
1 small container of 3M® rubbing compound #05933
SUPERFICIAL
SCRATCH
2000 grit
These items can be purchased at most auto supply stores that provide supplies to
professional paint and body shops. Call before you go.
LIGHT SCRATCH
1500 - 2000 grit
Not all auto supply stores will have these items.
2. Start sanding with 2000 grit paper. Use small squares of paper about 2" x 2" for all
sanding and use lots of water. The water serves as both a lubricant and to prevent residue
buildup on the paper. Residue buildup shortens the effective life of the paper and may
scratch the surface you are trying to polish.
MEDIUM SCRATCH
1000 - 2000 grit
3. 2000 grit paper is the finest grit available (the higher the number, the finer the grit). If you
can’t remove all of the scratches with 2000 grit, switch to 1500 grit. Remember to wash
the paper frequently with water as you sand.
4. If all of the scratches cannot be removed with 1500 grit, switch to 1000 grit. This should
remove most fine scratches. If you have deep scratches or a gouge, coarser paper may
have to be used (see chart to right). Be careful! Using grit that is too coarse may actually
put in more scratches than it removes.
DEEP GOUGE
600 - 2000 grit
5. Once you have removed all of the scratches by sanding the finest paper possible, repeat
the sanding process using successively finer grits of paper until you have once again
sanded with 2000 grit.
SCRATCH / SANDPAPER GUIDE
6. Now use 3M® rubbing compound #05933 on a soft, damp cloth. Polish using considerable
pressure to produce a smooth, shiny finish.
