4. Install the Whirlpool
WARNING: Risk of personal injury. This cast iron whirlpool is extremely heavy. Obtain sufficient help
to carefully lift and move it.
CAUTION: Risk of product damage. Do not lift the whirlpool by the piping or pump, or use the
piping or pump for structural support of the whirlpool.
CAUTION: Risk of product damage. Do not support the whirlpool by the rim.
Carefully move the whirlpool into position. Insert the drain tailpiece into the trap.
Level the whirlpool by fitting metal shims under the whirlpool feet as needed. Check for level along
the top of the whirlpool, and across the drain side. If the feet are not accessible from the back or
side, move the whirlpool in and out of position to shim it properly. Make sure the whirlpool is
resting on all four feet.
5. Cut the Pump Banding Straps
IMPORTANT! This step is necessary to make your Kohler whirlpool operate more quietly.
Use tin snips to cut the two pump banding straps from the whirlpool pump.
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. Make sure the rubber isolation feet are in place.
To minimize whirlpool noise and vibration, be sure the pump is not in direct contact with the
shipping bracket after the pump banding straps are cut. The pump control contains rubber isolation
feet to reduce pump noise.
