Setup Procedures

1. Set shower unit on a level surface. Unit must be level for plumbing discharge to operate properly.

2. Insure all shower water valves are in the full off position.

The sink shutoff valves are located under the sink in the vanity cabinet.

The hot water supply valve is located above the hot water heater.

3. Connect sewage discharge line to local sewage system.

4. Remove grounding rod from its storage location and install to grounding lug located below the unit load center. Rod should be inserted fully into the ground.

5. Install main water supply shutoff and check valve.

6. Connect city water line to local water source.

7. Insure all breakers located in the unit’s load center are in their off position.

Ensure all circuit breakers and the power source is switched off before making electrical connections. Ensure the electrical proper 120 VAC cable connectors are installed by a certified electrician Army MOS 21R.

8. Open load center door and remove breaker cover to provide access to main breaker.

9. Connect electrical power from local power source (insure electrical lines from the power source is in its off position).

CAUTION

This system is a 120/240 volt, 1 phase, 60 HZ system. Ensure 120 volt only is connected to line one and 120 volt only to line two (see label attached to the load center for connection instructions). Connection of incorrect voltage may cause damage to the unit’s electrical system.

10. Turn power on from local power source.

11. Once electrical power is connected, it is recommended that the unit be tested for proper voltage.

12. Reinstall breaker cover.

13. Turn on main breaker.
