INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: Do not start the unit if the cable or plug is damaged, or if there are
obvious, visible defects to the unit.
NOTE: USE TAP WATER TO FILL UNIT. IF YOU ARE IN A HARD WATER ENVIRONMENT WHERE DISTILLED
WATER IS PREFERRED, ADD ONE CUP OF TAP WATER TO EVERY GALLON OF
DISTILLED. UNIT WILL NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY IF DISTILLED WATER IS EXCLUSIVELY USED.
Initial Set Up
1Unpack the splint bath and place on a level surface that is
capable of bearing the bath and water load. Be sure there is
adequate space between the vent and wall for ventilation.
Make sure that all packaging materials are cleared from the
reservoir.
2Plug the Strava supplied power cord (do not use any other
power cord other than supplied by Strava) into the back
of the unit and a dedicated wall receptacle. (Protective
Earthing - a dedicated electrical circuit is required). Fill the
reservoir with water just above the water sensor
(approximately 2”/5cm). Flip the switch at the back of the
unit to turn the unit “on”. At initial powering up of the bath,
the start up wizard will display on the LCD screen.
•Start up wizard will prompt user to set time, day of the
week, and temperature.
3Unit must be primed before operation. Insert the supplied
priming bulb into the priming port. Squeeze the bulb once
and hold it until the bulb is fully inflated. Release the tip of
the priming bulb from the port. You should see the water
start to bubble at the port. You will also notice a slight
change in the sound of the motor. If this doesn’t occur,
repeat up to 3 times. Once the water bubbles , the unit is
primed. This process removes any trapped air in the tubes
and allows the pump to engage.
4Continue filling the tank to desired water level or to the
bottom of the internal hinge line.
