Inspection and Shipping Claims

        Check for shipping damage upon receipt of the spa.  Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath is not responsible for damage to the spa
sustained during shipping.  If damage is evident before unpacking, see instructions regarding shipping claims on the outside
of the carton and immediately file a claim with the carrier.

      Once the spa has been removed from the carton and before it is permanently installed (see below on this page for
unpacking instructions), check the spa completely for damage.  Fill the shell with water and operate the system (see
Operating Instructions) to check for leaks which may have resulted from shipping or handling.  All Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath
spas are factory tested for proper operation and water tight connections prior to shipping.  If leaks or other problems are
detected, immediately notify your Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath dealer or Authorized Service Agent, or call Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath,
1 (510) 938-7411, for Warranty Service.

      Note:  Damage or defects which could have been discovered and repaired prior to installation and which are
claimed after final installation of the spa, are excluded from our warranty.

Unpacking

Remove the outer carton by cutting the bands and
lifting the cover and the sides.  Leave the remaining
plastic sheet attached  to the top of the spa shell to
keep the shell clean and free from debris during
installation.

Remove the rigid spa cover which is located on top of
the spa. Lift the spa from the carton (approximate
weight 350 lbs.) and set it in place on the patio, deck,
or position of intended use.

If, after having been removed from the carton, the spa
must be turned onto its side to move it, make sure the
surface of the cart or dolly on which it is placed is large
enough to support the entire width of the spa, includ-
ing the rim and base of the skirt.  The skirt is not
designed to support the product weight and could be
damaged if allowed to do so.  For further protection of
the skirt, make sure the surface of the cart or dolly is
padded

.  

Do not allow the spa to rest on the equip-

ment door side.  See illustration at lower right.
