Important Csa safety instructions (Canada only)
When using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should
always be followed, including the following:
1. reaD anD FOllOw all InsTruCTIOns.
2. A green colored terminal or a terminal marked G, Gr, Ground,
Grounding or the
symbol* is located inside the supply terminal box
or compartment. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this terminal
must be connected to the grounding means provided in the electric
supply service panel with a continuous copper wire equivalent in size
to the circuit conductors that supply this equipment. *IEC Publication
417, Symbol 5019.
3. At least two lugs marked “Bonding Lugs” are provided on the
external surface or on the inside of the supply terminal box/
compartment. To reduce the risk of electric shock, connect the local
common bonding grid in the area of the spa to these terminals with
an insulated or bare copper conductor not smaller than No. 6 AWG
(10 mm²).
4. All field-installed metal components such as rails, ladders, drains or
other similar hardware within 10 feet (3m) of the spa shall be bonded
to the equipment grounding buss with copper conductors not smaller
than No. 6 AWG (10 mm²).
5. saVe THese InsTruCTIOns.

Choosing a location
ImPOrTanT:
Because of the combined weight of the spa, water
and users, it is extremely important that the base upon which the
spa rests be smooth, flat, level and capable of uniformly support
-
ing this weight, without shifting or settling, for the entire time the
spa is in place. If the spa is placed on a surface which does not
meet these requirements, damage to the skirt and/or the spa shell
may result. Damage caused by improper support is not covered
under warranty. It is the responsibility of the spa owner to assure
the integrity of the support at all times. We recommend a poured,
reinforced concrete slab with a minimum thickness of 4 inches (10
cm). Wood decking is also acceptable provided it is constructed so
that it meets the requirements outlined above.
