CAUTION! READ THIS BEFORE DRAINING:

 To prevent dam-

age to the spas components, turn off power to the spa at the circuit 

breaker before draining it. Do not turn the power back on until your 

spa has been refilled.

CAUTION:

 There are certain precautions to keep in mind when 

draining your spa. If it is extremely cold, and the spa is out-

doors, freezing could occur in the lines or the equipment (see 

“WINTERIZING,” page 66). On the other hand, if it is hot out-

doors, do not leave the spa’s surface exposed to direct sunlight.

Draining Procedures:

1.  Turn off power to hot tub at the breaker.

2.  To remove the cabinet panels, follow the steps below:

•  Grab one of the corner panels, from the bottom, where it touches 

the bottom pan. Then gently pull the panel forward to unsnap 

it from the holding clip then pull down to remove, Figure 13.2a. 

Place the panel in a safe location to prevent from damaging it. 

Repeat the steps to remove the other corner panel. Note: The 

optional corner exterior lights on the panels are connected to the 

light harness. Take care when removing the corner panels to avoid 

damaging the wires or lights.

•  Grab the bottom of the front panel and slightly lift to release it 

from the top mount, Figure 13.2b. Tilt the panel and pull down to 

remove. Place the panel in a safe location to prevent from damag-

ing it. 

•  The Jacuzzi indicator light is installed on the front panel. Take 

care when removing the panel to avoid damaging the wires or 

light. Remove the wing nuts from the indicator light to remove the 

light housing, Figure 13.2c. Once the light housing is removed, 

reinstall the wing nuts or place them in a safe location.
