Your spa has a factory installed 120 volt power cord with a G.F.C.I. 20 amp configured plug connector
designed for use with a NEMA 5-20R receptacle. See below for further details. Conversion of the S-3

a certified licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code and all local codes.
A G.F.C.I. MUST BE A INTEGRAL PART OF THE CONNECTION
The National Electrical Code requires that both 120 and 240 volt circuits be protected by a Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupter "G.F.C.I." and a Disconnect Switch: See National Electric Code Article 680-42
& 680-12
WARNING:

REASON!
This G.F.C.I. plug has one vertical and one horizontal blade in addition to a grounding prong. This plug
configuration is to be plugged into a like receptacle.
Under no circumstance should this configuration
be modified.
A NEMA 5-20R 20 AMP RECEPTACLE IS REQUIRED
A NEMA 5-20 amp receptacle is required for a power cord installation. This receptacle must be installed
in accordance with the National Electrical Code and all local codes.
ISOLATED, DEDICATED 120 VOLT, 20 AMP CIRCUIT IS REQUIRED
All 120 volt installations require an isolated, dedicated 120 volt circuit to provide the power necessary
for the proper operation of the electrical equipment.
SAFETY FACTORS IN PLACEMENT OF THE 20 AMP RECEPTACLE
Special consideration should be given to safety when selecting a location for the 20 amp receptacle.
The receptacle should be placed no closer than six (6) feet (1.8m) from the spa and in such a manner
as to be out of the way of traffic to and from the spa and normal foot traffic. The power cord should be
situated so it will not cause any other type of hazard.
WIRE SIZING MUST MEET ELECTRICAL CODES
All installations are different. Wire sizing must meet the National Electrical Code and all local code
specifications.
