Caution: Risk of electrical shock.
Read and follow all instructions.
Important Safety Instructions
All electrical connections to this spa package
MUST be accomplished by a qualified
licensed electrician in accordance with the
National Electrical Code (NEC) and with state/
local electrical codes in effect at the time
of installation.
NOTE: Prior to performing any service to
the spa equipment, turn OFF all primary
electrical power at the main circuit breaker
or disconnect panel.
To make spa electrical connections, remove
the exterior equipment access panel, locate
the electrical control box, remove the control
box cover and follow the wiring diagram on
the inside of the control box cover.
Connections should be made using copper
conductors
only
. Connecting wires, circuit
breakers, or fuses must all be sized to accom-
modate the Total Ampere load as specified
on the equipment label.
This equipment is designed to operate on
60Hz alternating current only, at 240 volts.
NOTE: All unions must be hand-tight and
all slice valves must be locked in the OPEN
position before filling or refilling spa!
A clip is provided to help keep the slice
valve open. Run spa and check for union
leaks before reinstalling front panel.
Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter
A qualified licensed electrician shall connect
the spa to a circuit protected by a GFCI. This
is a requirement by the National Electric
Code, article 680-42, and is also in compli-
ance with Underwriter’s Laboratories, Inc.
Installation Options
While knockouts are provided in the cabinet
base to bring the conduit to the equipment
compartment, a hole may need to be drilled
in the pedestal or base if an alternate electri-
cal service entrance is desired.
Refer to the manufactures’s nameplate
located on the kick plate to determine your
spa’s ampere requirements.
