DANGER- Risk of Injury.
The suction fittings in the hot tub are sized to match the specific water flow
created by the pump. Should the need arise to replace the suction fittings or the pump, be sure that
the flow rates are compatible.
Never operate the hot tub if the suction fittings are broken or missing. Do not replace a suction fitting
with one rated less than the flow rate marked on the original suction fitting.

DANGER – Risk of Electric Shock.
a. Install hot tub at least 5 feet (1.5m) from all metal surfaces. A hot tub may be installed within 5 feet
(1.5m) of metal surfaces if each metal surface is permanently connected by a minimum of No. 8
AWG (8.4mm) solid copper conductor to the wire connector on the terminal box that is provided for
this purpose.
b. Do not permit any electrical appliances, such as a light, telephone, radio, or television within 5 feet
(1.5 m) of the hot tub. These units DO NOT have an integral ground fault circuit interrupter. The
