handrails, and the concrete pad (if applicable) per N.E.C. Article 680 and local codes.
9. Replace the control box cover and securely tighten the fastening screws. Close and secure the equipment compartment door.
WARNING:
FILL THE SPA WITH WATER BEFORE TURNING ON THE POWER.
Once your spa has been filled with water, turn it on and test all of the circuit breakers.
NOTE:
If both breakers immediately trip, verify that the #12 AWG WHITE neutral wire is connected from TB-1 terminal 7 to the L1 (load neutral)
terminal of the 20 amp subpanel breaker. Each breaker should be tested prior to each use. Here’s how:
1. Push the “TEST” button on each GFCI breaker, and observe it click OFF.
2. Wait 30 seconds, then push the breaker switch to the OFF (down) position (to ensure that it has completely disengaged), then push the
breaker switch to the ON (up) position. If you don’t wait 30 seconds, the spa’s power indicator may continue to blink – try again. If any of the
GFCI breakers fails to operate in this manner, your spa may have an electrical malfunction, and you may be at risk of electrical shock. Turn off
all circuits and do not use the spa until the problem has been corrected by an authorized service agent.
WARNING:
Removing, or bypassing any GFCI breaker will result in an unsafe spa and will void the spa’s warranty.
IMPORTANT:
Should you ever find the need to move or relocate your Tiger River
®
spa, it is essential that you understand and apply these
installation requirements. Your Tiger River spa has been carefully engineered to provide maximum safety against electric shock. Remember,
connecting the spa to an improperly wired circuit will negate many of its safety features.
NOTE:
Long wiring runs may require larger-gauge wire than stated. We recommend using a maximum 3% voltage drop when calculating wire
gauge requirements.
