SPA STARTUP DIRECTIONS
All Viking Spas require a solid, flat surface.* This is to ensure that the
spa cabinet is not exposed to a pressure stress condition that may result
in cabinet damage and shell cracking.
A concrete pad is the best
example of a solid, flat surface, however, wood decking is
suitable, provided it can withstand 85# per sq. ft. without
deflection.
* FAILURE TO PROVIDE A PROPER, SOLID, FLAT SURFACE MAY
DAMAGE YOUR SPA AND VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
The following procedure should be followed on initial startup and when-
ever the spa is drained for maintenance. Read each step in its entirety
before proceeding with that step. Please check with a licensed contractor
and local codes prior to any construction.
