Once your spa has been filled with water, turn it on and test all of the circuit breakers.

E: If both breakers immediately trip, verify that the #10 AWG WHITE neutral wire is connected from TB-1 terminal 5 to the N (load neutral)

terminal of the 30 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 control panel may flash four lines on and off – 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.

installation requirements. Your Hot Spring spa has been carefully engineered to provide maximum safety against electric shock. Remember,

THE EXACT PHYSICAL LOCATION  OF THE TERMINALS ON THE GFCI BREAKER

WILL VARY BETWEEN MANUFACTURERS.  CONNECTING THE HOT WIRE TO THE

NEUTRAL TERMINAL WILL CAUSE IRREVERSIBLE DAMAGE TO THE CONTROL BOX.
