WARNING: In order to check for leaks, the following steps are performed without the skirting in place. To
prevent risk of electric shock, do not use spa at this time.
1. Make sure the power supply is OFF.
2. Check to see that the Black Drain valve (located to the left side of Equipment Module) is closed.
3. Fill the spa with water to the center line of the skimmer. Bleed air from the filter and equipment module by opening the
air relief plug (located at top of the filter). Tighten plug when finished.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The Equipment Module must never be operated without water in the spa, serious
damage to the heater and/or pump could result.
4. The slide valves on each side of the Equipment Module should be open (the valve is open when the handle is pulled
out, closed when it is pushed in).
IMPORTANT NOTE: Valves snap lock into place in “open” and “closed” positions.
5. Check all plumbing connections for water leaks. Although spas are fully checked at factory, shipping & delivery might
cause a leak. Call your dealer or Baja directly if there is a problem.
6. Before power is applied, refer to and become familiar with the spa side control operations.
7. Apply power to the Equipment Module.
8. Push the button marked “PUMP”. The Pump will now operate at low speed. Press button twice for High speed. It is
very important that the pump be operating for several minutes to assure that all air has been removed from filtration
system.
9. Temperature reading will be displayed on digital control. Increase heat set temperature to desired setting.
