COYOTE SPAS™ MUST BE WIRED IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL APPLICA-
BLE LOCAL ELECTRICAL CODES. ALL ELECTRICAL WORK SHOULD BE
DONE BY AN EXPERIENCED, LICENSED ELECTRICIAN AND APPROVED
BY A LOCAL BUILDING/ELECTRICAL INSPECTION AUTHORITY. WE
RECOMMEND THE USE OF APPROPRIATE ELECTRICAL CONDUIT, FIT-
TINGS AND WIRE FOR ALL CIRCUITS. The spa can be wired with one 50 amp
240 volt single circuit, one 25 amp circuit or two 25 amp circuits.
We recommend an electrical subpanel containing a 50 amp GFCI breaker is used to supply power
and protect the spa. This subpanel requires a 50 amp, two pole, single phase, 240 volt, four wire ser-
vice (two line, one neutral, one ground). The grounding conductor must be at least the same gauge
as the line conductors, but not less than #6 AWG (Canada), and #8 AWG (USA). A minimum #6
AWG (Canada), and #8 AWG (USA) solid copper bond wire is also required. Mount the subpanel
in the vicinity of the spa, but not closer than five feet away, in accordance with all local codes. The
electrical circuit must be installed by a qualified electrician.
1.
This hot tub must be permanently connected (hard-wired) to the power supply. No plug-
in connections or extension cords are to be used in conjunction with the operation of this
hot tub. Supplying power to the hot tub which is not in accordance with these instructions
will void both the independent testing agency listing and the manufacturer’s warranty.
2.
The power supplied to this hot tub must be a dedicated circuit with no other appliances or
lights sharing the power provided by the circuit.
3.
Do not use aluminum wire.
4.
For the United States, the electrical supply for this product must include a suitably rated
switch or circuit breaker to open all ungrounded supply conductors to comply with Section
422-20 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70. The disconnecting means must be
readily accessible to the hot tub’s occupant but installed at least 1.5m (5 feet) from hot tub
water.
5.
The electrical circuit supplied for the hot tub must include a suitable ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI) as required by electrical code.
6.
To gain access to the hot tub’s power terminal block, remove the four screws securing the two
cabinet panels on the side of the spa containing the ETL label. Then open the door to the
control box.
