IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS!
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
When installing and using this electrical equipment it is recom-
mended that a licensed and bonded electrician perform the work.
Basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the
following:
• A pressure wire connector is provided on the outside of
the control box to permit the connection of a solid copper
bonding wire between the spa and any metal equipment,
metal enclosures of electrical equipment, metal water
pipe or conduit within 5 feet of the spa as needed to
comply with local requirements.
• A green colored terminal (or a wire connector marked
“G”, “GR”, “Ground”, or “Grounding”) is provided. To reduce
the risk of electric shock, connect this terminal to the
grounding terminal of your electric service or supply
panel with a continuous green insulated copper wire
equivalent to the circuit conductor supplying this
equipment.
• The electrical supply must include a suitably rated
Ground Fault Interrupter Circuit to open all underground
supply conductors to comply with section 422-20 of the
National Electrical Code. ANSI/NFPA 70-1987. The power
supply cut off must be readily accessible to the spa
occupant, but installed at least 5 feet from spa water.
• Test the performance of the GFCI according to manufac-
turers recommendations. If the GFCI does not perform
correctly, there may be a ground current flowing indicating
the possibility of electric shock. Disconnect the power
until the fault has been identified and corrected.
•
DANGER –RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.
