SAFETY INFORMATION
2
• Your spa requires a suitably rated circuit
breaker to open all ungrounded supply
conductors.
• Your spa must have a residual current
device (RCD) in an electrical subpanel.
Before each use of the spa and with the
unit operating, push the TEST button on
the breaker. The switch should click over
to the “Trip” position. Wait 30 seconds
and reset the RCD breaker by switching
it completely off and then completely
on. The switch should then stay on. If
the interrupter does not perform in this
manner, it is an indication of an electrical
malfunction and the possibility of an
electric shock. Disconnect the power until
the fault has been identified and corrected.
IMPORTANT:
Failure to wait 30 seconds
before resetting the RCD may cause the
spa’s Power Indicator (on the control
panel) to blink. If this occurs, repeat the
RCD test procedure.
DANGER: RISK OF
ELECTRICAL SHOCK
• Install spa at least 1.5 m (5 feet) from all
metal surfaces. A spa may be installed
within 1.5 m (5 feet) of a metal surface
if each metal surface is permanently
connected by a minimum 6 mm² (10AWG)
solid copper conductor attached to the
wire ground connector on the terminal
box that is provided for this purpose if in
accordance with your national electrical
code.
• Do not permit any electrical appliances,
such as a light, telephone, radio, or
television within 1.5 m (5 feet) of a spa.
Failure to maintain a safe distance may
result in death or serious personal injury
due to electrocution if the appliance should
fall into the spa.
• Install your spa in such a way that
drainage is away from the electrical
compartment and from all electrical
components.
DO:
• Be sure your spa is connected to the
power supply correctly - use a licensed
electrical contractor.
• Disconnect the spa from the power supply
before draining the spa or servicing the
electrical components.
• Test the residual current device before
each use.
DON’T:
• Use the spa with the equipment
compartment door removed.
• Place electrical appliances within 1.5 m
(5 feet) of the spa.
• Use an extension cord to connect the spa
to its power source. The cord may not be
properly grounded and the connection is
a shock hazard. An extension cord may
cause a voltage drop, which will cause
overheating of the jet pump motor and
motor damage.
• Attempt to open the electrical control box.
There are no user serviceable parts inside.
RISKS TO AVOID
DANGER: RISK OF INJURY
• DO NOT sit in the filter compartment area.
Sitting in this area can cause:
a) Restriction of Filter Pump suction/
vacuum b) Damage to components
• Both can result in bodily harm. Should
damage occur to components in this area,
replace immediately!
To reduce the risk of injury to persons, DO NOT
remove floating weir, basket, and filter located in
the filter compartment while the spa is running.
• The suction fittings in the spa are sized to
match the specific water flow created by
the pump. Never replace a suction fitting
with one rated less than the flow rate
marked on the original suction fitting.
• There is a danger of slipping and falling.
Remember that wet surfaces can be
very slippery. Take care when entering or
exiting the spa.
