120 Volt Electrical Installation
Always follow applicable local, state and federal
codes and guidelines.
Use only a dedicated electrical line with a 15 amp
breaker.
Cord-and-plug connections may not use a cord lon-
ger than 15 feet (4.6 m) and must be plugged into a
dedicated 15 amp GFCI connection (NEC 680.42(A)
(2)). Do not use extension cords!
Always use a weatherproof-covered receptacle.
Receptacle shall be located not less than 5 feet (1.5
m) from and not exceeding 10 feet (3.0 m) from the
inside wall of the spa. (NEC 680.43(A))
Do not bury the power cord. If your cord becomes
damaged, replace it before next usage.
All 120V spas must have a GFCI. This can be either a 15 amp GFCI re-
ceptacle or a 15 amp GFCI cord and plug kit as shown (CKIT110 - P/N
ELE09700086).
Testing the GFCI plug
Test the GFCI plug prior to first use and periodically when the spa is pow
-
ered. To test the GFCI plug version, follow these instructions. (Spa should
already be plugged in and operational.)
Press the TEST button on the GFCI. The GFCI will trip and the spa will
1.
stop operating.
Press the RESET button on the GFCI. The GFCI will reset and the spa
2.
will turn back on.
The spa is now safe to use.
If the GFCI trips while the spa is in use, press the RESET button. If the
GFCI does not reset, unplug the spa and call OC Hot Tubs for service. DO
NOT USE THE SPA!
