1. Circuit breaker amperages may vary according to the area of installation. Please check local electrical codes to verify
requirements and assure compliance.
2. The minimum wire size does not account for the distance of wire run to the spa from the service input.
3. Additional 240V 30A electrical service is required for spas with the optional heater.
4. Only a licensed electrician should size and install the electrical connections to the spa.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
To hook up your spa, follow these instructions:
1.
Remove the front cabinet panel.
2.
Loosen the 2 screws on the top front of the equipment control enclosure.
3.
Use ¾” flexible non-metallic conduit for 10 AWG copper wire and 1” flexible non-metallic conduit
for 6 AWG copper wire. Run the conduit from the power source to the spa, through the hole in the
left or right front corner of the spa and into the equipment control pack.
4.
After pulling all four wires through the conduit and into the equipment control box, connect them to
the proper terminals as indicated by the wiring diagram on the lid of the equipment control box.
Please note that the ground wire returns through a hole in the controller to the outside ground buss.
5.
Close the lid on the equipment control box and tighten the screws.
6.
Electrical hook up is now complete. Do not re-attach the front cabinet panel yet.
