110 vOLT CORD-CONNECTED 15 AMP MODELS:
• The GFCI is located at the end of the power cord. Before each use, with the unit operating, push
the TEST button. The unit should stop operating and the GFCI power indicator will go out. Wait 30
seconds and then reset the GFCI by pushing the RESET button. The GFCI power indicator will turn
on, restoring power to the spa. If the interrupter does not perform in this manner, there may be an
electrical malfunction and with it, the possibility of an electric shock. Disconnect the power until the
problem has been corrected. NOTE: This will reset the filter cycle.
230 VOLT, PERMANENTLY iNSTALLED MODELS:
• A ground terminal is provided on the control box. To reduce the risk of electric shock, connect this
terminal to the grounding terminal of your electrical service or subpanel with a continuous green,
insulated copper wire. The wire must be equivalent in size to the circuit conductors supplying the
equipment. In addition, a bonding terminal (pressure wire connector) is provided on the outside of
the control box for bonding to local ground points. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this connector
should be bonded with a No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm
²
) solid copper wire to any metal ladders, water pipes,
or other metal within 5 feet (1.5 m) of the spa to comply with local requirements. The means of
disconnection must be readily accessible, but must be installed at least 5 feet (1.5 m) from the spa.
• Your spa requires a suitably rated circuit breaker to open all ungrounded supply conductors.
• Your spa must have a ground fault circuit interrupter 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 GFCI 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 GFCI may cause the spa’s Power
Indicator (on the control panel) to blink. If this occurs, repeat the GFCI test procedure.
DANgER: RiSk OF ELEcTRicAL ShOck
• Install spa at least 5 feet (1.5 m) from all metal surfaces. A spa may be installed within 5 feet of
a metal surface if each metal surface is permanently connected by a minimum No. 10 AWG solid
copper conductor attached to the wire ground connector on the terminal box that is provided for this
purpose if in accordance with National Electrical Code ANSI/NMFPA70-1993.
• Do not permit any electrical appliances, such as a light, telephone, radio, or television within 5 feet
(1.5 m) 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 Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter(s) before each use.
DON’T:
• Use the spa with the equipment compartment door removed.
