ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS
GENERAL
NOTICE: All spa electrical wiring must be performed by
a qualified, licensed electrician in order to meet NEC
(National Electrical Code) state and local codes.
1.
The lines carrying power to the spa must be dedicated to the
spa and should not be shared with any other appliance(s).
2. All electrical wiring lines must originate from the electrical
panel and terminate, hard wired, into the electrical wiring
compartment. The use of extension cords or improper plug
type termination is expressly prohibited and voids the warranty.
3. Do not use aluminum wiring.
Use only copper conductive
wiring.
4.
Wire gauge must be in accordance with NEC
requirements
for the distance from current source to spa and
the current rating as stated on the ID label that is attached to
the equipment control enclosure.
5. All wiring installed in conduit must be approved for usage
by state and local codes. The conduit must terminate at the
electrical access compartment either from the bottom of the
spa or through a hole in the side panel of the spa.
SPA STARTUP DIRECTIONS
All Viking Spas require a solid, flat surface.* This is to ensure that the
spa cabinet is not exposed to a pressure stress condition that may result
in cabinet damage and shell cracking.
A concrete pad is the best
example of a solid, flat surface, however, wood decking
is suitable, provided it can withstand 85# per sq. ft. with-
out deflection.
* FAILURE TO PROVIDE A PROPER, SOLID, FLAT SURFACE
MAY DAMAGE YOUR SPA AND VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
Please check with a licensed contractor and local codes prior to any
construction.
