Viking Plug-n-Play Spas Series, Owner'S Manual

Page: 7 / 24

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 suit-
able, provided it can withstand 85# per sq. ft. without deflection.
* FAILURE TO PROVIDE A PROPER, SOLID, FLAT SURFACE
MAY DAMAGE YOUR SPA AND VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
The following procedure should be followed on initial startup and
whenever the spa is drained for maintenance. Read each step in its
entirety before proceeding with that step.
FILL THE SPA WITH WATER
a. Clear all debris from your spa.
b. Remove filter element.
c. Using a garden hose, place hose in filter chamber for filling.
Do not fill higher than three quarters of the way up the skimmer
opening.
d. We DO NOT recommend the use of softened water due
to the potential harm of damaging equipment .
e. As water level rises, check inside equipment compartments for
water leaks. It may be necessary to tighten loose unions and/or
fittings.
f. Make sure T-Handled Gate VALVES at pump and heater are open.
(Fully extended up position).
