IMPORTANT:
Your Coyote Spa™ has been thoroughly tested during the manufacturing process
to ensure reliability and long-term customer satisfaction. Before filling the spa,
wipe the spa shell clean with a soft rag.
The following instructions must be read and followed exactly to ensure a successful start-up or refill.
1)
Ensure the electrical connections have been made in accordance with this manual.
2)
Ensure all O-Rings have been installed into unions and unions have been tightened sufficiently.
3)
Ensure all ball valves are open, and the drain has been closed.
4)
Fill the spa with water to approximately 4” (10cm) above the top of the filter bucket with a gar-
den hose.
5)
Once the spa is filled to the proper level, turn the power to the spa on, by turning on the GFCI
breaker in your panel. Watch the display on the topside control. After power-up, the display
will blink until a key is pressed. This feature is to let you know that the set point and other
system parameters are at their default settings.
6)
The jet pump, heating system and all internal plumbing will achieve a partial prime as the spa
is filled. Once the spa is full, turn each pump on to complete prime.. Once the jet system is fully
operational (as indicated by strong, non-surging jets), priming of the spa is complete. Weak or
surging jets are an indication of a low water level condition or clogged filter cartridges.
7)
Adjust the chemicals and balance the water according to your dealer’s instructions.
A guideline is also included in this manual, under the Water Maintenance Section.
8)
Set the temperature control to the desired temperature (between 38°C and 40°C
or 100ºF and 104ºF), then place the vinyl cover on the spa and allow the water
temperature to stabilize (approximately 16 hours). Make sure you secure the cover
in place using the cover locks. Periodically check the spa water temperature. When
the water temperature climbs above 29°C (84ºF), proceed to the next step.
CAUTION!
Do not turn on power
to the spa until the
spa is filled to the
required level.
Running the spa
pump without water
could cause
immediate damage
and invalidate your
warranty!
