9. A ground terminal is provided on the terminal block (TB-1, terminal 7)
located inside the control box. To reduce the risk of electric shock,
connect this terminal to the grounding terminal of your electrical
service or supply panel 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 (8.42mm
2
) solid
copper wire to any metal ladders, water pipes, or other metal within
five feet (1.5m) of the spa to comply with local requirements.
10. Your spa uses ground fault circuit interrupters in the electrical sub-
panel. Before each use of the spa and with the unit operating press
the Test button on each breaker. The switch should click over to the
“Trip” position. Wait thirty seconds and reset each GFCI breaker by
switching it completely off and then completely on. The switch
should then stay on. If either of the interrupters 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.
ALL SPA MODELS
11. Install the spa so proper drainage is provided.
12.
DANGER: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.
Install the spa at least five
feet (1.5m) away from metal surfaces, in accordance with the
National Electric Code ANS/NMFPA70-1993. Each metal surface
must be permanently connected to a minimum No. 8 (8.42mm
2
)
solid copper conductor attached to the wire bonding connector on
the terminal box provided for this purpose.
13.
DANGER: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.
Do not permit any
appliance, such as a light, telephone, radio, or television, etc. within
five feet (1.5m) of the spa or hot tub.

WARNING:
To reduce the risk of injury:
•
The water in the spa should never exceed 104°F (40°C). Water
temperatures between 100°F (38°C) and 104°F (40°C) are consid-
ered safe for a healthy adult. Lower water temperatures are recom-
mended for extended use (exceeding 10 minutes) and for young
children.
•
Since excessive water temperatures have a high potential for
causing fetal damage during the early months of pregnancy,
pregnant or possibly pregnant women should limit spa water
temperatures to 100°F (38°C).
•
Before entering a spa, the user should measure the water tempera-
ture with an accurate thermometer since the tolerance of tempera-
ture-regulating devices may vary as much as +/- 5°F (3°C).
•
The use of drugs, alcohol, or medication before or during spa use
may lead to unconsciousness with the possibility of drowning.
