INSTALLATION
Inspection and Shipping Claim
Check for shipping damage upon receipt of the spa.
Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath is not responsible for damage to
the spa sustained during shipping. If damage is evident
before unpacking, refer to instructions regarding ship-
ping claims on the outside of the carton and immediately
file a claim with the carrier.
Once the spa has been removed from the carton
and before it is permanently installed , check the spa
completely for damage. Fill the shell with water and
operate the system (refer to Operating Instructions) to
check for leaks which may have resulted from improper
shipment or handling. All Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath spas
are factory tested for proper operation and water tight
connections prior to shipment. If leaks or other problems
are detected, immediately notify your Jacuzzi Whirlpool
Bath dealer, Authorized Service Agent, or call Jacuzzi
Whirlpool Bath, (925) 938-7411, or (925) 938-7070 for
Warranty Service.
NOTE: Damage or defects which could have been
discovered and repaired prior to installation and
which are claimed after final installation of the spa,
are excluded from our warranty.
Positioning Your Spa
Because your spa is portable, you can locate it just
about anywhere you wish—on a deck, patio, or even
indoors. Just be sure to position it above ground in an
area with good drainage and on a level, continuous
surface which can support the weight of the spa when
filled with water and people. You must also provide
access to the spa's equipment for service and general
maintenance. See specifications for minimum service
access requirements.

Electrical Requirements
Your spa, as it comes from the factory, has a
115VAC GFCI equipped line cord, and requires a 115
VAC, 15 AMP electrical outlet and must be in a grounded
separate circuit having no other appliance connected in
that circuit. If you do not have a 115 VAC, 15 AMP circuit,
a qualified electrician should be called in to install the
necessary wiring. Inadequately sized wiring may cause
the unit to malfunction and bring about permanent
damage to the spa’s electrical system. The circuit must
also have a ground wire in order to take advantage of the
designed-in safety features of the spa. An approved
ground may be an 8 foot long ground rod, a plate
electrode, or a buried metal water pipe with at least 10
feet of buried pipe. Check your local building code for
requirements. A bond wire must also be used. Bond
according to procedure described on page 4.
Electrical Precautions
The spa is supplied with a 15 foot line cord which
terminates with an integral GFCI plug. Locate the spa
near enough to a weather protected outlet, but no closer
than 10 feet. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD!
Using an extension cord is hazardous and will decrease
the amount of power to the unit, causing slow heating,
poor whirlpool performance, or system malfunction.
Replace damaged line cord immediately. Do not
bury line cord. Connect to a grounded, grounding type
receptacle only.
Bring the line cord out from under the skirt. Remove
access panel screws to gain access. Make sure the line
cord does not lie across a walkway or in a heavily
traveled area where it may be a safety hazard or become
damaged.
At initial start-up and before each use thereafter, test
the GFCI. With power ON, the indicator light should be
on. If not, press RESET and light should come on. Then
press TEST button - light must go OFF. Press RESET
for use. If the interrupter fails to operate in this manner,
there is a ground current flowing or a device malfunction-
ing, indicating the possibility of electrical shock. Turn off
power and do not use the spa until the source of the
breakdown has been identified and corrected.
WARNING
Without proper grounding and bonding, a system
malfunction may cause fatal shock.
The continuous service ground wire is located in the
line cord supplied. Do not modify this cord in any
way! Tampering with the ground wire or using an
adaptor which would make the built-in grounding
device and GFCI ineffective would cause electrical
shock. Such modification would also nullify the
warranty.
CAUTION
Do not plug in the spa unless it is filled with water to
the normal water level, which is approx. 6" below the
spa rim. If the spa’s motor/pump is actuated when
there is not sufficient water in the unit, the circula-
tion pump could be irreparably damaged. Not heed-
ing this caution will nullify the warranty. In addition
to damaging the unit, operating the unit with insuf-
ficient water could cause a fire.
