Operating Instructions and Installation Instructions

Placement of your Coyote spa.
Your spa must be properly situated and supported to ensure longevity of the cabinet, acrylic shell, and its compo-
nents. It is mandatory that your spa sit on a flat, hard, unitized surface that is level to within one inch over 8 feet
of a slope. Hard and unitized means that the surface must be a stable, tied together platform that will withstand
the rigors of use and your local climate extremes. Examples of the above would be: a 10 cm reinforced concrete
pad, a wood deck built to local building codes, or an engineered stage platform built to our Coyote Spa’s stan-
dards. It is important to note that when spas are placed on soft surfaces, or platforms that are not integrated, the
ground may settle. This leaves a void in the structural integrity of the platform and could cause damage to the spa
shell, cabinet or structure. This damage is not covered by your Limited Warranty. Contact your local Coyote Spas
outlet with any concerns or questions before installing your Coyote spa.
Wood decking requires that the deck be constructed to support at least 100 pounds per square foot. Individual spa
weights vary.
Check with your Coyote Spas outlet for specific model weights. You may also use the chart on page 7 for your
model’s estimated average weight.
The spa settles into the original pad that it is placed in and if the spa is moved distortion within the shell and
cabinet should be expected.
Equipment Panels and Access
When considering an installation site, always allow for a minimum of 76 cm (30”) of clearance for the front
equipment panel. It is also recommended to allow at least 50 cm (20”) of minimum clearance for the remaining
sides. Contact your local Coyote Spa outlet for further information when enclosing or recessing your spa.
