panel with a continuous green insulated cop-
per wire equivalent to the circuit conductor
supplying this equipment, but no smaller
than No. 12 AWG. A second pressure wire
connector is provided on the surface of the
control box for bonding to local ground
points. To reduce the risk of electrical shock,
this connector should be bonded with a No. 6
AWG copper wire to any metal ladders, water
pipes, or any metal within 5 ft. of the spa.
Spas installed for 240 volt, 60 Hz, single phase
operation require a 4-wire, 60, 50, 40 or 30
amp., 240 volt sub-feed in non-metallic pipe to
the spa equipment compartment (line 1, line 2,
neutral and ground). A green colored terminal
(or wire connector marked “G”, or “GR”, or
“Grounding”) is provided in the control box. To
reduce the risk of electrical shock, connect this
terminal or connector to the grounding termi-
nal of your electrical service or supply panel
with a continuous green insulated copper wire
equivalent to the circuit conductor supplying
this equipment, but no smaller than No. 12
AWG. A second pressure wire connector is
provided on the surface of the control box for
bonding to local ground points. To reduce the
risk of electrical shock, this connector should
be bonded with a No. 6 AWG copper wire to
any metal ladders, water pipes, or any metal
within 5 feet (1.5m) of the spa.
CORD CONNECT
Certain models come with a power cord
which contains the GFCI breaker. All
electrical connections from the control
pack to the outlet should be done by a
qualied electrician. For your safety, when
the electrician is installing the 15 amp single
electrical outlet and waterproof cover, the
outlet should be no further than 10 feet (3m)
from the spa [N.E.C. Article 680 and all local
codes].
The Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) is
located on the power cord. This device is for
your protection. It is very important to protect
it along with the moisture resistant cover from
damage. Test once a month, with the plug
connected to the power supply.
NEVER CONNECT SPA TO EXTENSION CORD!
A pressure wire connector is provided on
the exterior surface of the control box inside
the spa. This is to permit the connection of a
ground bonding wire between this point and
any metal equipment, enclosures, reinforced
concrete pad, pipe, or conduit within 5
feet (1.5m) of the spa (if needed to comply
with local building code requirements). The
bonding wire must be at least a #10 AWG solid
copper wire.
Bond the spa to all exposed metal equipment
or xtures, handrails, and concrete pad per
N.E.C. Article 680 and all local codes.
1. Push the “TEST” button on the GFCI breaker.
The spa should stop operating and the GCFI
power indicator will go out.
2. Wait 30 seconds, then push the “RESET”
button. Power will be restored to the spa
and the GFCI power indicator will turn on. If
the GFCI fails to operate in this manner, your
spa may have an electrical malfunction, and
you may be risking electrical shock. Turn o
all circuits and do not use the spa until the
problem has been corrected by an authorized
service agent.
WARNING: Removal of the GFCI from the spa’s
power cord will result in an unprotected spa
and will void the spa’s warranty.
IMPORTANT: Should you ever nd the need to
move or relocate your spa, it is essential that
you understand and apply these installation
requirements. Your spa has been carefully
engineered to provide maximum safety
against electrical shock.
