AVOIDING THE RISK OF ELECTROCUTION
HOME & GARDEN SPAS RECOMMENDS THAT YOUR SPA BE INSTALLED
BY A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN.
To ensure the spa functions properly and to ensure your warranty is not
compromised by improper installation, you must have a licensed electrician
install all electrical components. Connect only to a grounded source.
If your spa model is equipped with a cord, do not bury the cord. A buried cord
may result in death or serious injury due to electrocution if direct burial-type
cable is not used, or if improper digging occurs.
Install at least ve feet (1.5m ) from all metal surfaces. If this is not possible, a
ground terminal (pressure wire connector) is provided on the control box inside
the unit to permit connection with solid copper bonding conductor between this
point and any metal equipment, metal water pipe, metal enclosures of electrical
equipment, or conduit within ve feet (1.5m) and within sight of the spa.
Do not permit any electrical appliances, such as lights, telephones, radios or
televisions within ve feet (1.5m) of the spa unless they were built in by the
manufacturer. Failure to maintain a safe distance may result in death or serious
injury from electrocution if the appliance should fall into the spa.

equipment protection in compliance with section 680-42 of the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-1993. To ensure proper
operation of the important safety device, test according to the
