unless using a direct-burial underground cable.
Not respecting this precaution may result in
death, or serious personal injury due to
electrocution.
ELECTRICAL WARNING

copper wire equivalent in size to the circuit
conductors supplying the equipment.

connect the cover bonding lug to the local
common bonding grid in the area. Use terminals
with an insulated or bare copper conductor no
smaller than No. 6 AWG (4.11 mm).

rails, ladders, drains or other similar hardware,
within 10 ft (3 m) of the spa must be bonded to
the equipment grounding bus with copper
conductors not smaller than No. 6 AWG (4.11
mm / 13.30mm2). (NEC art. 680).
MODIFICATIONS TO THE COVER
WARNING
lAny modifications to the cover, such as
mechanical, electrical or aesthetic, may cause
the cover to operate in an unwanted or
dangerous way. Furthermore, these
modifications are not permitted and might void
the warranty and certification.

certified for the only purpose of covering and
securing a spa. Any installation that differs
