4. Do not use electrically connected devices, such as televi-
sion, radio, telephones, stereo speakers, light or cooking
devices within 5 ft. of the spa when the spa is being used.
5. All fixed metal objects located within 5 ft. of the spa, such
as fence posts, railings, door frames, greenhouse struc-
tures, gutters, etc., must be attached to the bonding bar on
the outside of the spa System Control Module using #8
solid copper wire. With #8 solid copper wire, bond the
spa to the house electrical panel or approved local
bond. Bondinglugs are availableat your locate electri-
calsupplystore. (Seeillustrationonpage5forbondbar
location.)
6. An approved ground may be an 8 ft. long ground rod, a
plate electrode, or a buried metal water pipe with at least
10 ft. of buried pipe. Check your local building code for
requirements.
WARNING!
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 inef-
fective would cause electrical shock. Such modification
would also nullify the warranty.
Electrical Precaution
1. The spa is supplied with a 15 ft. line cord which terminates
with an integral Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)
plug. Locate the spa near enough to a weather protected
outlet, but no closer than 10 ft. DO NOT USE AN EXTEN-
SION CORD! Using as extension cord is hazardous and
willdecrease theamountof powertothe unit,causingslow
heating, poor whirlpool performance, or system malfunc-
tion.
2. Bringtheline cordoutfrom under theskirtthrough eitherof
the notchesinthe pan -rightside or center/back. Remove
skirt screws as required 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.
3. Do not locate lighting fixtures directly above the spa. If
lighting is located within 5 feet of the spa, it must be on a
circuit protected by a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Inter-
rupter).

Caution: Without proper grounding and bonding, a system malfunction may cause fatal shock.
Becauseyour spais portable,youcanlocate it just about anywhere you wish—on a deck, patio,orevenindoors.Besure
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 , water and people; this weight is approximately 1965 lbs. You must also provide access to the spa’s equipment
for service and general maintenance.
Positioning Your Spa
Important: Read complete instructions before beginning installation.
CAUTION
Do not apply electrical power to the spa unless it is filled with water to the normal water level, which is approx. 6" below
the spa rim (see location of water level indicator on face of skimmer on page 6). If the spa’s motor/pumps are actuated
whenthereisnotsufficientwaterintheunit,thecirculationpumpcouldbeirreparablydamaged. Notheedingthiscaution
will nullify the warranty. In addition to damaging the unit, operating the unit with insufficient water could cause a fire.
