equipment. In addition, a bonding terminal (pressure wire connector) is
provided on the outside of the control box for bonding to local ground
points. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this connector should be
bonded with a No. 8 AWG (8.42mm2) (No. 6 AWG in Canada) solid cop-
per wire to any metal ladders, water pipes, or other metal within five feet
(1.5m) of the spa to comply with local requirements.
10. Your spa uses ground fault circuit interrupters in the electrical subpanel.
Before each use of the spa and with the unit operating press the Test
button on each breaker. The switch should click over to the “Trip” posi-
tion. Wait thirty seconds and reset each GFCI breaker by switching it
completely off and then completely on. The switch should then stay on. If
either of the interrupters does not perform in this manner, it is an indica-
tion of an electrical malfunction and the possibility of an electric shock.
Disconnect the power until the fault has been identified and corrected.
ALL SPA MODELS
11. Install the spa so proper drainage is provided.
12.DANGER: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. Install the spa at least five feet
(1.5m) away from metal surfaces, in accordance with the National Electric
Code ANS/NMFPA70-1993. Each metal surface must be permanently
connected to a minimum No. 8 (8.42mm2) (No. 6 AWG in Canada) solid
copper conductor attached to the wire bonding connector on the termi-
nal box provided for this purpose.
13.DANGER: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. Do not permit any appliance,
such as a light, telephone, radio, or television, etc. within five feet (1.5m)
of the spa or hot tub.
14.WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury:
• Watertemperaturesbetween100°F(38°C)and104°F(40°C)arecon-
sidered safe for a healthy adult. Lower water temperatures are recom-
mended for extended use (exceeding 10 minutes) and for young chil-
dren.

• Personssufferingfromobesityorwithamedicalhistoryofheartdisease,
low or high blood pressure, circulatory system problems, or diabetes

may affect heart rate, blood pressure, and circulation.
15.DANGER: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS.
Do not remove the suction fittings.
16.DANGER: RISK OF INJURY: Never operate a spa if the suction
guard(s) is broken or missing. Never replace a suction guard with one
rated less than the flow rate marked on the original suction guard. The
suction guard(s) in the spa are sized to match the specific water flow
