do not permit children to use this product
unless they are clcsely supervised at all
times.
DANGER - RISKOF ACCJDENTAL DROWNING.
Extreme caution must be exercised to
prevent unauthorized access by children.
To avoid accidents, ensure that children
can not use the spa unle;,s they are
supervised at all times.
A ground terminal (pressure wire
connector)isprovidedon thecontrolbox
insidethe unit to permit connectionof a
minimum No.8 AWG (8.4 mm2) solid
copper bonding ccnductor between this
point and any metal equipment, metal
water pipe, metal enclosuresof electrical
equipment, or conduit within five feet
(l.5m) of the unit.
DANGER - To reduce the risk of injury to
persons, DO NOT remove suction fittings.
The suction fittings on this spa are sized
to match the spec:flc water flow created
by the pump. Should the need arise to
replace the suction fittings or the pump,
be sure that the flow rates are
compatible. Never operate the spa if the
suction fittings are broken or missing.
Never replace a suction fitting with one
rated less than the flow rate marked on
the original suction fitting.
Install the spa - so proper drainage is
provided for the compartment containing
electrical components.
DANGER- RISKOF ELECTRICAL SHOCK -
Install at least 5 feet (1.5 m) from all
metal surfaces. (A spa may be installed
within 5 feet of a metal surface if each
metal surface is permanently connected
by a minimum No.8 AWG (8.42 mm2)
solid copper conductor attached to the
wire connector on the terminal box that is
provided for this purpose). National
Electrical Code ANSI/NMFP A7G-1993.
DANGER- RISK OF ELECTRICALSHOCK-

dangerouscondition known as HYPERTHERMIA The causes,symptoms,and effectsof
hyperthermia may be described as follows: Hyperthermia occurs when the intemal
temperature of the body reaches a level severaldegrees above the normal body temperature
of 98.6 degrees F.The symptoms of hyperthermia include dizziness, fainting. drowsiness,
lethargy,and an increasein the intemal temperature of the body. The effects of hyperthermia
include (1) unawareness of impending hazard, (2) failure to perceive heat, (3) failure to
recognize the need to exit the spa, (4) physical inability to exit the spa, (5) fetal damage in

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
SIIESB.ECI1ON/PREIWW1ON: MAINTENANCE:
The spa must be installed on a
structurally strong, solid and reasonably
level surface. The majority of the weight
of the spa is placed under the footwell
area of the spa. This area must be firmly
supported at all times. The site should
allow for drainage away from the
equipment compartment in which the
electrical components are housed. Take
into account the following when
considering prospective sites.
Vita Spashavea loadingcapacityin the
range of 57lbs/sq ft to 83 Ibs/sq ft.
Refer to your actual model for exact
loading requirements.
LOCALCODES:
There may be certain restrictions and/
or requirements that are particular to
your locality.
DELIVERYPASSAGEWAY:
Doors, halls, stairs, etc. may pose
obstructionsto deliver the spa to its
intended site.
Trees, lawn, placement surfaces, etc. can
create extra work in keeping your spa area
dean and safe. Please be advised that
placing your spa on dirt or grass may
increasethe amount of debris inadvertently
brought into the spa water on the feet of
users or by the wind. The intrusion of this
debris into the spa water may cause harm
to your equipment as well as the spa
surface and is not covered under warranty.
PRIVACY AND
WIND SHIELDING:
A sheltered environment can result in
lower operating and maintenance costs.
You may also want to take into
consideration your privacy during times of
the year when trees may be barren,having
the spa located where you have a view of
a peaceful sunset, where you may be able
to catch soothing breezes, or your view
and the view of your neighbors may also
be something that you should address
prior to the final installation of your spa.

INSTALLINGTHESPACOVER
1. Position the cover squarely over the spa.
2. Position the locks for the tie-downs on the sides of the spa. You should allow
approximately 1/2" to 3/4" slack in the straps for ease of insertion into the locks and
to allow for material shrinkage during temperature changes.
3. Using the screws provided, attach the locks and insert the cover tie-down straps.
Utilizing the cover anytime the spa is not in use will reduce heat loss and thereby
reduce the amount of running time required to make up that loss by the heating
system.
Keep cover fasten€{j down at all times when not in use.
DANGER -RISK OF INJURY
To reducethe riskof potential injury:
1. Never leave a spa uncoveredor unattended.
2. Never leave a spa coverunlocked.

effort to control the amperage draw and
conserve electricity, the heater will run if the
primary pump is taJmed onto low speed but
then shut off whiile the primary pump goes
to high speed or if the secondary pump is
