General Electrical Safety Instructions

®
Your new Sundance 780 Series spa is equipped with a "state-of-
the-art" equipment system. It contains the most advanced safety and
self-protective equipment in the industry. Nonetheless, this spa must
be installed properly to ensure dependable usage. Please contact your
local Sundance dealer or local building department should you have any
questions regarding your installation.
Proper grounding is extremely important. Sundance spas are equipped
with a current collector system. A pressure wire connector is provided
on the surface of the control box, located outside the equipment door
(Figure B, page 15) to permit connection of a bonding wire between
this point and any ground metal equipment, metal water pipe or conduit
within 5 feet (1.5m) of the spa, or copper clad grounding rod buried
within 5 feet (1.5m) of the spa. Bonding wire must be at least No. 8 AWG
(8.4 mm²) solid copper wire. This is a most important safety assurance
feature.
Before installing your spa, check with your local building department to
ensure installation conforms to local building codes.
120/240 Volt Dover Convertible Model
A spa connected to a 120 VAC electrical service must be located close
enough to a grounded, grounding-type electrical outlet so that the
included 10 feet (3m) power cord can be plugged directly into it. DO
NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD as this could cause damage to the
spa's equipment due to insufficient voltage. The power supplied to this
spa must be a dedicated circuit with no other appliances or lights sharing
the power provided by the circuit.
