General Electrical Safety Instructions - Jacuzzi J-145 Owner's Manual

• Proper Ventilation: Proper ventilation should be discussed with
an Engineer or authority competent enough to understand the
necessary provisions needed to vent moist or heated air and air
associated with chemical odors outdoors. When the spa is in use
considerable amounts of moisture will escape, potentially causing
mold and mildew over time which can damage certain surfaces and/
or surroundings.
• Sufficient Access: In the unlikely event that you should ever need
to access or gain entry to any portion of the spa for servicing, it is
highly recommended that you plan your indoor installation to provide
full access to the entire spa.
• Warranty: Damage caused by not following these guidelines or any
improper installation not in accordance to local codes or authorities is
not covered under the spas warranty. Please consult your local state
or city building ordinances.
• Do not shim the spa. To ensure proper support the spa must sit flat
on the intended foundation.

General Electrical Safety Instructions

Your new Jacuzzi 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 insure
dependable usage. Please contact your dealer or local building
department should you have any questions regarding your installation.
Proper grounding is extremely important. Jacuzzi 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 this spa, check with the local building department to
insure installation conforms to local building codes.
120/240 Volt Convertible Models
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 foot (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.
