Volt Electrical Installation - Cal Spas Avalon A526 Owner's Manual

120 Volt Electrical Installation

Always follow applicable local, state and federal
codes and guidelines.
Use only a dedicated electrical line with a 20-amp
breaker.
Cord-and-plug connections may not use a cord lon-
ger than 15 ft (4.6 m) and must be plugged into
a dedicated 20-amp GFCI connection. Do not use
extension cords!
Always use a weatherproof-covered receptacle.
Receptacle shall be located not less than 5 ft (1.5 m)
from and not exceeding 10 ft (3.0 m) from the inside wall of the spa.
Do not bury the power cord.
If your cord becomes damaged, replace it before next usage.
All 120V spas must have a GFCI. This can be either a 20-amp GFCI re-
ceptacle or a GFCI cord and plug kit as shown at right (CKIT110 - P/N
ELE09700086).
Testing the GFCI Breaker
Test the GFCI plug prior to first use and periodically when the spa is pow-
ered. To test the GFCI plug version, follow these instructions. (Spa should
already be plugged in and operational.)
1. Press the TEST button on the GFCI. The GFCI will trip and the spa will
stop operating.
2. Press the RESET button on the GFCI. The GFCI will reset and the spa
will turn back on.
The spa is now safe to use.
If the GFCI trips while the spa is in use, press the RESET button. If the
GFCI does not reset, unplug the spa and call your local Cal Spas dealer for
service. DO NOT USE THE SPA!
