CAUTION! READ THIS BEFORE DRAINING: To prevent dam-
age to the spas components, turn off power to the spa at the circuit
breaker before draining it. Do not turn the power back on until your
spa has been refilled.
CAUTION: There are certain precautions to keep in mind when
draining your spa. If it is extremely cold, and the spa is out-
doors, freezing could occur in the lines or the equipment (see
"WINTERIZING," page 66). On the other hand, if it is hot out-
doors, do not leave the spa's surface exposed to direct sunlight.
Draining Procedures:
1. Turn off power to hot tub at the breaker.

Repeat the steps to remove the other corner panel. Note: The
optional corner exterior lights on the panels are connected to the
light harness. Take care when removing the corner panels to avoid
damaging the wires or lights.
• Grab the bottom of the front panel and slightly lift to release it
from the top mount, Figure 13.2b. Tilt the panel and pull down to
