Electrical Information

Caution: Risk of electrical shock.
Read and follow all instructions.

Important Safety Instructions

All electrical connections to this spa package
MUST be accomplished by a qualified licensed
electrician in accordance with the National
Electrical Code (NEC) and with state/local electri-
cal codes in effect at the time of installation.
NOTE: Prior to performing any service to the spa
equipment, turn OFF all primary electrical power at
the main circuit breaker or disconnect panel.
To make spa electrical connections, remove the
exterior equipment access panel, locate the electrical
control box, remove the control box cover and follow
the wiring diagram on the inside of the control box
cover.
Connections should be made using copper conduc-
tors only. Connecting wires, circuit breakers, or fuses
must all be sized to accommodate the Total Ampere
load as specified on the equipment label.
This equipment is designed to operate on 60Hz
alternating current only, at 240 volts or 120 volts, as
required.
NOTE: All unions must be hand-tight and all slice
valves must be locked in the OPEN position before fill-
ing or refilling spa! A clip is provided to help keep the
slice valve open. Run spa and check for union leaks
before reinstalling front panel.
Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter
A qualified licensed electrician shall connect the
spa to a circuit protected by a GFCI. This is a require-
ment by the National Electric Code, article 680-42,
and is also in compliance with Underwriter's
Laboratories, Inc.

Installation Options

While knockouts are provided in the cabinet base to
bring the conduit to the equipment compartment, a
hole may need to be drilled in the pedestal or base if an
alternate electrical service entrance is desired.
The 300 Series Model 351 Base unit is convertible
to either 120 volt or 240 volt electrical service. All
other models can only be connected to a 240 volt elec-
trical service.
120 Volt Installation
Model:
• The 300 Series Model 351 Base.
Electrical Requirements:
• 120 Volts, 60Hz, Single Phase, 40 amp. or *20 amp
3-wire service, (including ground.)
*20 Amp Option
Note: The heater can be activated only with the
pump on low speed. Only the light can be operat-
ing at the same time without disabling the heater.
See your authorized Coleman Spas® dealer to
select this option.
300 Series spas installed for 120 volt opera-
tion require a 3-wire, 20 or 40 amp, 120 volt sub- •
feed in non-metallic pipe to the spa equipment
compartment (line 1, neutral and ground). A green
colored terminal (or wire connector marked "G",
or "GR", "Grounding") is provided in the control
box. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, connect
this terminal or connector to the grounding termi-
nal of your electrical service or supply panel with a
continuous green insulated copper wire equivalent
to the circuit conductor supplying this equipment,
but no smaller than No. 12 AWG. A second pres-
sure wire connector is provided on the surface of
the control box for bonding to local ground points.
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this connec-
tor should be bonded with a No. 6 AWG copper
wire to any metal ladders, water pipes, or any metal
within 5 feet of the spa.
Copper wire is strongly recommended for all
electrical connections.
