9. A ground terminal is provided on the terminal block (TB-1, terminal 7) located
inside the control box. To reduce the risk of electric shock, connect this terminal
to the grounding terminal of your electrical service or supply panel with a
continuous green, insulated copper wire. The wire must be equivalent in size to
the circuit conductors supplying the equipment. In addition, a bonding terminal
(pressure wire connector) is provided on the outside of the control box for
bonding to local ground points. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this
connector should be bonded with a No. 8 AWG (8.42mm
any metal ladders, water pipes, or other metal within five feet (1.5m) of the spa
to comply with local requirements.
10. Your spa uses ground fault circuit interrupters in the electrical sub-panel. Before
each use of the spa and with the unit operating press the Test button on each
breaker. The switch should click over to the "Trip" position. Wait thirty seconds
and reset each GFCI breaker by switching it completely off and then completely
on. The switch should then stay on. If either of the interrupters does not
perform in this manner, it is an indication of an electrical malfunction and the
possibility of an electric shock. Disconnect the power until the fault has been identified
and corrected.
NOTE: Failure to wait 30 seconds before resetting the GFCI may cause the spa's
Power Indicator (on the control panel) to blink. If this occurs, repeat the GFCI test
procedure.

11. Install the spa so proper drainage is provided for the compartment containing
the electrical components.
12. DANGER: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. Install the spa at least five feet
(1.5m) of metal surfaces if, in accordance with the National Electric Code
ANS/NMFPA70-1993, each metal surface is permanently connected to a
minimum No. 8 (8.42mm
bonding connector on the terminal box that is provided for this purpose.)
13. DANGER: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. Do not permit any appliance, such
as a light, telephone, radio, or television within five feet (1.5m) of the spa or
hot tub.
14. WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury:
• The water in the spa should never exceed 104° F (40° C). Water temper-
atures between 100° F (38° C) and 104° F (40° C) are considered safe for a
healthy adult. Lower water temperatures are recommended for extended
use (exceeding 10 minutes) and for young children.
• Since excessive water temperatures have a high potential for causing fetal
damage during the early months of pregnancy, pregnant or possibly pregnant
women should limit spa water temperatures to 100° F (38° C).
• Before entering a spa, the user should measure the water temperature with
an accurate thermometer since the tolerance of temperature-regulating
devices may vary as much as +/- 5° F (3° C).
• The use of drugs, alcohol, or medication before or during spa use may lead
to unconsciousness with the possibility of drowning.
• Persons suffering from obesity or with a medical history of heart disease, low
or high blood pressure, circulatory system problems or diabetes should
consult a physician before using the spa.
