Pre-Delivery Instructions
Please take the time to read this booklet carefully, as it will provide you with the information you will need to ensure
the safe, secure, and timely installation of your new spa. The following sections are guidelines on how to prepare for
delivery and set-up of your new spa. Specifically covered are site selection, delivery access, ground preparation, and
electrical requirements.
Remember to carefully read the Owner's Manual that accompanies your spa, and to complete the Warranty Card
within 10 days of delivery. These items, along with other valuable information, will be found in the Owner's Package
which has been placed in the equipment compartment of your spa, where you will also find its serial number.

In most cities and counties, permits will be required for the installation of electrical circuits or the construction of
exterior surfaces (decks and gazebos). In addition, some communities have adopted residential barrier codes which
may require fencing and/or self-closing gates on the property to prevent unsupervised access to a pool (or spa) by
children under 5 years of age. Your Hot Spring spa is equipped with a locking cover that meets the ASTM F1346-91
Standard for Safety Covers and as a result, is usually exempt from most barrier requirements. As a general practice,
your local Building Department will inform you of any applicable barrier requirements at the time a permit is obtained
for the installation of an electrical circuit. Your Hot Spring dealer can provide information on which permits may be
required.

Page 2: Site Selection And Preparation
Site Selection and Preparation IMPORTANT: Site selection and preparation are your responsibility. Carefully read these instructions and consult ® your authorized Hot Spring dealer if you have any questions. You probably have a spot picked out for your new spa, whether it’s indoors or outdoors, on a patio or on a deck. Just make sure you check the following: • Always put your spa on a structurally sound, level surface. A filled spa can weigh a great deal. Make certain that the location you choose can support the weight of your filled spa. - Page 3 NOTE: If your spa delivery requires the use of a crane, you may be required to pay for its services at the completion of the delivery.

garage circuits, etc.). If the spa is connected to a non-dedicated circuit, overloading will result in “nuisance tripping” at the main panel. This requires frequent resetting of the breaker switch at the house electrical breaker panel and introduces the possibility of damage or failure of spa equipment. The dedicated circuit must be properly wired; that is, it must have a 20-amp GFCI circuit breaker in the house breaker panel, #12 AWG or larger wire (including the ground wire) and the correct polarity throughout the circuit. -
