ALERT
Your new swim spa GFCI will trip.
A Ground Fault Interrupter (GFCI) Trip Test must occur to al-
low proper spa function.
Your swim spa came with special instructions for the install-
er / electrician. If they have not already advised you on what
to do or expect from the GFCI Trip Test, please contact them
for instructions.
If the GFCI breaker connected to your swim spa trips, this is
normal behavior. Please reset the breaker and enjoy your
spa. The trip test has been completed successfully.
If your swim spa was not wired to a GFCI breaker or your
breaker fails the GFCI Trip Test, the spa will repeatedly at-
tempt (at preset intervals) to trip the breaker in the future
until such time that it triggers a GFCI Trip. If a GFCI does not
trip properly, your spa's display will show an error message.
GFCI breakers are important safety devices required by code
for your swim spa. For more information, refer to your dealer
or to the section in your Owner's Manual titled "Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupter. "
