PRODUCT DAMAGE OR ELECTRICAL FIRE.
This hot tub must be permanently connected (hard-wired) to the
power supply. No plug-in connections or extension cords are
to be used in conjunction with the operation of this hot tub.
Supplying power to the hot tub, which is not in accordance with these
instructions, will void both the independent testing agency listing and
the manufacturer's warranty.
2. The power supplied to this hot tub must be a dedicated circuit with no
other appliances or lights sharing the power provided by the circuit.
3. To determine the current, voltage and wire size required, refer to
Section 7.0 "Power Requirements" (page 15) for your specific hot
tub model.
• Wire size must be appropriate per NEC and/or local codes.
• We recommend type THHN wire. All wiring must be copper to ensure
proper connections. Do not use aluminum wire.
• When using wire larger than #6 (10 mm²), add a junction box near
the hot tub and reduce to short lengths of #6 (10 mm²) wire to
connect to the hot tub.
4. The electrical supply for this product must include a suitably rated
switch or circuit breaker to open all ungrounded supply conductors
to comply with Section 422-20 of the National Electrical Code/USA,
ANSI/NFPA 70. The disconnecting means must be readily accessible
to the hot tub's occupant but installed at least 5 feet (1.5m) from hot

8. For Europe, the hot tub should be supplied through a residual current
device (RCD) with a rated tripping current not exceeding 30mA (IEC
60335-2-60).
9. For Germany, the hot tub should be supplied through a residual
current device (RCD) with a rated tripping current not exceeding
10mA (IEC 60335-2-60).
