it, the possibility of an electric shock.
Disconnect the power until the problem
has been corrected.
NOTE: This will reset the filter cycle.
230 VOLT, CONVERTED MODELS:
• A ground terminal is provided on the
control box. To reduce the risk of electric
shock, connect this terminal to the
grounding terminal of your electrical service
or subpanel 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 solid copper wire to any metal
ladders, water pipes, or other metal within
5 ft (1.5 m) of the spa to comply with local
requirements. The means of disconnection
must be readily accessible, but must be
installed at least 5 ft (1.5 m) from the spa.
• Your spa requires a suitably rated circuit
breaker to open all ungrounded supply
conductors.
• Your spa must have a ground fault circuit
interrupter in an electrical subpanel. Before
each use of the spa and with the unit
operating, push the TEST button on the
breaker. The switch should click over to the
"Trip" position. Wait 30 seconds and reset
the GFCI breaker by switching it completely
off and then completely on. The switch
should then stay on. If the interrupter
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.
IMPORTANT: 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.

DANGER: RISK OF
ELECTRICAL SHOCK
• Install spa at least 5 feet (1.5 m) from all
metal surfaces. A spa may be installed
within 5 ft (1.5 m) of a metal surface if each
metal surface is permanently connected
by a minimum No. 10 AWG solid copper
conductor attached to the wire ground
connector on the terminal box that is
provided for this purpose if in accordance
with National Electrical Code.
• Do not permit any electrical appliances,
such as a light, telephone, radio, or
television within 5 ft (1.5 m) of a spa.
Failure to maintain a safe distance may
result in death or serious personal injury
due to electrocution if the appliance should
fall into the spa.
• Install your spa in such a way that drainage
is away from the electrical compartment
and from all electrical components.
DO:
• Be sure your spa is connected to the power
supply correctly - use a licensed electrical
contractor.
• Disconnect the spa from the power supply
before draining the spa or servicing the
electrical components.
• Test the Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
before each use.
DON'T:
• Use the spa with the equipment
compartment door removed.
• Place electrical appliances within 5 ft
(1.5m) of the spa.
• Use an extension cord to connect the spa
to its power source. The cord may not be
properly grounded and the connection is
a shock hazard. An extension cord may
cause a voltage drop, which will cause
overheating of the jet pump motor and
motor damage.
• Attempt to open the electrical control box.
There are no user serviceable parts inside.
