5. Open drain valve by pulling the "T" handle drain valve outward from the
pipe. After draining, always remember to close the "T" valve and reinstall
the threaded plug to prevent water from seeping past the valve prior to
refilling. Refer to "Start-Up Instructions" (page 13).

1 1.3 Cleaning The Hot Tub Interior

To preserve the sheen of your hot tub's surface, it is crucial that you
avoid using abrasive cleaners or cleaners which have adverse chemical
effect on the surface. If you are not certain as to the suitability of a par-
ticular cleanser, consult your authorized Sundance Dealer. Regardless of
the cleanser used, use extreme care to assure that no soap residue is left on the
surface. This could cause severe sudsing when the hot tub is refilled.

1 1.4 Pillow Care

Remove and clean the headrest pillows as needed with soapy water using a
cloth or soft-bristle brush. To maintain water resistance and luster, apply a
quality vinyl conditioner once a month. Always remove the pillows when
adding chemical shock treatment to the hot tub water. The pillows can be returned
to the hot tub when the sanitizer reading drops below 5 ppm.
IMPORTANT: Never attempt to remove the pillows by pulling on them! The
pillows utilize a bolt-on design that prohibits removal without tools.
To remove pillows:
1. Grasp center pillow insert (A) with finger tips
and gently pry outward from pillow base (C).
2. Use a standard screwdriver to loosen and
remove mounting bolts (B) from pillow base.
3. Assemble in reverse order after cleaning. DO
NOT overtighten pillow mounting bolts!

1 1.5 Maintaining The Wood Cabinet

With time and exposure to the elements, the wood on your hot tub will tend to
loose its new appearance. Protecting or reviving the wood surfaces is a fairly
simple process. Light sanding with fine-grit sandpaper will help smooth any
roughness and regular applications of a penetrating wood preservative will
enhance and protect the richness of the wood. A specially formulated wood stain
available from your Sundance dealer is ideal for this. NOTE: Do not apply
varnish, shellac or other surface sealants to the wood. These tend to react
with the chemicals in the wood and the UV rays of the sun, causing yellow-
ing, flaking and peeling.
