IMPORTANT SAFETY
When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be adhered to,
including the following:
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
1.
2. Read and follow all General Safety Instructions provided on pg. 4.
3. A terminal marked "GROUND" is provided within the motor control enclosure. To reduce the risk
of electrical shock, connect this terminal to the grounding terminal of the electric supply panel with
a continuous green insulated copper wire equivalent in size to the circuit conductors supplying this
equipment.
4. This equipment must be provided with a ground fault circuit interrupter located in the power
supply panel as installed by an electrician. Before each use of your spa, with the power turned on,
push the test button. A red indicator should appear. Push the reset button, and the red indicator
should disappear. IF THE INTERRUPTER FAILS TO OPERATE IN THIS MANNER, THERE IS A
GROUND CURRENT FLOWING, INDICATING THE POSSIBILITY OF AN ELECTRIC SHOCK.
Shut off the power to the spa until the source of the breakdown has been identified and
corrected.
5. The electrical service panel should be equipped with a 50-amp GFCI overcurrent protective device.
6. The minimum supply conductor capacity is 50 Amp and should be sized as follows:
No. 6 AWG, or No. 8 AWG 75
7. The electrical supply for the spa 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,
ANSI/NFPA 70-1999. The disconnecting means must be readily accessible to the spa occupant but
must not be within 5 feet of the spa.
