IMPORTANT ELECTRICAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAFETY COMES FIRST WHEN INSTALLING & USING THIS ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT, BASIC
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS MUST ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED!
1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
2. Electrical installation must be completed by a qualified electrician in accordance with all National,
Regional and Local Codes and Regulations in effect at the time of installation.
3. Connect only to a dedicated circuit protected by a class "A" two-pole ground fault circuit in-
terrupter (GFCI).
4. Use copper conductors only.
5. The hot tub equipment and all electrical plugs, outlets and lights within 1.5m (5 ft) of the unit must be
GFCI protected. Consult your electrician or local electrical authority for further details.
6. A green colored terminal or a terminal marked "G", "GR", "Ground", or "Grounding" is located inside
the supply terminal box or compartment. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this terminal must be
connected to the grounding means provided in the electric supply service panel with a continuous
copper wire equivalent in size to the circuit conductors supplying the equipment.
7. At least two lugs marked "BONDING LUGS" are provided on the external surface or on the inside
of the supply terminal box or compartment. To reduce the risk of electric shock, connect the local
common bonding grid in the area of the hot tub to these terminals with an insulated or bare copper
conductor not smaller than No. 6 AWG (Canada/Europe) / No. 8 AWG (USA).
8. All field installed metal components such as rails, ladders, drains or other similar hardware within 3m
(10 ft) of the hot tub shall be bonded to the equipment grounding bus with copper conductors not
smaller than No. 6 AWG.
