IMPORTANT ELECTRICAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAFETY COMES FIRST. WHEN INSTALLING & USING THIS ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT,
1 READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
2 Electrical installation must be completed by a qualified elec-
trician 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 interrupter (GFCI)
4 Use copper conductors only!
5 The hot tub equipment and all electrical plugs, outlets and
lights within 1.5m (5ft) of the unit must be G.F.C.I 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 termi-
nal 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 continu-
ous 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 termi-
nal 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 con-
ductor 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 3 m (10 ft) of the hot
tub shall be bonded to the equipment grounding bus with
copper conductors not smaller than No.6 AWG.
WIRE SIZE
NORTH AMERICA
• The minimum wire size for systems that require a 40A GFCI is # 8/3 c/w ground (also referred to as # 8 gauge / 4 conductor).
• The minimum wire size for systems that require a 50A GFCI is # 8/3 c/w ground (also referred to as # 8 gauge / 4 conductor).
EUROPE
Standards for amperage breakers may vary from country to country in the CE controlled area. Please consult your local installer
for advice on breaker level and wire specifications. Some examples are below:
Breaker of 13A –wire must be 1.5 mm2
Breaker of 16A—wire must be 2.5 mm2
Breaker of 20A—wire must be 4.0 mm2
Breaker of 32A—wire must be 6.0 mm2
NOTE: Please consult your applicable electrical codes related to the size of conductors as they may vary from what is
stated above. Take into consideration the length of cable as well and increase as required.
BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS MUST ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED!
IMPORTANT NOTE:
• This guide is for standard installations where the wire run
is 15 m (50 ft.) or less. For longer wire runs, consult a quali-
fied electrician.
