Attention New Spa Owner! Congratulations on the purchase of your new Sundance® 680 series spa! The following is a list of automated functions and maintenance recommendations for your new spa. Automated functions have been listed below in an attempt to suppress any operational concerns you may have during startup and the first 24-hours of ownership! Maintenance recommendations are listed in an attempt to stress their importance in protecting your new spa.
1.0 Important Spa Owner Information Your Sundance® 680 series spa is constructed to the highest standards and is capable of providing many years of trouble-free use. However, because heat retentive materials are utilized to insulate the spa for efficient operation, an uncovered spa surface and wall fittings directly exposed to sunlight and high temperatures for an extended period is subject to permanent damage or discoloration.
3.0 Important Safety Instructions READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY! When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precau- tions should always be followed, including: 1. WARNINg: To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product unless they are closely supervised at all times.
Page 7
National Electrical Code/USA, ANSI/NFPA 70. The disconnect must be readily accessible and visible to the spa occupant but installed at least 5 feet (1.5m) from the spa water. 8. WARNINg: To Reduce the Risk of Injury: 9. The water in a spa should never exceed 104°F (40°C). Water temperatures between 100°F (38°C) and 104°F (40°C) are consid- ered safe for a healthy adult.
3.1 Important CSA Safety Instructions (Canada only) When using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following: 1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS. 2. A green colored terminal or a terminal marked G, Gr, Ground, Grounding or the symbol* is located inside the supply terminal box or compartment.
WARNINg: Pregnant or possibly pregnant women should consult a physician before using a spa. WARNINg: Water temperature in excess of 38°C (104°F) may be injurious to your health. WARNINg: Before entering the spa, measure the water temperature with an accurate thermometer. WARNINg: Do not use a spa immediately following strenuous exercise.
3.3 Cautions 1. Persons suffering from heart disease, diabetes, high or low blood pressure, and any condition requiring medical treatment, pregnant women, the elderly, or infants should consult with a physician before using a spa. 2. The Consumer Products Safety Commission/USA has stated that the water temperature in a spa should not exceed 104°F (40°C).
within 5 feet (1.5m) of the spa, or copper clad grounding rod buried within 5 feet (1.5m) of the spa. Bonding wire must be at least No. 8 AWG (8.4mm ) solid copper wire. This is a most important safety assurance feature.
• The closeness to trees and shrubbery (remember that leaves and birds could create extra work in keeping the spa clean). • A sheltered environment (less wind and weather exposure can result in lower operation and maintenance costs). • The overall enhancement of your environment. It is preferable not to place the spa under an unguttered roof overhang since run-off water will shorten the life expectancy of the spa cover.
• WARRANTY: Damage caused by not following these guidelines or any improper installation not in accordance with local codes or au- thorities is not covered under the spas warranty. Please consult your local state or city building ordinances. WARNINg: In addition to maintenance of filters and water chemistry, proper ventilation is recommended to reduce the risk of exposure to viruses and bacteria that could be present in the air or water.
6.0 Electrical Wiring Instructions IMPORTANT NOTICE: The electrical wiring of this spa must meet the requirements of the National Electrical Code/USA (NEC) and any applicable state or local codes. The electrical circuit must be installed by a qualified electrician and approved by a local building/electrical inspection authority.
