between this unit and any metal equipment, metal enclosures of
electrical equipment, metal water pipe, or conduit within 5 feet (1.5m)
of the unit.
3. DANGER: Risk of Accidental Drowning. Extreme caution must be
exercised to prevent unauthorized access by children. To avoid ac-

attached to the wire connector on the grounding lug, inside the equip-
ment compartment on the equipment box.
6. DANGER: Risk of Electric Shock. Do not permit any electrical appli-
ance, such as a light, telephone, radio, television, etc. within 5 feet
(1.5m) of a hot tub unless such appliances are built-in by the manu-
facturer.

include a suitably rated switch or circuit breaker to open all unground-
ed supply conductors to comply with section 422-20 of the National
