*The above models are manufactured with the Champion Spas® 110V/220V convertible spa
pack . The unit is factory wired for 220 Volt applications with 4 kW heater operation . The model
!
can be converted for 110 Volt applications and to run with a 1 kW heater operation .
The 110 Volt model must be connected to a "dedicated" 110 Volt 20 Amp grounded
!
circuit. The term "dedicated" means the electrical circuit is not being used for any other
electrical items (lights, appliances, etc.). If the spa is connected to a non-dedicated
circuit, overloading will occur and nuisance tripping of the GFCI breaker switch at the
house breaker panel or GFCI cord will occur. Never connect the spa to an extension
cord due to the potential for fire from wires overheating.
The 110 Volt models may be optionally equipped with a GFCI power cord
(approximately 13 feet long). This model must be plugged into a grounding type,
110 Volt 20 Amp receptacle as shown below. No other electrical appliances or fixtures
should be used on this circuit.
