RISK OF ELECTROCUTION

• Connect only to a grounded source.

• Do not bury the power cord. A buried power cord may result in death, or serious

personal injury due to electrocution if direct burial-type cable is not used, or if improper

digging occurs.

• A ground terminal (pressure wire connector) is provided on the control box inside the

unit to permit connection of a minimum No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm) solid copper bonding

conductor between this point and any metal equipment, metal water pipe, metal enclosures

of electrical equipment, or conduit within five feet (1.5 m) of the unit as needed to comply

with local requirements.

• To reduce the risk of electrocution, replace all damaged cords immediately. Failure to do

so may result in death or serious personal injury due to electrocution.

AVOIDING RISK O F ELECTRICAL SHOCK

• Do not permit any electrical appliance, such as a light, telephone, radio or television within

5 feet (1.5m) of a spa. These units DO NOT have an internal ground fault circuit interrupter.

The installation of a ground fault circuit interrupter MUST be done by a qualified Electrician

and must meet all local and national codes. Failure to maintain a safe distance may result in

death, or serious personal injury due to electrocution, if the appliance should fall into the spa.

• Install at least 5 feet (1.5 m) from all metal surfaces. A spa may be installed within 5 feet

of a metal surface if each metal surface is permanently connected by a minimum No. 8

AWG (8.4 mm) solid copper conductor attached to the wire ground connector on the

terminal box that is provided for this purpose if in accordance with National Electrical

Code ANSI/NMFPA70-1993.

• Install your spa in such a way that drainage is away from the electrical compartment and

from all electrical components.
