J-300 Series J-300 Series 1.0 Important Spa Owner Information Your Jacuzzi® J-300 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 directly exposed to sunlight and high temperatures for an extended period is subject to permanent damage. Damage caused by exposing the spa to this abuse is not covered under warranty.

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.
J-300 Series J-300 Series 4.0 Choosing A Location IMPORTANT: Because of the combined weight of the spa, water and users, it is extremely important that the base upon which the spa rests be smooth, flat, level and capable of uniformly supporting this weight, without shifting or settling, for the entire time the spa is in place. If the spa is placed on a surface which does not meet these requirements, damage to the skirt and/or the spa shell may result.
J-300 Series 4.1 Outdoor Location In selecting the ideal outdoor location for your spa, we suggest that you take into consideration: • • • • • • The proximity to changing area and shelter (especially in colder weather). The pathway to and from your spa (this should be free of debris so that dirt and leaves are not easily tracked into the spa). The closeness to trees and shrubbery (remember that leaves and birds could create extra work in keeping the spa clean).
J-300 Series J-300 Series • Sufficient Access: In the unlikely event that you should ever need to access or gain entry to any portion of the spa for servicing, it is highly recommended that you plan your indoor installation to provide full access to the entire spa. • Warranty: Damage caused by not following these guidelines or any improper installation not in accordance to local codes or authorities is not covered under the spas warranty. Please consult your local state or city building ordinances.
