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.
SAFETY INFORMATION 230 VOLTS: DANGER: RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK • A ground terminal is provided on the control box. To reduce the risk of electric shock, connect this terminal to the grounding terminal of your electrical service or subpanel with a continuous green, insulated copper wire. The wire must be equivalent in size to the circuit conductors supplying the equipment.
SAFETY INFORMATION RISKS TO AVOID DANGER: RISK OF INJURY antihistamines or anticoagulants should not use the spa. Health problems affected by spa use • Pregnant women should consult a physician before using spa. • Persons suffering from obesity or with a medical history of heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory system problems, or diabetes should consult a physician before using spa.

Lower water temperatures are recommended for extended use (exceeding 10 minutes) and for young children. Extended use can cause hyperthermia. • Pregnant or possibly pregnant women should limit spa water temperatures to 100°F (38°C). Failure to do so may result in permanent injury to your baby.
INSTALLATION PLANNING A LOCATION FOR YOUR SPA amounts of moisture are produced. This moisture can damage walls and ceiling surfaces over time. Special paint is available to resist moisture damage. Remember that spas periodically require drainage, so plan your environment accordingly. Consider these things when determining where to place your spa. SAFETY FIRST: Make sure your spa is positioned so access to the equipment compartment and side panels will not be blocked.
INSTALLATION PLANNING A DELIVERY ROUTE: it on an elevated wood deck or other structure, it is advisable to consult a structural engineer or contractor to ensure the structure will support the weight. Check the width of gates, doors and sidewalks to make sure your spa will pass through unobstructed. You may have to remove a gate or part of a fence to allow for adequate width clearance. If the delivery route will require a 90-degree turn, check the measurements at the turn to ensure the spa will fit.

CONTROL PANEL OPERATION I Pump Control Panel INITIAL START-UP - When the spa is first powered up the spa panel display (view right) will go through a specific sequence. This sequence is normal and will display a variety of information regarding the configuration of the control system. After the sequence ends, the control system will start Priming Mode which will last for 4-5 minutes.
CONTROL PANEL OPERATION TEMP ADJUSTMENTS HEAT MODES There are two heat modes you can select from, the Ready Mode (RDY) and Rest Mode (REST). The current water temperature will constantly display on LCD. Press the Warm/Temp ʌ or Cool/ Temp V buttons to display the set temperature (desired temperature). Each time either button is pressed again, the set temperature will increase or decrease depending on which button is pressed.
CONTROL PANEL OPERATION FILTER CYCLES SET FILTER CYCLES To program the cycle times: There are two filter cycles: the first cycle (F1) starts after spa is powered up (if the Time-ofDay) is Not set. A second cycle (F2) is OFF by default. The default duration for the first filter cycle is 1.5 hours. Filter cycles are set using a start time and a duration. Hours are adjusted in 1-hour increments, and minutes are adjusted in 15-minute increments. The end time is calculated and displayed automatically. 1.
CONTROL PANEL OPERATION RESTRICTING OPERATION CONTROL PANEL LOCK/UNLOCK TEMPERATURE LOCK/UNLOCK Locking the panel Prevents the panel and its functions from being used. All automatic functions are still active. Locking the Temperature allows Jets and other features to be used, but the Set Temperature and other programmed settings cannot be adjusted.

COMPONENT OPERATION SPA COMPONENT OPERATION HYDROTHERAPY JETS The hydrotherapy jets are recessed in the wall of the spa. Rotate the large or medium jet faces to turn the jets on or off. Turning a jet on or off will increase or decrease the effects of any jets not in the closed position. AIR CONTROL VALVE The air control valves (smaller valves) serve to regulate the amount of air mixed with the water when the jets are operational. Turn the air control valves in one direction to increased jet action.
FILL-UP AND START-UP INSTRUCTIONS The following procedures should be followed on initial startup and whenever the spa is drained for routine maintenance. Failure to keep enough water in your spa may result in damage to your system and invalidate your warranty. If your spa filter is sucking in air causing the pump to cavitate, you need to add water!

ADDING START-UP CHEMICALS WATER CHEMISTRY GUIDELINES These products should be added in small amounts - 5 ml at a time. After adding 5 ml, wait one half hour before re-measuring. Once the safe range of total alkalinity is established, proceed to the next step. Spa water chemistry is ultimately the responsibility of the spa owner. Improper water chemistry may result in costly repairs not covered under the spa warranty.
SPA MAINTENANCE FILTER CARTRIDGE MAINTENANCE CAUTION! Always use proper eye protection when using chemicals, or high-pressure water.
