When using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should 

always be followed, including the following:

1.

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. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this terminal 

must be connected to the grounding means provided in the electric 

supply service panel with a continuous copper wire equivalent in size 

to the circuit conductors that supply this equipment. *IEC Publication 

417, Symbol 5019.

3.  At least two lugs marked “Bonding Lugs” are provided on the 

external surface or on the inside of the supply terminal box/

compartment. To reduce the risk of electric shock, connect the local 

common bonding grid in the area of the spa to these terminals with 

an insulated or bare copper conductor not smaller than No. 6 AWG 

(10 mm²).

4.  All field-installed metal components such as rails, ladders, drains or 

other similar hardware within 10 feet (3m) of the spa shall be bonded 

to the equipment grounding buss with copper conductors not smaller 

than No. 6 AWG (10 mm²).

5.

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 support-

ing 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. Damage caused by improper support is not covered 

under warranty. It is the responsibility of the spa owner to assure 

the integrity of the support at all times. We recommend a poured, 

reinforced concrete slab with a minimum thickness of 4 inches (10 

cm). Wood decking is also acceptable provided it is constructed so 

that it meets the requirements outlined above.
