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.10AWG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.
• Donotoperatethemainaudiocontrolswhileinsidethespa(ifthespaisequippedwithanaudiocomponent).
• Donotconnectanyauxiliarycomponents(forexample,additionalcablespeakers,headphones,orotheraudiocomponents)totheaudiosystemunless
approved by Watkins Manufacturing Corporation.

according to the following instructions per electrical configuration.
230 volt, permanently installed models:
• Agroundterminalisprovidedontheterminalblocklocatedinsidethecontrolbox.Toreducetheriskofelectricshock,connectthisterminaltothegrounding
terminal of your electrical service or supply panel with a continuous green, insulated copper wire. The wire must be equivalent in size to the circuit conductors
supplying the equipment. In addition, a bonding terminal (pressure wire connector) is provided on the outside of the control box for bonding to local ground
points. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this connector should be bonded with a No. 10 AWG solid copper wire to any metal ladders, water pipes, or other
metal within 5 feet (1.5 m) of the spa to comply with local requirements. The means of disconnection must be readily accessible, but must be installed at least 5
feet (1.5 m) from the spa.
• Yourspaisprovidedwithasuitablyratedcircuitbreakertoopenallungroundedsupplyconductors.
• Yourspausesgroundfaultcircuitinterruptersintheelectricalsubpanel.Beforeeachuseofthespaandwiththeunitoperating,pushtheTESTbuttononeach
breaker. The switch should click over to the “Trip” position. Wait 30 seconds and reset each GFCI breaker by switching it completely off, and then completely on.
The switch should then stay on. If either interrupter does not perform in this manner, it is an indication of an electrical malfunction and the possibility of an electric
shock. Disconnect the power until the problem has been corrected.
