(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. 8 AWG (8.4 mm

) 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.

• Yourspausesgroundfaultcircuitinterruptersintheelectricalsubpanel.Beforeeachuseofthespaandwiththeunitoperating,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 of the interrupters 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 fault has been
identified and corrected.
NOTE: Failure to wait 30 seconds before resetting the GFCI may cause the spa’s Power Indicator (on the control panel) to blink. If this
occurs, repeat the GFCI test procedure.
