SAFETY COMES FIRST. WHEN INSTALLING & USING THIS ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT,
BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS MUST ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED!
1 READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
2 Electrical installation must be completed by a qualified
electrician in accordance with all National, Regional and
Local Codes and Regulations in effect at the time of
installation.
3 Connect only to a dedicated circuit protected by a class ‘A’
two-pole ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
4 Use copper conductors only!
5 The hot tub equipment and all electrical plugs, outlets and
lights within 1.5m (5ft) of the unit must be G.F.C.I protected.
Consult your electrician or local electrical authority for further
details.
6 A green colored terminal or a terminal marked “G”, “GR”,
“Ground”, or “Grounding” 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 supplying the equipment.
7 At least two lugs marked “BONDING LUGS” are provided
on the external surface or on the inside of the supply
terminal box or compartment. To reduce the risk of electric
shock, connect the local common bonding grid in the area of
the hot tub to these terminals with an insulated or bare
copper conductor not smaller than No.6 AWG (Canada/
Europe) / No.8 AWG (USA).
8 All field installed metal components such as rails, ladders,
drains or other similar hardware within 3 m (10 ft) of the hot
tub shall be bonded to the equipment grounding bus with
copper conductors not smaller than No.6 AWG.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
• This guide is for standard installations where the wire run
is 15 m (50 ft.) or less. For longer wire runs, consult a
qualified electrician.
WIRE SIZE
NORTH AMERICA
• The minimum wire size for systems that require a 50A GFCI is # 6/4 c/w ground (also referred to as # 6 gauge / 4 conductor).
• The minimum wire size for systems that require a 60A GFCI is # 6/4 c/w ground (also referred to as # 6 gauge / 4 conductor).
NOTE: Please consult your applicable electrical codes related to the size of conductors as they may vary from what is
stated above. Take into consideration the length of cable as well and increase as required.
