3.1 Important Safety Instrucons
When using this electrical equipment, basic safety precauons should always be followed, in-
cluding the following:
1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
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 connuous copper wire equivalent in size to the cir-
cuit conductors that supply this equipment.
3. At least two lugs marked “Bonding Lugs” are provided on the external surface or on the
inside of the supply terminal box/compartment. For the equipotential connection as re-
quired by specific national standards, the installer must use the above terminals
(standard EN 60335.2.60). In particular, an equipotential condition must be established
for all metallic masses surrounding the spa, for example water and gas pipes, metallic
platforms, and so on.
4. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
4.0 Choosing a Locaon
IMPORTANT: Because of the combined weight of the swim spa, water and users, it is ex-
tremely important that the base upon which the swim spa rests be smooth, flat, level and ca-
pable of uniformly supporng 1220 kg/m

, without shiing or seling, for the enre me the
swim spa is in place. If the swim spa is placed on a surface, which does not meet these re-
quirements, damage to the skirt and/or the swim spa shell may result. Damage caused by im-
proper support is not covered under warranty. It is the responsibility of the swim spa owner
to ensure the integrity of the support at all mes. We recommend a poured, reinforced con-
crete slab with a minimum thickness of 4 inches (10cm). Wood decking is also acceptable pro-
vided it is constructed so that I meets the requirements outlined above.
WARNING: For swim spas that are to rest on roofs or other plaorms not specifi-
cally ed into main structural supports, consult a professional Structural Engineer
with experience in this type of applicaon.
