General Electrical Safety Instructions

Your new Sundance

®

Spa is equipped with a "state-of-the-art"

equipment system. It contains the most advanced safety and self-

protective equipment in the industry. Nonetheless, this spa must be

installed properly to ensure dependable usage. Please contact your

local Sundance dealer or local building department should you have any

questions regarding your installation.
Proper grounding is extremely important. Sundance spas are equipped

with a current collector system. A pressure wire connector is provided

on the surface of the control box, located outside the equipment door

(Figure B, page 14) to permit connection of a bonding wire between

this point and any ground metal equipment, metal water pipe or conduit

within 5 feet (1.5m) of the spa, or copper clad grounding rod buried

within 5 feet (1.5m) of the spa. Bonding wire must be at least No. 8 AWG

(8.4 mm²) solid copper wire. This is a most important safety assurance

feature.

Before installing your spa, check with your local building department to

ensure installation conforms to local building codes.
