Ꮨ DANGER
When using electrical products, basic precautions should always be followed,
including the following:
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. Connect the bathtub only to a circuit protected by a
ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI). Use a 15 AMP GFCI breaker only.
The National Electric Code requires the use of a ground fault circuit interrupter on
all therapeutic pools and tubs (hydrotherapeutic tanks). Failure to follow this
requirement could result in serious or fatal injury.
Grounding is required. The ground wire MUST be continuous from the motor to
the GFCI service panel.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD. All disassembly and maintenance of the tub
MUST be done by a qualified technician, certified electrician or plumber. Be certain
all electrical work is in compliance with local electrical codes.
All electrical connections are to be water resistant.
Disconnect electrical supply or turn off the circuit breaker before performing any
maintenance to the tub to avoid electrical shock.
ƽ WARNING
All electrical conduit, fittings and wire to unit are to be supplied and installed by a
professional electrician in accordance with the National electrical code as a
minimum requirement, including the supply and installation of a Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupter (GFCI).
For Canadian installation, ground fault interrupter and a 30-minute maximum
timer MUST be installed in the electrical circuit. (parts not supplied by ICCG). The
unit must be operated through the circuit. The 30-minute timer must be located in
