MANUFACTURER’S DO’S AND DON’TS
Reading and understanding these warnings will allow you to reduce the risk of causing inadvertent damage to your spa, your surroundings, or yourself. Read these warnings carefully.

SET UP AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
SITE SELECTION
Structure: The spa should always be placed on a structurally strong, smooth and level surface. Concrete is preferred.

LOCAL CODES:
There may be certain restrictions and/or requirements that are particular to your locality.
MAINTENANCE:
Trees, lawn, placement surfaces, etc. can create extra work in keeping your spa area clean and safe. Please be advised that placing your spa near dirt or trees may increase the amount of debris inadvertently brought into the spa water on the feet of users or by the wind. The intrusion of this debris into the spa water may cause harm to your equip- ment as well as the spa surface and is not covered under warranty.
PRIVACY AND WIND SHIELDING:
A sheltered environment can result in lower operating and maintenance costs. You may also want to take into consideration your privacy during times of the year when trees may be barren, having the spa located where you have a view of a peaceful sunset, where you may be able to catch soothing breezes, or your view and the view of your neighbors may also be
something that you should address prior to the final installa- tion of your spa.
