SPA COVER INSTALLATION

Place the cover squarely on the spa.

Position the tie-down locks included with your cover on the side of the spa so that they are easily reached by the cover tie-down straps. Allow for about 1/2” to 3/4” slack in the straps to make it easy to insert straps into locks and to compensate for vinyl shrinkage in cold weather.

• Attach the locks with the screws provided and insert the cover tie-down straps into the locks.

NOTE: Keeping the cover in place any time the spa is not in use will reduce the amount of time the heater operates, thereby minimizing operating costs.

DANGER. RISK OF INJURY.

Never leave a spa uncovered or unattended.

Never leave a spa cover unlocked.

Do not stand, sit, or lie on the cover.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

SELECTING THE VOLTAGE FOR YOUR SPA

Your spa is designed to operate at either 115 or 230 volts, 60 Hz, unless it is the Mallorca® or La PalmaTM models which requires a dedicated 230 volt power supply. When the spa is connected to 115 volts, the heater will provide approximately 1000 watts of heat only when the pump is operating in LOW speed and the thermostat is calling for heat. When the spa is connected to 230 volts, the heater will provide approximately 4000 watts of heat when the pump is operating in LOW or HIGH speed and the thermostat is calling for heat.

All electrical connections must be made in accordance with the wiring information contained in the electrical control box or on the back of the field wiring access panel of the equipment module.

115 VOLT INSTALLATION

Spas provided with a factory- installed power supply cord are to be plugged into a grounded, grounding type, 115 volt, 20 ampere receptacle (Trinidad® and Sorrento® models). No other electrical appliance or fixture can be used on this circuit.

IMPORTANT: Under NO circumstances should an extension cord be used. Use of an extension cord will seriously degrade the performance of the equipment module and can create an electrical hazard.

230 VOLT INSTALLATION

When using 230 volt power supply, installation of a 50 amp dedicated circuit is required. Your spa must be hardwired direct to a GFCI-protected subpanel by a licensed electrician. A wiring diagram is provided inside the equipment module showing where the connections are to be made.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS AND PRECAUTIONS

Your Hot Spot® spa has been carefully designed to give you maximum safety against electrical shock. Connecting the spa to an improperly wired circuit will negate many of the spa’s safety features. Improper wiring may also cause electrocution, risk of fire, and other risks of injuries. Please read and follow the electrical installation requirements and instructions for your spa completely!

115-230 VOLT CONVERSION

SORRENTO (Model SOR) TRINIDAD (Model TRI)

Refer to the following instructions to convert your 115 volt Hot Spot spa to a 230 volt spa.

NOTE: Converting the spa to 230 volts operation should only be done by an authorized service agent or a qualified electrician. The conversion requires a subpanel (230 volt) which may be purchased from your Authorized dealer. Ask for part # 38661.

1.Disconnect the power cord from the house receptacle.

2.Remove the screws and open the equipment compartment door.

3.Remove the screws from the control box.

4.Open the control box cover.

5.Remove the power cord wires, and the power jumper wire (from line 2 and neutral) on the line side of the terminal block.

6.Locate Program Jumper JMP 1, using a pair of needle nose pliers, carefully move the parked (spare) jumper onto JP1 (see Figure on next page).

A licensed electrician must install the subpanel (available from your dealer) to supply power to the spa. The subpanel must be placed in sight of the spa at a minimum distance of 5 (1.5 meters) feet away.
