Equipment Set-Up1. Remove the plastic sheet covering the spa. Use
care; stepping into the spa with shoes will scratch
the acrylic surface.
2. Remove any packing materials from the spa.
3. Remove each filter cartridge from its plastic bag.
4. Pull open each skimmer/filter door by the handle
located in the middle of the door and remove the
skimmer basket. Then insert the filter cartridge into
the filter housing and re-insert the strainer so that it
fits in place over the filter cartridge and close the
skimmer/filter door. See illustration on page 13.
5. Clean the interior of the spa of any remaining con-
struction debris. Remove stubborn stains, paint, or
tar with turpentine, isopropyl alcohol or paint thin-
ner. A mild liquid dishwashing detergent on a damp
cloth is fine for cleaning off other dirt. Plaster can be
removed by scraping with a wooden edge; do not
use a metal scraper, wire brush, or other metal tools,
as they will damage the spa's surface.
6. Install the skirt panel which was not installed on the
spa at the factory. To do this, secure with the screws
provided in your spa accessory package and follow
instructions provided with panels.

sanitize the system. Carefully follow the procedure
