3.3 Important CSA Safety Instructions (Canada Only)
When using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
1.
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
2. A green colored terminal or a terminal marked G, Gr, Ground,
Grounding or the symbol* is located inside the supply terminal box or compartment. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this terminal must be connected to the grounding means provided in the electric supply service panel with a continuous copper wire equivalent in size to the circuit conductors that supply this equipment (*IEC Publication
417, Symbol 5019).
3. At least two lugs marked “Bonding Lugs” are provided on the external surface or on the inside of the supply terminal box/ compartment. To reduce the risk of electric shock, connect the local common bonding grid in the area of the spa to these terminals with an insulated or bare copper conductor not smaller than No. 6 AWG
(10 mm²).
4. All field installed metal components such as rails, ladders, drains or other similar hardware within 10 feet (3m) of the spa shall be bonded to the equipment grounding buss with copper conductors not smaller than No. 6 AWG (10 mm²).
5. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
3.4 General Electrical Safety Instructions
Your new Jacuzzi 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 Jacuzzi dealer or local building department should you have any questions regarding your installation.
Proper grounding is extremely important. Jacuzzi 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 16) 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 insure installation conforms to local building codes.
