Page 6J-400 Series6. Never bring any electrical appliances into or near the spa. Never operate anyelectrical appliances from inside the spa or when you are wet unless suchappliances are built-in by the manufacturer.7. Proper chemical maintenance of spa water is necessary to maintain safewater and prevent possible damage to spa components.8. Use the straps and clip tie downs to secure the cover when not in use. Thiswill help to discourage unsupervised children from entering the spa andkeep the spa cover secure in high-wind conditions. There is no representa-tion that the cover, clip tie-downs, or actual locks will prevent access to thespa.3.0 Choosing a LocationIMPORTANT: Because of the combined weight of the spa, water and users, it isextremely important that the base upon which the spa rests be smooth, flat, leveland capable of uniformly supporting this weight, without shifting or settling, forthe entire time the spa is in place. If the spa is placed on a surface which doesnot meet these requirements, damage to the skirt and/or the spa shell may result.Damage caused by improper support is not covered under warranty. It is theresponsibility of the spa owner to assure the integrity of the support at all times.We recommend a poured, reinforced concrete slab with a minimum thickness of4 inches (10cm). Wood decking is also acceptable provided it is constructed sothat it meets the requirements outlined above.The spa must be installed in such a manner as to provide drainage away fromit. Placing the spa in a depression without provisions for proper drainage couldallow rain, overflow and other casual water to flood the equipment and createa wet condition in which it would sit in. For spas which will be recessed into afloor or deck, install so as to permit access to the equipment, either from aboveor below, for servicing. Make certain that there are no obstructions which wouldprevent removal of all side cabinet side panels and access to the jet components,especially on the side with the equipment bay.3.1 Outdoor LocationIn selecting the ideal outdoor location for your spa, we suggest that you takeinto consideration:• The proximity to changing area and shelter (especially in colder weather).• The pathway to and from your spa (this should be free of debris so that dirtand leaves are not easily tracked into the spa).• The closeness to trees and shrubbery (remember that leaves and birds couldcreate extra work in keeping the spa clean).• A sheltered environment (less wind and weather exposure can result inlowered operation and maintenance costs).
