4.0 General Electrical Safety Instructions
Your new Sundance hot tub is equipped with the "state-of-the-art" Sentry
TM
equipment system. It contains the most advanced safety and self-protective
equipment in the industry. Nonetheless, this hot tub must be installed prop-
erly to insure dependable usage. Please contact your dealer or local building
department should you have any questions regarding your installation.
Proper grounding is extremely important. Sundance hot tubs are equipped
with a current collector system. A pressure wire connector is provided on the
surface of the control box, located inside the equipment door (Figure B, page
10) 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 hot tub, or copper clad grounding rod buried within 5 feet (1.5m) of the
hot tub. Bonding wire must be at least No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm
2
) solid copper
wire. This is a most important safety assurance feature.
Before installing this hot tub, check with the local building department to
insure installation conforms to local building codes.
