4.0 General Electrical Safety Instructions
Your new Sundance ® hot tub is equipped with the “state-of-the-art”
Sentry ™
equipment system. It contains the most advanced safety and
self-protective equipment in the industry. Nonetheless, this hot tub must
be installed properly to ensure dependable usage. Please contact your
local Sundance Spas 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 C, page 13) 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 mm²) solid copper wire. This is a most important safety
assurance feature.
Before installing your hot tub, check with your local building department
to ensure installation conforms to local building codes.
