3.4 General Electrical Safety Instructions
Your new Sundance ® 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

questions regarding your installation.
Proper grounding is extremely important. Sundance 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 14) 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
ensure installation conforms to local building codes.
