Vita Spa LD-15 Series - Manual (Page 6)

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Site Selection/Preparation
The spa must be installed on a structurally strong, solid and reasonably level surface. The
site should allow for drainage away from the equipment compartment in which the elec-
trical components are housed. Take into account the following when considering
prospective sites:
LOCAL CODES:
There may be certain restrictions and/or requirements that are particular to your locality.
DELIVERY PASSAGEWAY:
Doors, halls, stairs, etc. may pose obstructions to deliver the spa to its intended site.
MAINTENANCE:
Trees, lawn, placement surfaces, etc. can create extra work in keeping your spa and spa
area clean and safe.
PRIVACY & WIND SHIELDING
A sheltered environment can result in lower operating and maintenance costs.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS AND INSTALLATION:
Important:
Your spa is wired to meet the requirements of UL, ETL, and the National
Electrical Code (NEC). Any modifications required to meet state or local codes must be
performed by a qualified, LICENSED electrical contractor and approved by a local build-
ing/electrical inspection authority.
1. Your spa operates on 110v and draws approximately 8-10 amps while operating. The
spa comes equipped with a GFCI (ground fault circuit) built into the supplied 15 foot
power cord.Therefore, your spa must not be plugged into a GFCI protected receptacle.
2. You can plug the spa into any standard 15 amp., 3 prong “NEMA” female receptacle.
Special 20 amp. outlets are not required. Simply feed the cord through the slot located
in the equipment area and plug it in. Care should be taken not to overload the recep-
tacle with other appliances. To do so may cause overheating, or the inconvenience of
GFCI tripping.
3. The spa is equipped with a thermo-overload for the pump which shuts the pump off
if it becomes too hot.The spa is also equipped with a high limit switch that will trip and
shut off the pump if the temperature of the spa reaches 118 degrees.
