IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF DROWNING, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR SERIOUS INJURY, READ
THE FOLLOWING IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS BEFORE USING THE RESTORATION 5.1.
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
1. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure 9. Do not bring any object into the hydrothera-
that all users of the hydrotherapy spa are
adequately informed of all precautions.
py spa that could damage the spa shell.
10. Never insert any object into any opening.
2. Use the hydrotherapy spa only as described
in this manual.
11. Do not use breakable containers near or in
the hydrotherapy spa.
3. The hydrotherapy spa is intended for home
use only. Do not use this product in any
commercial, rental, or institutional setting.
12. Do not sit on the spa cover or place objects
on it. It is not designed to support weight.
4. Use the hydrotherapy spa only on a level
surface. Do not use the hydrotherapy spa on
carpet or other materials that could be dam-
aged by moisture. Do not use the hydrother-
apy spa on rough or sharp surfaces such as
gravel or wood chips.
13. Remove any water or debris which may col-
lect on the spa cover.
14. Keep children under 12 and pets away from
the hydrotherapy spa when it is not in use.
15. Keep all chemicals away from children and
pets.
5. The hydrotherapy spa will weigh approxi-
mately 2000 pounds when it is filled with
water. Be sure that the location you select for 16. The pH and chemical balance of the water

must be maintained as explained in this man-
ual (see pages 12 and 17). Failure to do so
may cause injury to users or damage to the
spa, and will void the warranty.
6. Inspect and tighten all parts often; replace
any worn or missing parts immediately.
17. Individuals with infections and open sores or
wounds should not use the hydrotherapy
spa. Bacteria thrive in warm and hot water.
Always keep your spa disinfected and main-
tain the proper chemical balance.
7. DANGERÑRisk of injury: Do not remove or
alter the covers on the suction fittings. Never
operate the hydrotherapy spa if the suction
guard is missing or broken. If you need to
replace a suction fitting, be sure that the flow
rate of the replacement is compatible. Keep
hair and body away from the suction guard.
Do not allow long hair to float freely in the
water; long hair should be restrained with a
bathing cap.
18. Shower before and after using the hydrother-
apy spa. This will remove any deodorant,
perspiration, or body oils which could conta-
minate the water. Showering after will
remove any residual chemicals and will also
remove any residual bacteria which may
have been in the spa.
8. IMPORTANT: Do not allow the hydrotherapy
spa to be exposed to direct sunlight when it
is empty. The surface of the spa shell can
reach temperatures as high as 150¡F in a
matter of minutes if exposed to the sun while
it is empty. These high temperatures can
cause significant damage, such as blistering
of the shell surface and warping of the spa
shell. Any damage caused by sun exposure
is not covered under warranty.
19. DANGERÑThe hydrotherapy spa must be
wired directly into a 240 volt power source
(see WIRING THE RESTORATION 5.1 on page
10). Only a qualified electrician can perform
this procedure. No other appliance should be
on the same circuit. Replace the power cord
immediately if damaged.

20. DANGERÑIf you will be using the hydrother-
apy spa outside, do not bury the power cord;
you should also keep the power cord away
from lawn mowers, hedge trimmers, and
other similar equipment.
27. DANGERÑRisk of drowning: Exercise
extreme caution to prevent unauthorized and
unsupervised use of the hydrotherapy spa by
children. Children must always be super-
vised.
21. WARNINGÑThe hydrotherapy spa must be
wired directly into a 240 volt power source
equipped with a Ground Fault Circuit
28. WARNINGÑTo reduce the risk of injury: The
water temperature should never exceed
104¡F (40¡C). Temperatures between 100¡F
(38¡C) and 104¡F (40¡C) are considered to be
safe for healthy adults. However, if you plan
to remain in the hydrotherapy spa for more
than 10 to 15 minutes, a lower temperature is
recommended. Lower temperatures are also
recommended for children. Children should
not be allowed to swim under the surface of
the water in the spa.
Interrupter (GFCI). The GFCI must be tested
before each use. To test the GFCI, press the
ÒtestÓ button while the spa is running. The
spa should shut off. Press the ÒresetÓ but-
ton. The spa should resume normal opera-
tion. If the spa continues to run after the
ÒtestÓ button is pressed, then the GFCI is
damaged. Do not use the hydrotherapy spa
until the GFCI has been repaired or replaced
by a qualified electrician.
29. WARNINGÑTo reduce the risk of injury:
Always use an accurate thermometer to
determine the water temperature before
using the hydrotherapy spa.
22. Keep all electrical appliances such as radios,
telephones, televisions, and lights at least
five feet (1.52 meters) away from the water.
30. WARNINGÑTo reduce the risk of injury:
Pregnant women should consult with their
physician before using the hydrotherapy spa.
Pregnant women should not use the
hydrotherapy spa if the water temperature is
above 100¡F (38¡C); the unborn child could
be seriously harmed. This is especially
important during the first 90 days of the
pregnancy.
23. A wire connector is provided on the pump
motor of this unit to connect a minimum No.
8 AWG (804 mm2) solid copper conductor
between this unit and any metal equipment,
electrical enclosure made of metal, metal
water pipes, or conduit within five feet
(1.52m) of the unit.
24. DANGERÑRisk of electric shock: Do not set
up the hydrotherapy spa within five feet of
any metal objects or surfaces. As an alterna-
tive, you may use the hydrotherapy spa with-
in five feet of metal objects if each metal
object is permanently connected to the wire
connector on the pump motor of this unit by
a minimum No. 8 AWG (804 mm2) solid cop-
per conductor (see instruction 24).
31. DANGERÑTo reduce the risk of drowning:
Prolonged immersion in the hydrotherapy
spa may cause hyperthermia, a dangerous
condition which occurs when the internal
body temperature rises several degrees
above the normal body temperature of 98.6¡F.
The symptoms of hyperthermia are nausea,
dizziness, drowsiness, and fainting. Effects
include: a lack of awareness, inability to per-
ceive heat or danger, and a greater risk of
drowning due to a loss of consciousness.
Special note: Individuals suffering from
hyperthermia may be unable to realize that
they must exit the hydrotherapy spa, and
they also may be physically unable to do so.
25. Do not operate the pump motor when the spa
is empty. The pump motor may be seriously
damaged if it is operated without water circu-
lating. The cut-off valves must always be
open when using the spa (see step 2 on page
8).
26. DANGERÑTo reduce the risk of drowning:
¥ Never use the hydrotherapy spa alone;
¥ Children should not use the hydrotherapy
spa unless they are supervised by an adult;
¥ Keep pets away from the hydrotherapy spa
at all times;
32. WARNINGÑTo reduce the risk of drowning:
Do not use the hydrotherapy spa if you are
under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Heat
from the water, in conjunction with alcohol or
drugs can cause unconsciousness.
¥ Always replace and lock the spa cover
when the hydrotherapy spa is not in use.
33. Do not use the hydrotherapy spa immediate-
ly after strenuous exercise.

34. WARNINGÑTo reduce the risk of injury or
drowning: Consult your physician about pos-
sible side-effects of any medications you
may be taking before using the hydrotherapy
spa. Heat from the water, in conjunction with
some medications may cause drowsiness
and increase the risk of drowning. Others
can effect blood pressure, heart rate, and cir-
culation.
36. If you feel pain or dizziness at any time while
using the hydrotherapy spa, discontinue use
and contact a physician.
37. The included warning sign must be posted
where all users of the spa can see and read it
(see POSTING THE WARNING SIGN on page
15).
38. Never use soft water when filling the
hydrotherapy spa. Soft water is extremely
corrosive to the metal parts within the spa
unit and can lead to pump and spa failure.
35. WARNINGÑTo reduce the risk of injury: It is
especially important for persons over the age
of 35 or persons with pre-existing health
problems, such as obesity, heart disease,
high or low blood pressure, circulatory prob- 39. WARNING DECAL PLACEMENT: Locate the

CHOOSING A LOCATION FOR THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA
There are many factors to consider when choosing a location to set up the hydrotherapy spa. These factors vary
depending on whether you use the hydrotherapy spa inside or outside. We have listed several factors you may
wish to consider as you decide where you want to use the hydrotherapy spa.
If you set up the hydrotherapy spa inside:
If you set up the hydrotherapy spa outside:
1. The hydrotherapy spa will increase the level of
humidity in your home. The location you choose
should be well ventilated. You may need to install
a ventilation fan or use a dehumidifier.
1. You should check your local building codes con-
cerning the use of outdoor spas.
2. The hydrotherapy spa should be close to a source
of water.

USING THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA
The hydrotherapy spa is designed to seat five adults.
The fifteen thera-jets can be regulated to provide a
relaxing massage to sooth away stress, and the
strength of the water massage can be adjusted by the
air control. The hydrotherapy spa holds 200 gallons of
water and offers an automatic, programmable heating
(41¡F to 104¡F) and filtration system.
If the level is too low, add half of one of the ÒQUICK
pHix It UPÓ packets to the water. Let the water circu-
late through the spa for five minutes. Test the pH level
again. Repeat until the pH level is correct.
If the level is too high, add half of one of the ÒQUICK
pHix It DOWNÓ packets to the water. Let the water cir-
culate through the spa for five minutes. Test the pH
level again. Repeat until the pH level is correct.
The guidelines below explain how to properly use the
hydrotherapy spa. Follow these guidelines to maintain
the hydrotherapy spa for your long-term enjoyment.
See WATER CHEMISTRY on page 17 for information
concerning proper water maintenance.
STARTING THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA
SECURING THE SPA COVER
Start the hydrotherapy spa by pressing the pump but-
ton on the console; you should verify the water flow
from the pumping unit. Set the air control on the con-
sole to the lowest setting (see USING THE CON-
SOLE on page 14). The heat control unit will heat the
water as it is pumped. Cover the hydrotherapy spa
with the spa cover. The spa cover must be tight.
(See SECURING THE SPA COVER on this page.)
The water will heat at 6.0 to 8.0¡F an hour with the
cover on. If you are using the spa indoors, and the
room temperature is maintained at 70¡F, it will take
approximately 5 to 7 hours for the water to reach the
set temperature.
The spa cover can be secured by snapping the latches
on the spa cover into the buckles on the side panels.
The buckles can be
locked by inserting the
key and turning it
clockwise a quarter
turn. To unlock the
buckles, insert the key
and turn it counter-
clockwise a quarter
turn.
Latch
Key
Buckle
The temperature and water flow can be set or
changed by the controls on the console (see USING
THE CONSOLE on page 14).
Always keep the buckles locked when the spa is
not in use. Keep the keys in a safe place, out of
the reach of children.
TESTING AND TREATING THE WATER
ATTACHING THE RED AND BLUE LIGHT COVERS
The hydrotherapy spa comes with a starter chemical
pack for maintaining the water in the spa. Disregard
the directions on the individual packages of ÒQUICK
pHix It DOWNÓ and ÒQUICK pHix It UP.Ó However, the
directions on the bottle of ÒNon-chlorine ShoxÓ and
ÒBromine BaseÓ are correct. Always keep the chemi-
cals away from children and pets.
The RESTORATION
5.1 comes with two
colored covers for the
spa light. To attach the

The first time you use the spa, you should test and
treat the water. You must also treat the water each
time you refill the spa. Once you have verified that
the spa is functioning properly, and the water has cir-
culated for a while, remove the spa cover and add 1/3
of the ÒBromine BaseÓ bottle, and 1/3 of the ÒNon-
chlorine ShoxÓ bottle to the water. Allow the water to
circulate for five minutes. You should now test the pH
of the water. You will need a pH test kit (not included),
which can be obtained at a pool and spa supply store.

SPA OPERATION
Refer to the diagram above. The function of each
component is explained below:
The suction vents (D) located near the floor of the
spa brings the water into the pump in order to operate
the system. The suction covers should always be in
place over the suction vents. Never operate the spa
without the suction covers in place.
The eight uni-directional thera-jets (A) are located
on both sides of the spa. Five jets focus the water
massage on your upper or lower back. The remaining
three jets provide a foot hydro-massage for three of
the seating positions.
This spa is ozone ready. An optional ozone generator
can be installed to utilize the ozone jet (E). Ozone
provides a way to help sanitize your spa with minimal
chemical treatment.
The six multi-directional thera-jets (B) can be
adjusted for a custom hydro-massage. Each thera-jet
can also be shut off by being pressed in and turned
back on by pulling the jet back out. Two of the jets are
located on the reclining seat and focus the water
massage on your lower back. Two more jets are locat-
ed on each of the bench seats, and focus the water
massage on your lower or middle back.
The temperature probe (F) reads the current water
temperature, which is displayed on the console.
The RESTORATION 5.1 also has a light (G) for your
safety and convenience during evening use.
The RESTORATION 5.1 features automatic freeze
protection. If the water temperature falls below 40¡F,
the pump will begin circulating and heating the water
to prevent the water from freezing.
The filter (C) can be removed for replacement and
cleaning (see CHECKING AND CLEANING THE FIL-
TER on page 16).

Pump: This button turns the pump on and off. When
the pump is running, the LED indicator above the but-
ton will light. To turn the pump on high, press the but-
ton once. The thera-jets will operate at full speed. To
turn the pump on low, press the control twice. The
thera-jets will operate at low speed. After you press
the button a third time, the thera-jets will shut off,
unless it is time for the heat or filter cycles. If you turn
the pump off and it continues to operate, check if the
Heat On or Filter On indicators are lit to see if either
cycle is running.
HL High temperature protection mode. If the water
temperature rises above 115¡F, the heater will
shut off. If the temperature rises above 122¡F,
the high temperature circuit will shut off the
entire system. In either case, once the water
has cooled to normal, you can press any button
to reset the system.
FrE Freeze protection mode. If the water tempera-
ture falls below 40¡F, the pump will begin
cycling the water through the heater to raise the

ADJUSTING THE FILTER CYCLE
Each cycle can run for 60, 120, or 180 minutes. To
change the length of the cycle, press the light and up
buttons at the same time. The length of the cycle will
appear in the temperature display. Use the up and
down buttons to select the desired cycle length.
The spa filter cycle runs automatically to clean the
water in the spa. However, the number of times that
the filter cycle needs to run depends on how often the
spa is used.
The pump or the light may turn on while you are
adjusting the filter cycle. If this happens, you can turn
the pump or light off once you have finished the
adjustment procedure.
If many different people use the spa regularly, then
the water will need to be filtered more often than if it
is only used occasionally by a few. The number of
daily cycles, as well as the length of the cycle can be
adjusted.
The pump can run one to three filter cycles daily. To
change the number of cycles, press the pump and up
buttons at the same time. The number of cycles will
appear in the temperature display. Use the up and
down buttons to select the desired number of cycles.
POSTING THE WARNING SIGN
The warning sign, shown below, must be posted on a wall or fence, where all users of the RESTORATION 5.1
will be able to see it. Whenever the spa is moved, the sign must also be moved and reposted near the spa.

MAINTENANCE
The hydrotherapy spa is designed to provide you with
years of enjoyment. Please follow the guidelines
below to properly maintain your hydrotherapy spa.
MAINTAINING THE SPA COVER
The spa cover should be cleaned monthly. To clean
the spa cover, use water and a non-abrasive cleaner
on the entire cover. Rinse the cover with a garden
hose to remove any cleaner residue. Dry the cover
entirely. You should also use a non-silicone based
vinyl conditioner on the cover after you clean it. This
will help protect the cover from sun damage.
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
DAILY
¥ Check the water level and refill the spa to the level
shown on page 9, step 5.
¥ Check the pH balance and sanitizer level. Adjust if
necessary (see WATER CHEMISTRY on page 17).
¥ Clean the surface of the water with a skimming net.
CHECKING AND CLEANING THE FILTER
The filter should be checked periodically for build-up
of dirt and oil. If the filter needs to be cleaned, follow
the steps below:
1. Turn off the power.
2. Unscrew the filter from the filter housing in the
spa shell and remove it from the spa.
3. Check the filter for any dirt or debris. If the filter
needs to be cleaned, rinse the filter with a hose. If
the filter still is dirty, you will need to soak it in a
cleaning solution which can be obtained from a
pool and spa supply store.
WEEKLY
¥ Clean the spa shell at the waterline.
¥ Check and thoroughly clean the filter (see CHECK-
ING AND CLEANING THE FILTER on this page).
¥ Replace the filter if needed (see ORDERING
REPLACEMENT PARTS on the back cover).
MONTHLY
¥ Clean the spa cover (see MAINTAINING THE SPA
COVER below).
¥ Soak the filter for two hours in a trisodium phos-
phate (TSP) solution. Rinse the filter in clean water.
¥ Replace the filter if needed (see ORDERING
REPLACEMENT PARTS on the back cover).
4. Inspect the filter for damage. Replace the filter if
there are any signs of damage.
5. Re-insert the threaded end of the cleaned filter
into the filter housing. Screw the filter into place.
EVERY THREE MONTHS
¥ Drain the spa and refill with clean water. Sanitize
and test the pH of the water.
¥ Check for any leaks around the pump or joints in
the pipes. The seals will wear out over time; detect-
ing leaks early can reduce repair costs.
¥ Clean the interior of the spa. Do not use solvents or
waxes.
REPLACING THE LIGHT BULB
If the light in the spa shell burns out, you will need to
remove the access cover to replace it (see ATTACH-
ING AND REMOVING THE ACCESS COVER on
page 17).
Locate the light housing. Turn the housing counter-
clockwise and remove it from the spa shell.
EVERY SIX MONTHS
¥ Treat the exterior with a wood sealant (see MAIN-
TAINING THE SPA EXTERIOR below).
Light Housing
Light
Bulb
MAINTAINING THE SPA EXTERIOR
The wood panel exterior has been treated with a
sealant at the factory to protect the wood from water
damage. We suggest that you treat the wood finish
twice a year with an additional coat of weather
sealant. Contact your local spa and pool supplier for
advice on which sealants work best in your climate.
Light
Housing
CLEANING THE SPA SHELL
To replace the light bulb, pull the old bulb out of the
housing and insert a new light bulb. Re-attach the
light housing to the spa shell. Re-attach the access
cover to the spa unit.
The spa shell should be cleaned with a mild soap
solution. Do not use solvents. The spa should always
be clean and dry before being moved or stored.

SANITIZING THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA
level is not properly maintained. Damage caused by
improper pH levels is not covered under the warranty.
Please refer to your local pool and spa supplier for
information concerning which chemicals you should
use in your area to sanitize the spa.
To maintain the proper pH level, you should test the
pH of the water regularly. You will need a pH test kit
(not included), which can be obtained at a pool and
spa supply store. The pH reading should be between
7.2 and 7.8. If the level is too low, add a pH increaser
(usually soda ash). If the level is too high, add a pH
reducer (usually sodium bisulfate). Test the water
again after five minutes. See the instructions with your
pH test kit for additional information about testing and
adjusting the pH.
The most common sanitizing agent is a solid bromine
concentrate. The amount required varies according to
several factors, such as user load, temperature, water
conditions, and so forth.
Proper water maintenance is a fairly complex process.
We recommend that you contact your local pool and
spa supplier for information on how you should best
accomplish this.
ATTACHING AND REMOVING THE ACCESS
COVER
WATER CHEMISTRY
To remove the access cover, remove the four access
cover screws from the access cover. Slide the access
cover down and pull the bottom of the access cover
away from the Spa Unit. Be careful not to damage
the spa shell as you remove the cover.
The hydrotherapy spa comes with a starter chemical
pack for maintaining the water in the spa. (See TEST-
ING AND TREATING THE WATER on page 12.)
Additional chemicals can be purchased at a pool and
spa supply store.
Spa
CAUTION: The chemicals used to maintain the pH
balance of the water and to sanitize the water can
be dangerous. Always follow these basic guide-
lines when handling the chemicals:
1. Always read and follow the directions on
the label, unless directed otherwise.
2. Never mix different chemicals.
3. Do not exceed the recommended amounts
of chemicalsÑfollow the directions on the
label closely.

6. Never add water to the chemicalsÑalways
add the chemicals to the water as directed.
7. Always store chemicals in a cool, dry
place.
To replace the access cover, insert the top of the
cover under the edge of the spa shell. Slide the cover
up until the bottom of the cover will clear the trim
along the bottom of the spa unit. Slide the cover into
place and re-attach the four cover screws.
MAINTAINING THE PROPER PH BALANCE
If you will be storing the spa for any period of time, a
qualified electrician will need to disconnect the power
cord from the 240 volt power source. You should
place the power cord inside the spa unit before re-
attaching the access cover.
The pH factor is a measure of relative acidity or alka-
linity in the water. It is measured on a scale of 1 to 14.
Pure water has a value of 7, which is neutral. Any
value above 7 is alkaline, and any value below 7 is
acidic. You should maintain a slightly alkaline pH
level, between 7.2 and 7.8, in the hydrotherapy spa.
DRAINING THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA
Severe problems can occur when the pH balance is
not maintained within this range. If the pH level
The hydrotherapy spa should be drained at least four
times a year and refilled with clean water. You may
need to drain the spa more often, depending on the
user load. This must be done, because after repeated
chemical treatment, the water becomes chemically
saturated. Once this happens, additional chemical
treatment of the water is no longer effective. The spa
exceeds 7.8, dissolved minerals can build-up and clog
the plumbing in the spa jet unit. If the pH level falls
below 7.2, the acid level in the water will begin to cor-
rode the metal parts in the spa jet unit. Also, the sani-
tation agents in the water will not be effective if the pH

should also be drained if you will not be using it for
long periods of time. The spa must always be drained
before major repairs are made.
To drain the pump,
remove the access
cover from the spa
unit (see ATTACHING
AND REMOVING
THE ACCESS
COVER on page 17).
Locate the pump
inside the spa unit.
Pump
The hydrotherapy spa should always be covered
when it is empty. Direct sunlight can cause exten-
sive damage. The surface of the spa shell can
reach temperatures as high as 150¡F in a matter
of minutes if exposed to the sun while it is empty.
These high temperatures can cause significant
damage, such as blistering of the shell surface
and warping of the spa shell. Any damage caused
by sun exposure is not covered under warranty.
Drain Plug
Remove the drain plug from the pump. Tip the spa jet
unit slightly, until all the water has drained from the
pump. Replace the drain plug.
OPENING AND CLOSING THE CUT-OFF VALVES
To drain the hydrotherapy spa, follow these steps:
1. Set the temperature control on the console to the
lowest setting.
2. Shut off the circuit breaker or GFCI.
3. Remove the access cover from the back of the
spa unit.
4. Remove the drainage hose from the clip and
attach a garden hose to the valve on the
drainage hose.
For minor repairs to the pump/motor, the cut-off
valves can be closed. To close the valves, remove
the access cover from the back of the spa unit.
Locate both cut-off valves. Push the handles into the
closed position and turn the handles until they lock
into place.

5. Open the valve by turning the knob counterclock-
wise. The water will begin to drain.
6. When the spa is empty, close the valve and
remove the garden hose. Return the drainage
hose to the clip and replace the access cover.
7. Refill the spa and treat the water with chemicals
(see pages 9, 12 and 17).
If you are planning to work on the pump/motor, you
will also need to drain the pump (see this page).
To open the valves, turn the handles until they are
unlocked, and pull the handles out to the open posi-
tion.
DRAINING THE PUMP
After the hydrotherapy spa is drained (see DRAINING
THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA on page 17), the pump
in the spa jet unit should also be drained if the hydro-
therapy spa will be stored for more than thirty days,
or if it may be exposed to freezing temperatures.

WINTER USE AND CARE
The hydrotherapy spa is designed for year-round use.
If you decide to store the hydrotherapy spa for the
winter, store it in a warm, dry location. Follow the
steps below to winterize the hydrotherapy spa.
1. Drain the spa (see DRAINING THE
HYDROTHERAPY SPA on pages 17 and 18).
2. Remove all remaining water from the spa shell.
Dry the spa shell with towels.
3. Set the air control on the console to the lowest
setting. Use a wet/dry vacuum to pull any remain-
ing water from the system. To do this, place the
vacuum nozzle over each thera-jet, starting with
the highest jet and finishing with the lowest one.
4. Set the air control on the console to the highest
setting and repeat step 3.
5. Drain the pump (see DRAINING THE PUMP on
page 18). Once the water has drained from the
pump, place the vacuum nozzle over the
drainage hole in the pump and vacuum any addi-
tional water from the pump. Note: For additional
protection you can remove the pump/motor
from the spa to store it in a climate controlled
room.
6. Clean the spa shell (see page 16).
7. Clean the filter (see page 16).
8. A qualified electrician should disconnect the
power cord from the 240 volt power source.
9. Re-attach the access cover and re-attach the spa
cover.
