I PORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When installing and using this electrical equipment basic safety precau-
tions should always be followed including the following:
READ AND FOLLOW
ALL INSTRUCTIONS
1. WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury do not permit
children to use this product unless they are closely supervised
at all times. Keep spa cover locked when not in use.
2. A wire connector is provided on this unit to connect a minimum
No. 8 AWG (8.4mm2) solid copper conductor between this
unit and any metal equipment metal water pipe or conduit
within 5 feet (1.5m) of the unit.
3. DANGER: Risk of Injury. The suction fittings in this spa are
sized to match the specific water flow created by the pump.
Should the need arise to replace the suction fittings or the
pump be sure that the flow rates are compatible. Never
operate the spa if the suction fittings are broken or missing.
Never replace a suction fitting with one rated less than the flow
rate marked on the original fitting.
4. DANGER: Risk of Accidental Drowning. Extreme Caution
must be exercised to prevent unauthorized access by children.
To avoid accidents insure that children cannot use this spa
unless they are supervised at all times.
5. DANGER: Risk of Electric Shock. Install at least 5 feet (1.5m)
from all metal surfaces. As an alternative a spa may be
installed within 5 feet of metal surfaces if each metal surface is
permanently connected by a minimum No. 8 AWG (8.4mm2)
solid copper conductor to the wire connector on the terminal
box that is provided for this purpose.

6. DANGER: Risk of Electric Shock. Do not permit any
electrical appliance such as a light telephone radio or
television within 5 feet (1.5m) of a spa.
7. WARNING: To Reduce the Risk of Injury:
a) Before using your spa you should check the water
temperature with a thermometer that is known to be
accurate. The water temperature in a spa should never
exceed 104°F (40°C). A water temperature of 104°F is
considered safe for a healthy adult. Lower water
temperatures are recommended for young children and
when spa use exceeds 10 minutes.
b) Since excessive water temperatures have a high potential for
causing fetal injury during the early months of pregnancy
pregnant or possibly pregnant women should limit spa
water temperature to 100°F (38°C).
c) The use of alcohol drugs or medication before or during
spa use may lead to unconsciousness with the possibility of
drowning.
d) Persons suffering from obesity or with a medical history of
heart disease low or high blood pressure circulatory
system problems or diabetes should consult a physician
before using a spa.
e) Persons using medication should consult a physician before
using a spa since some medication may induce drowsiness
while other medications may affect heart rate blood
pressure and circulation.
8. The causes symptoms and affects of hyperthermia may be
described as follows:
Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body
reaches a level several degrees above the normal temperature
of 98.6°F. The symptoms of hyperthermia include an increase
in the internal temperature of the body dizziness lethargy
drowsiness and fainting.
The effects of hyperthermia include:
• Failure to feel heat
• Failure to recognize the need to exit the spa
• Unawareness of impending hazards
3
• Fetal injury in pregnant women
• Physical inability to exit the spa or hot tub
• Unconsciousness resulting in the potential of drowning
9. WARNING: The use of alcohol drugs or medication can
greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia. If you suspect
hyperthermia immediately get medical help lay the victim on
their back with the head slightly elevated for easier breathing
cover the body with a blanket and apply ice packs to the
head.
10. Never touch or come in contact with any electrical accessory
when in your spa or when your body is wet.
11. Prior to performing any service to the spa pack turn off ALL
power to the system at the main power source breaker.
NOTE: A READILY ACCESSIBLE DISCONNECTING EANS
SHALL BE PROVIDED DURING INSTALLATION.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
PERSONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. Please use the spa when others are present.
2. Children should have spa access only with the permission and
supervision of an adult.
3. To reduce the risk of child drowning keep the spa filter clean
and unclogged. Do not modify the suction or filtration
systems.
4. Exercise caution when entering or leaving the spa. When
moving or changing positions be sure of your footing before
applying your full weight as water refraction can be
misleading.
5. Do not stay in the spa for extended periods of time. Set a
reasonable time limit after which you leave the spa cool
down take a shower relax and then return for another stay in
the spa.

INSTALLATION AND SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS
SURFACE AND PAD REQUIRE ENTS
• Your new portable spa must be placed on a uniformly firm
flat and level surface. A concrete pad 4 inches thick is best.
• In order to prevent flooding of the electrical equipment the
pad must be such that water will drain away from the spa.
• If your spa is located near sprinklers adjust or cap them so
as not to hit the siding of the spa.
NOTE: Do not put your spa on any soft surface such as sand grass
crushed rock or dirt. Any settling surface will put an uneven pressure and
tension to the spa structure and may void the warranty.
BALCONIES AND DECK REQUIRE ENTS
• Decking must be constructed to support 85 pounds per sq. ft.
• Balconies must be constructed to meet current state and
local codes.
• Gates must be self-closing and self-latching.

ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS
GENERAL
NOTICE: All spa electrical wiring must be performed by
a qualified, licensed electrician in order to meet NEC
(National Electrical Code) state and local codes.
1. The lines carrying power to the spa must be dedicated to the
spa and should not be shared with any other appliance(s).
2. All electrical wiring lines must originate from the electrical
panel and terminate hard wired into the electrical wiring
compartment. The use of extension cords or improper plug
type termination is expressly prohibited and voids the warranty.
3. Do not use aluminum wiring. Use only copper conductive
wiring.
4. Wire gauge must be in accordance with NEC
requirements for the distance from current source to spa and
the current rating as stated on the ID label that is attached to
the equipment control enclosure.
5. All wiring installed in conduit must be approved for usage
by state and local codes. The conduit must terminate at the
electrical access compartment either from the bottom of the
spa or through a hole in the side panel of the spa.
SPA STARTUP DIRECTIONS
All Viking Spas require a solid flat surface.* This is to ensure that the
spa cabinet is not exposed to a pressure stress condition that may result
in cabinet damage and shell cracking. A concrete pad is the best
example of a solid, flat surface, however, wood decking
is suitable, provided it can withstand 85# per sq. ft. with-
out deflection.
* FAILURE TO PROVIDE A PROPER, SOLID, FLAT SURFACE
AY DA AGE YOUR SPA AND VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
Please check with a licensed contractor and local codes prior to any
construction.

POWER CORD ACCESS LOCATION
Viking Spas has provided three access
points located in the bottom corner to
assist in running the electrical conduit to
the power system. Simply remove the
plug to access the opening.
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS BP601
It is very important to make sure that the spa is filled at least 3/4 way
up the skimmer opening. ake sure the gate valves are in
the open or up position.
WARNING: Do not run spa with gate valves closed or run pump
with no water circulating in spa for long periods. Damage could occur
to the spa equipment.
