Choose a flat, stable surface capable of supporting the weight of the hot tub when filled with water (approximately 210 gallons + weight of occupants). Ensure adequate drainage and access to a power outlet.

Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Unfold the hot tub liner and connect the inflation hose to the hot tub's air valve and the control unit's inflation port.
