IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
When installing and using this equipment, basic safety precautions should always be
followed, including:
Risk of Accidental Drowning. Extreme caution must be exercised to prevent unauthorized
access by children. To avoid accidents, ensure that children cannot use or approach the
spa unless they are supervised at all times.
Risk of Serious Injury or Death. 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 suction fitting.
Risk of Electric Shock. Install at least 5 FEET (1.5 m), 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 (8.4 mm2) solid copper conductor attached to the
wire connector on the grounding lug, inside the equipment compartment on the equipment
can.
Risk of Electric Shock. Do not permit any electrical appliance, such as a light, telephone,
radio, television, etc. within 5 feet (1.5 m) of a spa. Never operate any electrical appliances
from inside the spa or when you are wet.
The electrical supply for this spa must include a suitably rated switch or circuit breaker to
open all ungrounded supply conductors to comply with section 680-42 of the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-1993. The disconnect must be readily accessible and visible to
the spa occupant but installed at least 5 feet (1.5 m), from the spa water.
A grounding wire connector is provided on this spa to connect a minimum No. 8 AWG (8.4
mm2) solid copper conductor between this unit and any metal equipment, metal enclosures
of electrical equipment, metal water pipe, or conduit within 5 feet (1.5 m) of the spa.
Do not attempt to remove the light housing cover without lowering the water level below
the light housing cover.
To Reduce the Risk of Injury: The water in a spa should never exceed 104° F (40° C). Water
temperatures between 100° F (38° C) and 104° F (40° C) are considered safe for a healthy
adult. Lower water temperatures are recommended for young children and when spa use
exceeds 10 minutes.
To Reduce the Risk of Injury: Since excessive water temperatures have a high potential for
causing fetal damage during the early months of pregnancy, pregnant or possibly pregnant
women should limit spa water temperatures to 100° F (38° C).
To Reduce the Risk of Injury: Before entering a spa, the user should measure the water
temperature with an accurate thermometer since the tolerance of water temperature-
regulating devices may vary as much as +/- 5° F (2° C).
To Reduce the Risk of Injury: The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication before or during spa
use may lead to unconsciousness with the possibility of drowning.
To Reduce the Risk of Injury: Pregnant women, the elderly, infants, or 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. Pregnant or
possibly pregnant women should not enter water warmer than 100° F or 38° C.
To Reduce the Risk of Injury: Persons using medication should consult a physician before
using a spa since some medication may induce drowsiness, while other medication may
affect heart rate, blood pressure, and circulation.
Observe a reasonable time limit when using the spa. Long exposures at high temperatures
can cause high body temperature. Symptoms may include dizziness, nausea, fainting,
drowsiness, and reduced awareness. These effects could result in possible drowning.
Enter and exit the spa slowly. Wet surfaces can be very slippery.
