SAFETY INFORMATION
NORTH AMERICA (60Hz)
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When installing and using this electrical equipment be sure to follow these basic safety
precautions:
1.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product
unless they are closely supervised at all times.
2.
DANGER:
Risk of accidental drowning. Extreme caution must be exercised to
prevent unauthorised access by children. To avoid accidents, ensure that children
cannot use this spa unless they are supervised at all times.
3.
DANGER:
Risk of injury. The suction fittings in this spa are sized to match
specific water flow created by the pump. Should the need arise to replace
the suction fitting or the pump, ensure that the flow rates are compatible.
Never operate the spa if 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.
4.
DANGER:
Risk of Electrical Shock. Install at least 5ft (1.5m) from all metal
surfaces. As an alternative, spa may be installed within 5ft (1.5m) of
metal surfaces if each metal surface is permanently connected (bonded) by a
minimum ground wire.
5.
DANGER:
Risk of Electrical Shock. Do not permit any electrical appliance such
as a light, telephone, radio, television, etc. within 5ft (1.5m) of a spa unless
such appliances are installed and built-in by the manufacturer.
6.
ELECTRICAL SUPPLY:
The electrical supply for this product must include a
suitably rated switch or circuit breaker to open all ungrounded supply conductors
to comply with the national electrical standards. This disconnect must be readily
accessible and visible to the spa occupant but installed at least 5ft (1.5m) from
the spa water.
7.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of injury:
a) The water in the spa should never exceed 40°C (104°F). Water temperature
between 38°C (100°F) and 40°C (104°) is considered safe for a healthy adult.
Lower water temperatures are recommended for young children and when
the spa use exceeds 10 minutes.
b) Since excessive water temperatures have a high potential for causing fetal
damage during early months of pregnancy, pregnant women should limit spa
water temperatures to 38°C (100°F)
c) Before entering a spa, the user should measure the water temperature with an
accurate thermometer since the tolerance of water temperature regulating
devices varies.
d) The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication before or during spa use may lead to
unconsciousness with the possibility of drowning.
e) Obese persons and persons with a history of heart disease, low or high blood
pressure, circulatory system problems, or diabetes should consult a physician
before using a spa.
f) 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.
