IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY

DANGER:

Risk of Injury.

The suction fittings in this swim

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.

DANGER:

Risk of Accidental Drowning.

Do not allow

children to be in or around the swim spa without adult
supervision. Keep the swim spa cover on and locked when not
in use. See instructions enclosed with the cover for locking
procedures.

DANGER:

Risk of Electrical Shock.

The electrical supply for

this product must include a suitably rated switch or circuit
breaker to open all ungrounded supply conductors to comply
with section 422-20 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA
70. The disconnect must be readily accessible and visible to the
spa occupant but installed at least 5 feet (1.5 m) from the swim
spa water.

READ, FOLLOW AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

A green colored terminal or a terminal marked G, Gr,

Ground, Grounding or the symbol * is located inside the supply
terminal  box  or  compartment.  To  reduce  the  risk  of  electric
shock,  this  terminal  must  be  connected  to  the  grounding
means  provided  in  the  electric  supply  service  panel  with  a
continuous  copper  wire  equivalent  in  size  to  the  circuit
conductors that supply this equipment.

At least two lugs marked “Bonding Lugs” are provided on

the external surface or on the inside of the supply terminal box
compartment. To reduce the risk of electric shock, connect the
local common bonding grid in the area of the spa to these
terminals with an insulated or bare copper conductor not
smaller than No. 6 AWG.

All field-installed metal components such as rails, ladders,

drains or other similar hardware within 5 feet (1.5 m) of the spa
shall be bonded to the equipment grounding buss with copper
conductors not smaller than No. 6 AWG.

WARNING:

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. 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). If pregnant, please consult your physician before
using  a  spa.  Before  entering the  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).  Persons  suffering  from  obesity  or  a
medical  history  of  heart  disease,  low  or  high  blood  pressure,
circulatory  system  problems  or  diabetes  should  consult  a
physician before using the spa.

CAUTION:

Risk of Hyperthermia:

Hyperthermia occurs when

the  internal  temperature  of  the  body  reaches  a  level  several
degrees above the normal body temperature of 98.6 °F (37 °C).
The symptoms of hyperthermia include drowsiness, lethargy, and
an  increase  in  the  internal  temperature  of  the  body.  Prolonged
immersion in  hot  water  may  induce  hyperthermia.  A  description
of  the  causes,  symptoms,  and  effects  of  hyperthermia  are  as
follows:



Unawareness of impending hazard;



Failure to perceive heat;



Failure to recognize the need to exit spa;



Physical inability to exit spa;



Fetal damage in pregnant women; and



Unconsciousness and danger of drowning.
