IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
DANGER:
Risk of Injury.
The suction fittings in this Curve 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 Curve 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 spa without adult supervision. Keep the 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 Curve Spa
occupant but installed at least 5 feet (1.5 m) from the Curve Spa
water.
READ, FOLLOW AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
a) 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.
b) 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 Curve Spa to
these terminals with an insulated or bare copper conductor not
smaller than No. 6 AWG.
c) All field-installed metal components such as rails, ladders,
drains or other similar hardware within 5 feet (1.5 m) of the
Curve 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 Curve 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 Curve 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 Curve Spa
water temperatures to 100 °F (38 °C). If pregnant, please consult
your physician before using a Curve Spa. Before entering the
Curve 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 a Curve 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 Curve Spa;
•
Physical inability to exit Curve Spa;
•
Fetal damage in pregnant women; and
•
Unconsciousness and danger of drowning.
WARNING:
Children should not use Curve Spas without adult
supervision.
WARNING:
Do not use Curve Spas unless all suction
guards are installed to prevent body and hair entrapment.
WARNING:
People with infectious diseases should not use a
Curve Spa.
WARNING:
To avoid injury, exercise care when entering or
exiting the Curve Spa.
WARNING:
Do not use drugs or alcohol before or during the use
of Curve Spa to avoid unconsciousness and possible drowning.
The use of alcohol or drugs can greatly increase the risk of fatal
hyperthermia in Curve Spas.
WARNING:
Pregnant or possibly pregnant women should consult
a physician before using a Curve Spa.
WARNING:
Water temperature in excess of 38 °C (100 °F) may
be injurious to your health. Before entering the Curve Spa,
measure the water temperature with an accurate thermometer.
