7. DANGER
- Risk of Injury. 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 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.
8. DANGER
- RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. Install at least 5 feet 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 of #8
(SWG 8.4 mm) solid copper conductor attached to the wire connector in the
Power Pack which is provided for this purpose.
9. DANGER
- Risk of Electrical Shock. Do not permit any electrical appliance,
such as a light, telephone, radio, or television, within 5 feet of spa or hot tub.
10. WARNING
-To reduce the risk of injury:
A.
The water in a spa or hot tub should never exceed 40°C (104°F).Water
temperatures between 38°C
(100°F) and 40°C (104°F) are considered safe for a healthy adult. Lower
water temperatures are recommended for young children and when spa
use exceeds 10 minutes.
B.
Since excessive water temperatures have a high potential for causing
fetal damage during the early months on pregnancy, pregnant or possible
pregnant women should limit spa or hot water temperatures to 38°C
(100°F).
C. CAUTION
: Before entering a spa or hot tub, the user should measure
the water temperature with an accurate thermometer since the tolerance
of water temperature-regulating devices may varies.
D. WARNING
! The use of alcohol, drugs or medication before or during
spa or hot tub use can greatly increase the risk of fatal hypothermia.
Hypothermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a
level several degrees above the normal body temperature of 98.6°.
E.
The symptoms of hypothermia include; an increase in the internal
temperature of the body, dizziness, lethargy, drowsiness, and fainting.
The effects of hypothermia include; (1) failure to perceive heat,
(2) failure to recognize the need to exit spa or hot tub, (3) unawareness of
impending hazard, (4) fetal damage in pregnant women, (5) physical
inability to exit spa or hot tub, and (6) unconsciousness resulting in the
danger of drowning.
