Page 2 Safety Information
DON'T:
• Use the exercise system with the equipment compartment door
removed.
• Place electrical appliances within 1.5 m (5 feet) of the exercise
system.
• Use an extension cord to connect the exercise system to its power
source. The cord may not be properly grounded and the connection is
a shock hazard. An extension cord may cause a voltage drop, which
will cause overheating of the jet pump motor and motor damage.
• Attempt to open the electrical control box. There are no user serviceable
parts inside.
RISKS TO AVOID
DANGER - RISK OF INJURY
• To reduce the risk of injury to persons, DO NOT remove suction fittings
(filter standpipes) located in the filter compartment.
• The suction fittings in the exercise system are sized to match the
specific water flow created by the pump. Never replace a suction fitting
with one rated less than the flow rate marked on the original suction
fitting.
• There is a danger of slipping and falling. Remember that wet surfaces
can be very slippery. Take care when entering or exiting the exercise
system.
• Never operate exercise system if the suction fittings are broken or
missing.
• People with infectious diseases should not use the exercise system.
• Keep any loose articles of clothing, long hair, or hanging jewelry away
from rotating jets or other moving components. Long hair should be
tied up or placed under a bathing cap.
• Safe water temperature for aquatic exercise is approximately
29.5°C (85°F).
• DO NOT use this exercise system alone.
INCREASED SIDE EFFECTS OF MEDICATION
• The use of drugs or alcohol may cause unconsciousness with the
possibility of drowning.
• Persons using medications should consult a physician before using
a exercise system; some medication may cause a user to become
drowsy, while other medication may affect heart rate, blood pressure,
and circulation.
• Persons taking medications which induce drowsiness, such as
tranquilizers, antihistamines, or anticoagulants should not use the
exercise system.
HEALTH PROBLEMS AFFECTED BY EXERCISE
SYSTEM USE
• Pregnant women should consult a physician before using exercise
system.
• 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 exercise system.
UNCLEAN WATER
• Keep the water clean and sanitized with correct chemical care. The
recommended levels for your SWIMCROSS exercise system are:
Free Available Chlorine:
1.0-5.0 ppm
Total Alkalinity:
80-120 ppm
Water pH:
7.2-7.8
Calcium Hardness:
50-150 ppm
• Refer to Water Quality and Maintenance section for complete
instructions.
IMPORTANT:
Turn on the swim jets on high for a least ten minutes after
adding ANY exercise system water chemicals into the swim area.
Clean the filter cartridges monthly to remove debris and mineral buildup
which may affect the performance of the jets, limit the flow, or trip the
high limit thermostat, which will turn off the entire exercise system.
AVOIDING THE RISK OF HYPERTHERMIA
Prolonged immersion in hot water can result in HYPERTHERMIA, a
dangerous condition which occurs when the internal temperature of
the body reaches a level above normal 37°C (98.6°F). The symptoms
of hyperthermia include unawareness of impending hazard, failure
to perceive heat, failure to recognize the need to exit the exercise
system, physical inability to exit the exercise system, fetal damage
in pregnant women, and unconsciousness resulting in a danger of
drowning.
WARNING
The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication can greatly increase the risk of
fatal hyperthermia in exercise systems.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY
• The water in the exercise system should never exceed 40°C (104°F).
Water temperatures between 26°C and 40°C (79°F and 104°F) are
considered safe for a healthy adult. The lower water temperatures
are recommended for extended use (exceeding ten minutes) and for
young children. Extended use can cause hyperthermia.
• Pregnant or possibly pregnant women should limit exercise system
water temperatures to 29.5°C (85°F consult a physician prior to using
this product. Failure to do so may result in permanent injury to your
baby.
• Do not use exercise system having water temperatures over 36°C
(100°F) immediately following strenuous exercise.
• Keep all breakables, especially glass, away from this exercise
system.
• Never insert any objects into any openings.
• Keep all chemicals away from children and pets.
• DO NOT stack chemicals on top of one another.
• NEVER MIX CHEMICALS.
• Sanitizing chemicals must be stored separately from balancing
chemicals.
