SAFETY INFORMATION
IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND FOLLOW ALL
INSTRUCTIONS
AVOIDING THE RISK TO CHILDREN
DANGER:
• RISK OF CHILD DROWNING: Extreme
caution must be exercised to prevent
unauthorized access by children. To avoid
accidents, ensure that children cannot use
a spa unless they are supervised at all
times. Children should be supervised to
not use the spa as a toy.
WARNING:
• To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit
children to use this product unless they
are closely supervised at all times.
• To reduce the risk of injury, lower water
temperatures are recommended for young
children. Children are especially sensitive
to hot water.
DO:
• Make sure you always lock the child
resistant locks after using the spa for your
children’s safety. Every spa is equipped
with a locking cover that meets the ASTM
F1346-91 Standard for Safety Covers.
• Test the water temperature with your hand
before allowing your child to enter the spa
to be sure that it’s comfortable. Children
are especially sensitive to hot water.
• Remind children that wet surfaces can be
very slippery. Make sure that the children
are careful when entering or exiting the
spa.
DON’T:
• Allow children to climb onto the spa cover.
• Allow children to have unsupervised
access to the spa.
AVOIDING THE RISK OF
ELECTROCUTION
RISK OF ELECTROCUTION:
• Connect only to a grounded source.
• Do not bury the power cord. A buried
power cord may result in death or serious
personal injury due to electrocution if direct
burial-type cable is not used, or if improper
digging occurs.
• A ground terminal (pressure wire
connector) is provided on the control
box inside the unit to permit connection
of a minimum 6 mm² (10 AWG) solid
copper bonding conductor between this
point and any metal equipment, metal
water pipe, metal enclosures of electrical
equipment, or conduit within 1.5 m (5 feet)
of the unit as needed to comply with local
requirements.
WARNING:
• To reduce the risk of electrical shock,
replace a damaged cable immediately.
Failure to do so may result in death
or serious personal injury due to
electrocution.
• A ground terminal is provided on the
control box. To reduce the risk of electric
shock, connect this terminal to the
grounding terminal of your electrical
service or subpanel with a continuous
green, insulated copper wire. The wire
must be equivalent in size to the circuit
conductors supplying the equipment. In
addition, a bonding terminal (pressure wire
connector) is provided on the outside of
the control box for bonding to local ground
points. To reduce the risk of electric shock,
this connector should be bonded with a
8 mm ²
(8 AWG) solid copper wire to any
metal ladders, water pipes, or other metal
within 1.5 m (5 feet) of the spa to comply
with local requirements. The means of
disconnection must be readily accessible,
but must be installed at least 1.5 m (5 feet)
from the spa.
