IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
Read the entire owner’s manual & safety instructions before operating the spa.
When installing the spa, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product unless they are closely
supervised at all times by adults.
WARNING: A grounding wire connector is provided on this unit to connect a minimum No. 8 AWG
(8.4 mm2) solid copper conductor between this unit and any metal equipment, metal enclosures of electrical
equipment, metal water pipe or conduit within 5 feet (1.5 m) of the unit.
DANGER: RISK OF ACCIDENTAL DROWNING: Extreme caution must be exercised to prevent unauthorized
access by children. To avoid accidents, ensure that children cannot use this spa unless they are closely super-
vised at all times by adults.
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 to replace with same
model suction fittings for safety and compatible flow rates. 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 origi-
nal suction fittings.
DANGER: RISK OF INJURY. Do not remove suction grate. Suction through drains and skimmers are powerful
when the jets in the spa are in use. Damaged suction grate can be hazardous to children and adults with long
hair. Should any part of the body or hair be drawn into these fittings or stuck onto the fittings turn off the spa
immediately. As a precaution, long hair should NOT be allowed to float freely in the spa.
DANGER: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. Install at least 5 feet (1.5m) from all metal surfaces. As an alternative a
spa may be installed within 5 feet (1.5m) of metal surfaces if, in accordance with the National Electrical Code,
each metal surface is permanently connected by a minimum No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm2) solid copper conductor to
the wire connector on the terminal box that is provided for this purpose.
DANGER: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. Do not permit any electric appliance, such as a light, hair dryer tele-
phone, radio, or television, within 5 feet (1.5 m) of the spa. Never operate any electrical appliances from inside
the spa or while wet.
DANGER: The electrical supply for this spa must include a suitable rated switch or circuit breaker to open all
ungrounded supply conductors. The disconnect must be readily accessible and visible to the spa occupant
but installed at least 5 feet (1.5m) from the spa water.
WARNING – To reduce the risk of injury: The water in a spa should never exceed 104°F (40°C). Water tempera-
tures between 100°F (38°C) and 104°F (40°C) are considered safe for a healthy adult. Lower water tempera-
tures are recommended for young children and when spa use exceeds 10 minutes.
