Safety Information
• Your hot tub uses ground fault circuit interrupters in the electrical subpanel. Before each use of the hot tub and with the unit operating,
push the TEST button on each breaker. The switch should click over to the “Trip” position. Wait 30 seconds and reset each GFCI breaker
by switching it completely off and then completely on. The switch should then stay on. If either of the interrupters does not perform in this
manner, it is an indication of an electrical malfunction and the possibility of an electric shock. Disconnect the power until the fault has
been identified and corrected.
NOTE:
Failure to wait 30 seconds before resetting the GFCI may cause the hot tub’s Power Indicator (on the control panel) to blink. If this
occurs, repeat the GFCI test procedure.
DANGER: RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK
• Install at least 5 feet (1.5 m) from all metal surfaces. A hot tub may be installed within 5 feet of a metal surface if each metal surface is
permanently connected by a minimum No. 10 AWG (6 mm
2
) solid copper conductor attached to the wire ground connector on the
terminal box that is provided for this purpose if in accordance with National Electrical Code ANSI/NMFPA70-1993.
• Do not permit any electrical appliances, such as a light, telephone, radio, or television within 5 feet (1.5 m) of a hot tub. Failure to maintain
a safe distance may result in death, or serious personal injury due to electrocution if the appliance should fall into the hot tub.
• Install your hot tub in such a way that drainage is away from the electrical compartment and from all electrical components.
DO:
• Be sure your hot tub is connected to the power supply correctly - use a licensed contractor.
• Disconnect the hot tub from the power supply before draining the hot tub or servicing the electrical components.
• Test the Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter(s) before each use.
• Replace audio components only with identical components (if your spa is equipped with an audio component).
• Install your hot tub in such a way that drainage is away from the electrical compartment and from all electrical components.
DON’T:
• Use the hot tub with the equipment compartment door removed.
• Place electrical appliances within 5 feet (1.5m) of the hot tub.
• Use an extension cord to connect the hot tub 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 or filter standpipe (located in the filter compartment).
• The suction fittings in the hot tub 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 hot tub.
• Never operate hot tub if the suction fittings are broken or missing.
• People with infectious diseases should not use the hot tub.
• Keep any loose articles of clothing, long hair or hanging jewelry away from rotating jets or other moving components.
Increased side effects of medication
• The use of drugs, alcohol, or medication before or during hot tub use may lead to unconsciousness with the possibility of drowning.
• Persons using medications should consult a physician before using a hot tub; 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 hot tub.
Health problems affected by hot tub use
• Pregnant women should consult a physician before using hot tub.
• 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 hot tub.
Unclean water
• Keep the water clean and sanitized with correct chemical care. The recommended levels for your Limelight
TM
hot tub are:
- Free Available Chlorine (FAC):
3.0-5.0 ppm
- Total Alkalinity:
125-150 ppm
- Water pH:
7.4-7.6
- Calcium Hardness: 150-200 ppm
(Refer to Water Quality and Maintenance section for complete instructions.)
IMPORTANT:
Turn on the jet pump for a least ten minutes after adding ANY hot tub water chemicals into the filter compartment.
