IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
DANGER
To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product unless
they are closely supervised at all times.
WARNING -
RISK OF CHILD DROWNING. Extreme caution must be exercised to prevent
unauthorized access by children. To avoid accents, ensure that children cannot use a
spa or hot tub unless they are supervised at all times.
DANGER
To reduce the risk of injury to persons, do not remove suction fitting covers.
Spa location must accommodate sufficient drainage of water around the base of the
structure, as well as the power source compartment.
Prolonged immersion in water that is warmer than normal body temperature can result
in a dangerous condition known as HYPERTHERMIA. The causes, symptoms, and
effects of hyperthermia may be described as follows: several degrees above the
normal body temperature of 98.6˚F. The symptoms of hyperthermia include dizziness,
fainting, drowsiness, lethargy, and an increase in the internal temperature of the body.
The effects of hyperthermia include (1) unawareness of impending hazard, (2) failure
to perceive heat, (3) failure to recognize the need to exit spa, (4) physical inability
to exit spa, (5) fetal damage in pregnant women, (6) unconsciousness resulting in
danger of drowning. WARNING The use of alcohol, drugs or medication can greatly
increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia in hot tubs and spas.
DANGER -
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. Install at least 5 feet (1.5m) from all metal
surfaces. (A spa may be installed within 5 feet of metal surfaces if each metal surface
is permanently connected by a solid copper conductor attached to the ground bar
on the terminal box that is provided for this purpose. Refer to NEC and local codes in
effect at the time of installation.)
A ground or bonding bar is provided on the control box to permit connection of a solid
copper bonding conductor between this point and any equipment, metal enclosures
of electrical equipment, metal water pipe, or conduit within 5 feet (1.5m) of the unit as
needed to comply with local requirements.
Bond accessible metal to the dedicated connector on the equipment grounding bus,
bond the equipment ground bus to the local common bonding grid as part of the
installation in the form of (1) a reinforced concrete slab for support, (2) a ground plate
provided beneath the hot tub or spa, or (3) a permanent ground connection that is
acceptable to the local inspection authority.
DANGER
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. Do not permit any electrical appliance such as
a light, telephone, radio, or television, within 5 feet (1.5m) of a spa or hot tub.
To reduce the risk of injury:
The water in a spa or hot tub should never exceed 104˚F (40˚C). Water temperatures
between 100˚F (38˚C) and 104˚F (40˚C) are considered safe for a healthy adult.
Lower water temperatures are recommended for extended use (exceeding 10-15
minutes) and for young children.
Excessive water temperatures have a high potential for causing fetal damage during the
early months of pregnancy. Pregnant or possibly pregnant women should limit spa
or hot tub water temperatures to 100˚F (38˚C).
