Before entering the spa or hot tub, the user should measure the water temperature with an
accurate thermometer.
The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication before or during spa or hot tub use may lead to
unconsciousness with the possibility of drowning.
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 a spa or hot tub.
Persons using medication should consult a physician before using a spa or hot tub since

For Units with a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter)
This appliance is provided with a ground-fault-circuit-interrupter located on the control box.
Before each use and with the unit operating, push the test button. The unit should
stop operating and the reset button should appear. Push the reset button. The unit
should now operate normally. If the interrupter does not perform in this manner, a
ground current is flowing indicating the possibility of electrical shock. Disconnect the
power, or unplug from receptacle, until the fault has been identified and corrected.
For Cord and Plug Connected Units
Connect to a grounded, grounding type receptacle only. NEVER connect the spa to an
extension cord.
Do not bury the cord.
WARNING To reduce the risk of electrical shock, replace damaged cord immediately.
For Permanently Installed Units
A terminal marked “G” or “ground” is provided in the wiring box located inside the
equipment compartment. To reduce the risk of electric shock, connect the terminal
or connector to the grounding terminal of your electrical service or supply panel with
a continuous green insulated copper wire in accordance with National Electric Code
Table 250-95 and any other local codes in effect at the time of installation.
