Important Safety Instructions
This is a professional grade product. A working knowledge of construction techniques, plumbing and electrical installation
according to codes are required for proper installation and user satisfaction. We recommend that a licensed contractor
perform the installation of all Jacuzzi® products. Our warranty does not cover improper installation related problems.
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Use this unit only for its intended use as
described in this manual. Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer. Never drop or insert any object
into any opening.
DANGER:
RISK OF ACCIDENTAL INJURY OR DROWNING! Do not permit children to use this unit unless
they are closely supervised at all times. Do not use hydromassage bathtubs unless all suction guards are installed to
prevent body and hair entrapment.
DANGER:
RISK OF SEVERE INJURY FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK OR DEATH FROM ELECTROCUTION!
This unit must be connected only to a supply circuit that is protected by a 15 amp ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI).
Such a GFCI should be provided by the installer and should be tested on a routine basis. Follow the manufacturer’s
instructions when testing the GFCI. The GFCI should interrupt power. Push the reset button. Power should be restored.
If the GFCI fails to operate in this manner, the GFCI is defective. If the GFCI interrupts power to the bathtub without
the test button being pushed, a ground current is flowing, indicating a possibility of an electric shock. Do not use this
hydromassage bathtub. Disconnect the hydromassage bathtub and have the problem corrected by a qualified service
representative before using.
DANGER:
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK! Do not permit electrical appliances (such as a hair dryer, lamp,
telephone, radio or television) within 60” (1524 mm) of this hydromassage bathtub. Connect only to a circuit protected by
a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). (For permanently connected units) A green colored terminal (or a wire connector)
marked “G,” “GR,” “GROUND,” or GROUNDING”) is provided within the terminal compartment. To reduce the risk of
electric shock, connect the terminal or connector to the grounding terminal of your electric service or supply panel with a
conductor equivalent in size to the circuit conductors supplying the equipment.
WARNING
:
PROLONGED IMMERSION IN HOT WATER MAY INDUCE HYPERTHERMIA! Hyperthermia occurs
when the internal temperature of the body reaches a level several degrees above the normal body temperature of 98.6°F
(37°C). The symptoms of hyperthermia include an increase in the internal temperature of the body, dizziness, lethargy,
drowsiness and fainting. Water temperature in excess of 104°F (40°C) may be injurious to your health. Check and adjust
water temperature before use. The effects of hyperthermia include:
A.
Failure to perceive heat.
B. Failure to recognize the need to exit the bath.
C. Unawareness of impending hazard.
D. Fetal damage in pregnant women.
E. Physical inability to exit the bath.
F. Unconsciousness resulting in danger of drowning.
DANGER!
This equipment is intended for indoor use only. Install the equipment in accordance with these
instructions. Use supply wires that are suitable for 167°F (75°C), including the temperature rating of the supply conduc-
tors to be used. This unit should be electrically grounded and installed by a licensed contractor, electrician, and plumber.
Building materials and wiring should be routed away from the motor/pump or blower or other heat producing components
of this unit. A pressure wire connector is provided on the exterior of the motor/pump and heater to permit connection of an
No. 8 AWG solid copper bonding conductor between this unit and all other electric equipment and exposed metal in the
vicinity, as needed to comply with local requirements.
DANGER!
RISK OF SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH! Risk of fetal injury. Pregnant or possibly pregnant women
should consult a physician before using a hydromassage bathtub equipped with a heater.
DANGER!
RISK OF SEVERE INJURY OR DROWNING! Keep body and hair a minimum of 6" (152 mm) away
from the suction fitting at all times when the hydromassage system is in operation. Hair longer than shoulder length should
be secured close to the head.
CAUTION! Do not immerse the control panel by overfilling the bath.
