IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR

INJURY TO PERSONS.

This manual contains information and instructions for proper operation and maintenance of your therapy bath. Failure to follow these

instructions could result in personal injury, electrical shock, or fire.

WARNING: When using this unit, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:

READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY

DANGER: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY FOLLOW THESE PRECAUTIONS:

A. DANGER:

To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this unit unless they are closely supervised at all times.

B. Use this unit only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer.
C. The water in a therapy bath 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. Use time should be limited to approximately 30 minutes, followed by a shower to cool down.

Longer exposures may result in hyperthermia.
D. Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a level several degrees above the normal body tempera

ture of 98.6°F (37°C). The symptoms of hyperthermia include an increase in the internal temperature of the body, dizziness, leth

argy, drowsiness, and fainting. The effects of hyperthermia include:

a) Failure to perceive heat;

b) Failure to recognize the need to exit the hydromassage bathtub;

c) Unawareness of impending hazard;

d) Fetal damage in pregnant women;

e) Physical inability to exit the hydromassage bathtub; and

f) Unconsciousness resulting in the danger of drowning.

WARNING – The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia

E. The use of drugs or alcoholic beverages before or during therapy bath use may lead to unconsciousness with the possibility of

drowning. Never use the therapy bath while under the influence of alcohol, anticoagulants, stimulants, antihistamines, vasoconstric

tors, vasodilators, hypnotics, narcotics, or tranquilizers.

F. Lower water temperatures are recommended for extended use (exceeding 10 -15 minutes) and for young children.
G. Since excessive water temperatures have a high potential for causing fetal damage during the early months of pregnancy,

pregnant or possibly pregnant women should limit therapy bath water temperatures to 100°F (38°C).
H. Persons with a medical history of heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory system problems, or diabetes should

consult a physician before using a therapy bath.
I. Persons using medication should consult a physician before using a therapy bath since some medication may induce drowsiness

while other medication may affect heart rate, blood pressure, and circulation.

DANGER:

To reduce the risk of injury, enter and exit the bath slowly.

attached over the suction inlet fitting and the jet assemblies are installed. There should be at least two (2) inches of water above the
