IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
2. Warning
To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product unless
they are closely supervised at all times.
3.
A wire connector is provided on this unit to connect a minimum No. 8AWG
(8.4mm) solid copper conductor between this unit and any metal equipment,
metal enclosures of electrical equipment, metal water pipe, or conduit within
5 feet (1.5m) of the unit.
4. Danger Risk of Injury
(For cord-connected / convertible units)
A. Replace damaged cord immediately
B. Do not bury cord
C. Connect to a grounded, grounding type receptacle only.
4A. (For units with a G.F.C.I.)
WARNING - This product is provided with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
“G.F.C.I.” on the end of the spa’s power cord. This G.F.C.I. must be tested
before each use. With the product operating depress the “test” button on
the G.F.C.I. The spa should not operate. Depress the “Reset” button on the
G.F.C.I. The product should now operate normally. If the spa fails to operate
in this manner, there is a ground current flowing indicating a possible electric
shock. Disconnect the power until the fault has been identified and corrected
by a certified licensed electrician.
5. Warning
FOR PERMANENTLY INSTALLED UNITS - The electrical supply for this
product must include a suitably rated switch or circuit breaker to open all
ungrounded supply conductors to comply with Section 442-20 of the
National Electric Code. ANSI / NFPA 70-1987. In addition, all 230 volt
installations must be protected by a 230 volt Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
"G.F.C.I.". Any G.F.C.I. circuit breaker used in the house panel must read
current returning through the neutral conductor. 230 volt 2 conductor G.F.C.I.
circuit breakers will not operate correctly for your application.
6. Danger
Risk of Accidental Drowning. Extreme caution must be exercised to prevent
unauthorized access by children. To avoid accidents, ensure that children
cannot use this spa unless they are supervised at all times. For additional
protection, select a cover which is classified by the Underwriters
Laboratories Meeting ASTM F1346-91 requirements.
7. Danger
Risk of Injury. The suction fittings in this spa are sized to match the specific
water flow created by the pump. Should the need arise to replace the suction
fittings or the pump, be sure that the flow rates are compatible.
Never operate spa if suction fittings are broken or missing. Never replace a
suction fitting with one less than the flow rate marked on the original suction
fitting.
8. Danger
Risk of Electric Shock. Install at least 5 feet (1.5m) from all metal surfaces.
As an alternative, a spa may be installed within 5 feet (1.5m) of metal
surfaces if each metal surface is permanently connected by a minimum
No. 8AWG (8.4mm) solid copper conductor to the wire connector on the
terminal box that is provided for this purpose.
9. Danger
Risk of Electric Shock. Do not permit any electric appliance, such as light,
telephone, radio, or television, within 5 feet (1.5m) of a spa.
