INSTRUcTIONS (cONT.)
(For units with GFCI)
WARNING – This product is provided with a ground-fault circuit interrupter locat-
ed on the front panel of selected swim spas and on the power cord of 120 volt
convertible spas. The GFCI must be tested before each use. With the product
operating, open the service door. When the product stops operating, this merely
indicates that the door is equipped with an electrical interlock. Next, push the
test button on the GFCI and close the service door. The product should not oper-
ate. Now open the service door, push the reset button on the GFCI and close the
service door. The product should now operate normally. When the product fails
to operate in this manner, there is a ground current flowing indicating the possi-
bility of an electric shock. Disconnect the power until the fault has been identified
and corrected.
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.
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 the suction fittings are broken or missing. Never replace a suction
fitting with one rated less than the flow rate marked on the original suction fitting.
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 of metal surfaces if each metal
surface is permanently connected by a minimum 8AWG (8.4mm
2
) solid copper conduc-
tor to the wire connector on the terminal box that is provided for this purpose.
DANGER – Risk of Electric Shock. Do not permit any electric appliance, such as a light,
telephone, radio, or television, within 5 feet (1.5 m) of a spa.
WARNING – To reduce the risk of injury:
a) The water in a spa should never exceed 40˚C (104˚F). Water temperatures
between 38˚C (100˚F) and 40˚C are considered safe for a healthy adult. Lower
water temperatures are recommended for young children and when spa use
exceeds 10 minutes.
