IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
It is the hot tub owner’s responsibility to read and follow all the instructions and precautions described in this
manual. Failure to do so may result in personal injury. Liability rests with the hot tub owner. Please, make
instructions available for reference by all hot tub users.
1. BEFORE OPERATING THE SPA: READ AND FOLLOW ALL
INSTRUCTIONS. SAVE ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
2. A wire connector is provided on this unit to connect a
minimum No. 8 AWG (8.4mm2) 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 hot tub.
3. 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 hot tub unless they are supervised at all times.
4. DANGER – Risk of injury. The suction fittings in this hot
tub 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 the flow rates are compatible.
Never operate the hot tub 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.
Always use, new, virgin, fresh parts in hot tub.
5. DANGER – Risk of Electric Shock. Install at least 5 feet
(1.5m) from all metal surfaces. As an alternative, a hot tub
may be installed within 5 feet (1.5m) of metal surfaces if
each metal surface is permanently connected by a minimum
of No. 8 AWG (8.4mm2) solid copper conductor to the
wire connector on the power pack that is provided for this
purpose.
6. DANGER – Risk of Electric Shock. Do not permit any
electric appliance, such as a light, telephone, radio, or
television within 5 feet (1.5m) of the hot tub.
7. WARNING – To reduce the risk of Injury:
a. Before using your hot tub, you should measure the
water temperature with an accurate thermometer since
the tolerance of water temperature-regulating devices
varies ± 5º F (±3º C).
b. The water in the hot tub should never exceed 104° F
(40° C). Water temperatures between 100° F
(37º C) and 104° F (40° C) are considered safe
for a healthy adult. Lower water temperatures are
recommended for young children and when hot tub use
exceeds 10 minutes.
c. The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication before or
during hot tub use may lead to unconsciousness with the
possibility of drowning.
d. Individuals using medications should consult their
physician before using the hot tub since some medications
may induce drowsiness, while other medications may
affect heart rate, blood pressure, and circulation.
e. Individuals suffering from obesity or with a medical
history of heart disease, high or low blood pressure,
circulatory system problems, multiple sclerosis, thyroid
disease, or diabetes should consult their physician before
using the hot tub.
f. Since excessive water temperatures have a high
potential for causing fetal damage during early months of
pregnancy, pregnant or possibly pregnant women should
limit hot tub water temperatures to 100° F
(37º C), you should also consult your physician before
using the hot tub.
g. Heat stroke is a dangerous condition brought about by
excessive heat. It especially affects the very young, elderly,
individuals under the influence of alcohol or drugs,
and those using certain medications. The symptoms
include: sweating, dizziness, nausea, light-headedness,
convulsions, increased pulse rate, shallow breathing,
and in the extreme, unconsciousness. If you suspect heat
stroke, get medical help immediately. Lay the victim on his
back, with the head slightly elevated for easier breathing,
and apply ice packs to the head.
h. Emergency telephone numbers, such as: hospital,
physician, ambulance, paramedics, and the police
should be readily available and posted next to a close-by
telephone.
8. This appliance should be supplied through a residual
current device (RCD) with a rated tripping current not
exceeding 30mA.
9. A means for disconnection must be incorporated into fixed
wiring according to local electrical codes.
