When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
1.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product unless they are closely supervised at all
times.
2.
WARNING: A wire connector is provided on this unit to connect a minimum 6 AWG (4.11 mm) 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.
3.
DANGER RISK OF INJURY: (For cord and plug connected units):
a.
Replace damaged cord immediately
b.
Do not bury cord
c.
Connect to a grounded, grounding type receptacle only.
4.
WARNING: (For units with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI): This product is provided with a Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter GFCI on the end of t
he spa’s power cord. This
GFCI must be tested before each use. With the product
operating depress the “test” button on the GFCI the spa should not operate. Depress the “
r
eset” button on the
GFCI. 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.
DANGER RISK OF ACCIDENTAL DROWNING: Extreme caution must be exercised to prevent unauthorized access by
children. To avoid accidents, ensure that they cannot use this spa unless they are supervised at all times. For additional
protection, use a cover which is classified by the Underwriters Laboratories Meeting ASTM F1346-91 requirements. The
cover supplied by the manufacturer meets these requirements.
6.
DANGER RISK OF INJURY: If your spa is equipped with suction fittings, 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.
7.
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 6 AWG
(4.11 mm) solid copper conductor to the wire connector on the terminal box that is provided for this purpose.
8.
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.
9.
WARNING TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY:
a.
The water in a spa 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. Lower water temperatures are recommended for your children
and when spa use exceeds 10 minutes.
b.
Since excessive water temperatures have high potential for fetal damage during the early months of pregnancy,
pregnant or possibly pregnant women should limit spa water temperatures to 100°F (38°C).
c.
Before entering spa, the user should measure the water temperature with an accurate thermometer since the
tolerances of water temperature-regulating devices vary.
d.
The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication before or during spa use may lead to unconsciousness with the
possibility of drowning.
e.
Persons suffering from obesity or with a medical history of heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory
system problems, or diabetes should consult a physician before using a spa.
f.
Persons using medication should consult a physician before using a spa since some medication may induce
drowsiness while other medication may affect heart rate, blood pressure, and circulation.
10.
WARNING:
a.
People with infectious diseases should not use a spa or hot tub.
b.
To avoid injury, exercise care when entering or exiting a spa or hot tub.
c.
Do not use a spa or hot tub immediately following strenuous exercise.
d.
Prolonged immersion in a spa or hot tub may be injurious to your health.
11.
Caution: Maintain water chemistry in accordance to manufa
cturer’s instructions.
