IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
(READ AND FOLLOW ALL
INSTRUCTIONS)
AVOIDING THE RISK TO CHILDREN
DANGER - RISK OF CHILD DROWNING
Extreme caution must be exercised to prevent unauthorized access
by children. To avoid accidents, ensure that children cannot use a
SWIMCROSS
Exercise System unless they are supervised at all times.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this
SWIMCROSS
Exercise System unless they are closely supervised at all
times.
• To reduce the risk of injury, lower water temperatures are
recommended for young children. Children are especially sensitive to
hot water.
• Extreme caution must be exercised to prevent unauthorized access
by children. To avoid accidents, ensure that children cannot use the
SWIMCROSS
Exercise System unless they are supervised at all
times.
DO:
• Make sure you always lock any child resistant locks after using the
SWIMCROSS
Exercise System for your children’s safety.
• Test the water temperature with your hand before allowing children
to enter the
SWIMCROSS
Exercise System to be sure that it’s
comfortable.
• Remind children that wet surfaces can be very slippery. Make sure
that children are careful when entering or exiting the
SWIMCROSS
Exercise System.
DON'T:
• Allow children to climb onto a
SWIMCROSS
Exercise System cover.
• Allow children to have unsupervised access to the
SWIMCROSS
Exercise System.
AVOIDING THE RISK OF ELECTROCUTION
DANGER - RISK OF ELECTROCUTION
• Connect only to a grounded source.
• Do not bury the power cord. A buried power cord may result in death,
or serious personal injury due to electrocution if direct burial-type cable
is not used, or if improper digging occurs.
• A ground terminal (pressure wire connector) is provided on the control
box inside the unit to permit connection of a minimum No. 6 AWG
(16 mm²) solid copper bonding conductor between this point and any
metal equipment, metal water pipe, metal enclosures of electrical
equipment, or conduit within five feet (1.5 m) of the unit as needed to
comply with local requirements.
• Do not connect any auxiliary components (for example, cable,
additional speakers, headphones, additional audio components) to the
audio system unless approved by Watkins Manufacturing Corporation
• Do not self service the audio component by opening or removing
SWIMCROSS
Exercise System door panel as this may expose
dangerous voltage or other risk of injury. Refer all servicing to qualified
service personnel.
• Do not attach an external antennae to a
SWIMCROSS
Exercise
System audio system unless installed by a licensed electrician in
accordance with Article 810 of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA
70.
WARNING
• To reduce the risk of electrical shock, replace a damaged cord
immediately. Failure to do so may result in death or serious personal
injury due to electrocution.
• Your
SWIMCROSS
Exercise System is provided with a Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) for user and equipment protection. To
ensure proper operation of this important safety device, test according
to the following instructions:
• A ground terminal is provided inside the junction box. To reduce
the risk of electric shock, connect this terminal to the grounding
terminal of your electrical service or supply panel with a continuous
green, insulated copper wire. The wire must be equivalent in size
to the circuit conductors supplying the equipment. In addition, a
bonding terminal (pressure wire connector) is provided on the
outside of the control box/heater for bonding to local ground
points. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this connector should
be bonded with a No. 6 AWG (16 mm
²
) solid copper wire to
any metal ladders, water pipes, or other metal within 5 feet (1.5
m) of the
SWIMCROSS
Exercise System to comply with local
requirements. The means of disconnection must be readily
accessible, but must be installed at least 5 feet (1.5 m) from the
SWIMCROSS
Exercise System.
• Your
SWIMCROSS
Exercise System is provided with a suitably
rated circuit breaker to open all ungrounded supply conductors.
• Your
SWIMCROSS
Exercise System uses ground fault circuit
interrupters in the electrical subpanel. Before each use of the
SWIMCROSS
Exercise System and with the unit operating, push
the TEST button on each breaker. The switch should click over to
the “Trip” position. Wait 30 seconds and reset each GFCI breaker
by switching it completely off and then completely on. The switch
should then stay on. If either of the interrupters does not perform in
this manner, it is an indication of an electrical malfunction and the
possibility of an electric shock. Disconnect the power until the fault
has been identified and corrected.
DANGER - RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK
• Install at least 5 feet (1.5 m) from all metal surfaces. A
SWIMCROSS
Exercise System may be installed within 5 feet of a metal surface if
each metal surface is permanently connected by a minimum No. 8
AWG (10 mm
²
) solid copper conductor attached to the wire ground
NO DIVING
Danger: Diving May Result
in serious injury or death.
