3.0 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety pre-
cautions should always be followed, including:
1.
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE OPERATING THE
SPA!
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.
WARNING: A grounding wire connector is provided on this unit to con-
nect a minimum No. 8 AWG (8.4mm
2
) solid copper conductor between
this unit and any metal equipment, metal enclosures of electrical equip-
ment, metal water pipe, or conduit within 5 feet (1.5m) of the unit.
4.
DANGER:
Risk of Accidental Drowning
. Extreme caution must be exer-
cised to prevent unauthorized access by children. To avoid accidents,
ensure that children cannot use this spa unless they are supervised at all
times.
5.
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 the 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.
6.
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 (bonded) by a
minimum No. 8 AWG (8.4mm
2
) solid copper conductor attached to the
wire connector on the grounding lug, inside the equipment compartment
on the equipment box.
7.
DANGER:
Risk of Electric Shock
. Do not permit any electrical appliance,
such as a light, telephone, radio, television, etc. within 5 feet (1.5m) of a
spa, unless such appliances are built-in by the manufacturer.
8.
ELECTRICAL SUPPLY: 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 422-20 of the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70. The disconnect must be readily accessible and visible to
the spa occupant but installed at least 5 feet (1.5m) from the spa water.
9.
WARNING: To Reduce the Risk of Injury:
A.
The water in a spa should never exceed 104 °F (40 °C). Water tempera-
tures between 100 °F (38 °C) and 104 °F (40°C) are considered safe for
a healthy adult. Lower water temperatures are recommended for young
children and when spa use exceeds 10 minutes.
