10. Your spa uses ground fault circuit interrupters in the electrical sub-panel. Before
each use of the spa and with the unit operating press the Test button on each
breaker. The switch should click over to the Trip position. Wait thirty 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.
NOTE:
Failure to wait 30 seconds before resetting the GFCI may cause the spas
Power Indicator (on the control panel) to blink. If this occurs, repeat the GFCI test
procedure.

11. Install the spa so proper drainage is provided for the compartment containing the
electrical components.
12.
DANGER:
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. Install the spa at least five feet (1.5m) of
metal surfaces if, in accordance with the National Electric Code ANS/NMFPA70 -
1993, each metal surface is permanently connected to a minimum No. 8 (8.42mm
2
)
solid copper conductor attached to the wire bonding connector on the terminal box
that is provided for this purpose.)
13.
DANGER:
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. Do not permit any appliance, such as a
light, telephone, radio, or television within five feet (1.5m) of the spa or hot tub.
14.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of injury:
The water in the 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 extended use (exceeding 10
minutes) and for young children.
Since excessive water temperatures have a high potential for causing fetal damage
during the early months of pregnancy, pregnant or possibly pregnant women should
limit spa water temperatures to 100° F (38° C).
Before entering a spa, the user should measure the water temperature with an
accurate thermometer since the tolerance of temperature-regulating devices may
vary as much as +/- 5° F (3° C).
The use of drugs, alcohol, or medication before or during spa use may lead to
unconsciousness with the possibility of drowning.
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 the spa.
Persons using medications 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.
15.
DANGER:
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS. Do not remove
the suction fittings.
16.
DANGER:
RISK OF INJURY: Never operate a spa if the suction fitting(s) are
broken or missing. Never replace a suction fitting with one rated less than the flow
rate marked on the original suction fitting. The suction fittings in the 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.
17.
DANGER:
Children are especially sensitive to hot water. At no time should children
have unsupervised access to the spa. Children must not be allowed to climb onto the
spa cover. All Marquis Spas are equipped with a locking cover that meets the ASTM
F1346-91 Standard for Safety Covers. Always lock the child resistant locks after using
the spa for your children’s safety.
