DANGER
- Risk of electric shock. Do not permit any electrical appliance, such as a light,
telephone, radio or television within 5 feet (1.5m) of a spa. These units DO NOT have an
internal ground fault circuit interrupter. The installation of a ground fault circuit interrupter
MUST be done by a qualified Electrician and must meet all local and national codes.
DANGER: RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK
• Install at least 5 feet (1.5 m) from all metal surfaces. A spa may be installed within 5 feet of
a metal surface if each metal surface is permanently connected by a minimum No. 8 AWG
(8.4 mm) solid copper conductor attached to the wire ground connector on the terminal
box that is provided for this purpose if in accordance with National Electrical Code ANSI/
NMFPA70-1993.
• Do not permit any electrical appliances, such as a light, telephone, radio, or television within
5 feet (1.5 m) of a spa. Failure to maintain a safe distance may result in death, or serious
personal injury due to electrocution, if the appliance should fall into the spa.
• Install your spa is such a way that drainage is away from the electrical compartment and
from all electrical components.
DO:
• Do test the water temperature with your hand before entering the spa to be sure the
water temperature is comfortable.
• Do keep the spa cover locked when the spa is not in use.
• Do check the equipment compartment monthly for any signs of tampering to the spa
equipment.
• Do follow the maintenance instructions of the spa found in this owner’s manual.
• Be sure your spa is connected to the power supply correctly - use a licensed electrical
contractor.
• Test the Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter(s) once a month.
DON’T:
• Use the spa with the equipment compartment door removed.
• Place electrical appliances within 5 feet (1.5m) of the spa.
• Don’t allow children to have unsupervised access to the spa.
• Don’t block the equipment compartment vents. This could cause damage to the spa
equipment and will void the warranty.
RISKS TO AVOID
DANGER: RISK OF INJURY
• To reduce the risk of injury to persons, DO NOT remove suction fittings located at the
bottom footwells of the spa.
• The suction fittings in the spa are sized to match the specific water flow created by the
pump. Never replace a suction fitting with one rated less than the flow rate marked on the
original suction fitting. Never operate the spa if the suction fittings are broken or missing.
• There is a danger of slipping and falling. Remember that wet surfaces can be very slippery.
Take care when entering or exiting the spa.
• People with infectious diseases should not use the spa.
• Keep any loose articles of clothing or hanging jewelry away from rotating jets or other
moving components.
• The use of drugs, alcohol, or medication before or during spa use may lead to unconscious-
ness with the possibility of drowning.
