7. DANGER - Risk of Injury.
The suction fittings in
this hot tub 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.
8. DANGER - Risk of Electric Shock.
Install at least 5
feet (1.5 m) from all metal surfaces. As an
alternative, a hot tub may be installed within 5 feet
of metal surfaces if each metal surface is
permanently connected by a minimum No. 8 AWG
(8.4 mm²) solid copper conductor to the wire
connector on the terminal box that is provided for
this purpose.
9. DANGER - Risk of Electric Shock.
Do not permit
any electric appliance, such as a light, telephone,
radio, or television, within 5 feet (1.5 m) of a hot
tub. (These units DO NOT have an integral ground
fault circuit interrupter. The installation of a integral
ground fault circuit interrupter MUST be done by a
qualified Electrician and must meet all local and
national codes.)
10. WARNING - To reduce the risk of injury:
a) Water temperature in excess of 38°C (100°F)
may be injurious to your health. The water in a
spa or hot tub should never exceed 40°C (104°F).
Water temperatures between 38°C (100°F) and 40°
C are considered safe for a healthy adult. Lower
water temperatures are recommended for young
children and when spa use exceeds 10 minutes.
(Before entering the spa or hot tub measure the
temperature with an accurate thermometer.)
b) 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 hot tub water
temperatures to 38°C (100°F).
c) Before entering a hot tub, the user should
measure the water temperature with an accurate
thermometer since the tolerance of water
temperature-regulating devices varies.
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 hot tub.
