IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic
safety precautions should always be followed, including the
following:
1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS:
2. WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit
children to use this product unless closely supervised at
all times.
3. As per UL requirements (U.S.), a wire connector is provided
on this unit to connect a minimum No. 8 AWG (8.4mm
2
)
solid copper conductor between this unit and any metal
equipment, metal enclosures of electrical equipment,
metal water pipe, or conduit within 5 feet (1.5m) of the unit.
4. WARNING: For products provided with a cord-connected,
ground-fault circuit-interrupter, the GFCI must be tested
before each use. If the GFCI fails to operate properly,
disconnect the power until the fault has been identied
and corrected.
5. DANGER: Risk of Accidental Drowning. Extreme caution
must be exercised to prevent unauthorized access by
children. To avoid accidents, ensure that children cannot
use this spa unless they are supervised at all times.
6. DANGER: Risk of Injury. The suction ttings in the spa are
sized to match the specic water ow created by the
pump. Should the need arise to replace the suction ttings
or the pump, be sure that the ow rates are compatible.
Never operate the spa if the suction ttings are broken or
missing. Do not replace a suction tting with one rated less
than the ow rate marked on the original suction tting.
7. DANGER: Risk of Electric Shock. As per UL requirements
(U.S.), install spa at least 5 feet (1.5m) from all metal
surfaces. A spa may be installed within 5 feet (1.5m) of
metal surfaces if each metal surface is permanently
connected by a minimum of No. 8 AWG (8.4mm2) solid
copper conductor to the wire connector on the terminal
box that is provided for this purpose.
8. DANGER: Risk of Electric Shock. Do not permit any
electrical appliances, such as a light, telephone, radio, or
television within 5 feet (1.5m) of the spa. These units DO NOT
have an integral ground fault circuit interrupter. The
installation of an integral ground fault circuit interrupter
MUST be completed by a qualied Electrician and must
meet all applicable electrical codes.
9. WARNING: To Reduce the Risk of Injury:
a. Water temperature in a 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.
Water temperature in excess of 104
◦
F (40
◦
C) may be
injurious to your health. Lower temperatures are
recommended for young children and/or when spa use
exceeds 10 minutes.
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 spa usage when temperatures are in
excess of 100
◦
F (38
◦
C).
c. Before entering the spa, 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 a medical history of
heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory
system problems, and/or diabetes should consult a
physician before using a spa.
f. Persons using medication should consult a physician
before using a spa. Some medications may induce
drowsiness while other medication may affect heart
rate, blood pressure, and/or circulation.
10. For Cord-Connected units: a) Replace damaged cord
immediately. b) Do not bury cord. c) Connect to grounded,
grounding-type receptacle only.
11. WARNING: PEOPLE WITH INFECTIOUS DISEASES SHOULD
NOT USE A SPA OR HOT TUB.
12. WARNING: TO AVOID INJURY, EXERCISE CARE WHEN
ENTERING OR EXITING THE SPA OR HOT TUB.
13. WARNING: DO NOT USE A SPA OR HOT TUB IMMEDIATELY
FOLLOWING STRENUOUS EXERCISE.
