IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO A RISK OF FIRE,
ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR INJURY TO PERSON
1. Read and follow all instructions
2. DANGER: To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this unit unless they are closely supervised at all times.
3. To avoid over spray from jets the water level must be at least 1" above all jets and intake covers.
4. Infants should not be permitted in the bathtub unit at water temperatures over 100˚ Fahrenheit and only with prior medical consultation and permission from
your doctor.
5. Pregnant women and persons suering from heart disease, diabetes, or high or low blood pressure should not enter the bathtub unit without prior medical
consultation and permission from their doctor.
6. For your rst whirlpool bath, start with a short duration of ve minutes. You can increase the time intervals as your body's tolerance adjusts. However, do not
use longer than 15 minutes at any one time.
7. High water temperatures and prolonged periods of use can raise internal human body temperature excessively and impair the body's ability to regulate its
internal temperature.
8. Check whirlpool or Heated Soaking Bathtub before use. Maximum safe temperature is 104˚ Fahrenheit (40˚ Celsius).
9. Observe reasonable time limits to avoid nausea, dizziness, and fainting.
10. Do not direct the water spray to the following body areas in these instances:
A. Any area of the body that is swollen, burned, inamed or where skin eruptions or ulcerated sores are present.
B. Any area of the body that is sore unless approved by your doctor.
C. The abdomen when pain is present.
D. Legs with varicose veins.
E. Calves of legs with unexplained pain.
11. Keep body, hair, and clothing a maximum of 12 inches away from the suction tting at all times when whirlpool or Heated Soaking Bathtub is operating. Do
not operate the unit without the guard over the suction tting.
12. Do not use whirlpool or Heated Soaking Bathtub while under the inuence of alcohol or narcotics.
13. Enter and exit the bathtub unit slowly.
14. Do not use electrically connected devices such as televisions, radios, stereo speakers, lights, cooking devices, hair dryers, telephones, or other electrical appli-
ances within ve feet of the bathtub unit.
15. Use this bathtub unit only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer.
16. Never drop or insert any object into any opening.
17. Keep all breakable objects out of area.
18. All electrical supply circuits providing the electrical power source to be connected to the whirlpool or Heated Soaking Bathtub should be checked, installed,
and inspected by a licensed electrician and inspected by the Building Code Authority having jurisdiction at the installation location upon installation and prior to
use of the whirlpool or Heated Soaking Bathtub.
19. The bathtub unit must be connected only to a supply circuit that is protected by a ground-fault circuit-interruptor (GFCI). Such a GFCI should be provided by
the installer and should be tested on a routine basis. If the GFCI fails to operate properly there may be a ground current owing, indicating the possibility of an
electric shock. Do not use this bathtub unit. Disconnect the bathtub unit and have the problem corrected by a qualied service representative before using.
20. A green colored terminal is provided within the terminal compartment. To reduce the risk of shock, connect this terminal to the grounding terminal of your
electric service or supply panel with a continuous green insulated copper wire equivalent in size to the circuit conductors supplying this equipment, but no
smaller than No. 12 AWG (3.3mm).
21. If more than one disconnect switch is required to disconnect all power to bathtub unit, the bathtub unit shall be marked where readily visible to service
personnel prior to disconnecting the main supply for the bathtub unit with the word "CAUTION" and the following or the equivalent: "Risk of Electric Shock - 2
disconnect switches are required to de-energize the bathtub unit before servicing."
22. Prolonged immersions in hotter water may induce hyperthermia.
23. The causes, symptoms and eects of hyperthermia may be described as follows: Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a
level several degrees above the normal body temperature of 98.6˚ F. The symptoms of hyperthermia include an increase in the internal temperature of the body,
dizziness, lethargy, drowsiness and fainting. The eects of hyperthermia include:
a) Failure to perceive heat
b) Failure to recognize the need to exit the hydromassage bathtub
c) Unawareness of impending hazard
d) Fetal damage in pregnant women
e) Physical inability to exit the hydromassage bathtub
f) Unconsciousness resulting in the danger of drowning
WARNING - The use of alcohol, drugs or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia.
24. Do not install a timer to the hydromassage bathtub.
