20. Do not use an extension cord with the
RENEW 207; this could damage the motor
and will void the warranty.
21. DANGER—If you will be using the RENEW
207 outside, do not bury the power cord.
Keep the power cord away from lawn mow-
ers, hedge trimmers, and other similar equip-
ment.
22. WARNING—The power cord is equipped with
a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI),
located at the end of the power cord. The
GFCI must be tested before each use. To test
the GFCI, press the “test” button while the
RENEW 207 is running. The spa should shut
off. Press the “reset” button. The spa should
resume normal operation. If the spa contin-
ues to run after the “test” button is pressed,
the GFCI is damaged. Do not use the spa
until the GFCI has been repaired or replaced
by a qualified electrician.
23. Keep all electrical appliances such as radios,
telephones, televisions, and lights at least
five feet (1.52 meters) away from the water.
24. A wire connector is provided on the electron-
ics of the RENEW 207 to connect a minimum
No. 8 AWG (804 mm
2 ) solid copper conductor
between the spa and any metal equipment,
electrical enclosure made of metal, metal
water pipes, or conduit within five feet
(1.52m) of the spa.
25. DANGER—Risk of electric shock: Do not set
up the RENEW 207 within five feet of any
metal objects or surfaces. As an alternative,
you may use the spa within five feet of metal
objects if each metal object is permanently
connected to the wire connector on the pump
motor of the spa by a minimum No. 8 AWG
(804 mm
2 ) solid copper conductor (see
instruction 24).
26. Do not operate the pump motor when the
RENEW 207 is empty. The pump motor may
be damaged if it is operated without water
circulating.
27. DANGER—Risk of drowning: Exercise
extreme caution to prevent unauthorized and
unsupervised use of the RENEW 207 by chil-
dren. Children must always be supervised.
28. DANGER—To reduce the risk of drowning:
• Never use the RENEW 207 alone;
• Children should not use the spa unless they
are supervised by an adult;
• Keep pets away from the spa at all times;
• Always replace and lock the spa cover
when the spa is not in use.
29. WARNING—To reduce the risk of injury: The
water temperature should never exceed 104°
F (40°C). Temperatures between 100° F (38°C)
and 104° F (40°C) are considered to be safe
for healthy adults. However, if you plan to
remain in the RENEW 207 for more than 10 to
15 minutes, a lower temperature is recom-
mended. Lower temperatures are also recom-
mended for children. Children should not be
allowed to swim under the surface in the spa.
30. WARNING—To reduce the risk of injury:
Always use an accurate thermometer to
determine the water temperature before using
the RENEW 207.
31. WARNING—To reduce the risk of injury:
Pregnant women should consult with their
physician before using the RENEW 207.
Pregnant women should not use the spa if
the water temperature is above 100° F (38° C);
the unborn child could be seriously harmed.
This is especially important during the first
90 days of the pregnancy.
32. DANGER—To reduce the risk of drowning:
Prolonged immersion in the RENEW 207 may
cause hyperthermia, a dangerous condition
which occurs when the internal body temper-
ature rises several degrees above the normal
body temperature of 98.6° F. The symptoms
of hyperthermia are nausea, dizziness,
drowsiness, and fainting. Effects include: a
lack of awareness, inability to perceive heat
or danger, and a greater risk of drowning due
to a loss of consciousness. Special note:
Individuals suffering from hyperthermia may
be unable to realize that they must exit the
spa, and they also may be physically unable
to do so.
33. WARNING—To reduce the risk of drowning:
Do not use the RENEW 207 if you are under
the influence of alcohol or drugs. Heat from
the water, in conjunction with alcohol or
drugs can cause unconsciousness.
