20. Do not use an extension cord with the spa;
this could damage the motor and will void
the warranty.
21. DANGER—If you will be using the spa out-
side, do not bury the power cord. Keep the
power cord away from lawn mowers, hedge
trimmers, and other similar equipment.
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
spa 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 spa to connect a minimum No. 8
AWG (8.04 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 spa 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
(8.04 mm
2 ) solid copper conductor (see
instruction 24).
26. Do not operate the pump motor when the spa
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 spa by children.
Children must always be supervised.
28. DANGER—To reduce the risk of drowning:
• Never use the spa 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 spa for more than 10 to 15 min-
utes, a lower temperature is recommended.
Lower temperatures are also recommended
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 spa.
31. WARNING—To reduce the risk of injury:
Pregnant women should consult with their
physician before using the spa. 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 spa may cause
hyperthermia, a dangerous condition which
occurs when the internal body temperature
rises several degrees above the normal body
temperature of 98.6° F. The symptoms of
hyperthermia are nausea, dizziness, drowsi-
ness, and fainting. Effects include: a lack of
awareness, inability to perceive heat or dan-
ger, 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 spa if you are under the influ-
ence of alcohol or drugs. Heat from the
water, in conjunction with alcohol or drugs
can cause unconsciousness.
