P AGE 2
W hen 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 they are closely supervised at all times.
3. A g rounding wire connector is provided under
the motor unit to permit connection of a
minimum No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm) solid copper
conductor between this point and any metal
equipment, metal enclosure or electrical
equipment, metal water pipe, or conduit within
5 feet (1.5 m) of the unit.
4. DANGER - Risk of injury.
A. Replace damaged cord immediately .
B. Do not bury cord.
C. Connect to a g rounded, grounding type
receptacle only.
5. WARNING - T his appliance is provided with a
Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter (located near
the end of the power cord). The GFCI must be
tested before each use. With the plug
connected to the power outlet and with the unit
operating, push the test button. The unit should
stop operating. Push the reset button. The unit
should now operate normally. If the interrupter
fails to operate in this manner, there is ground
current flowing, indicating the possibility of an
electrical shock. Disconnect the plug from the
outlet until the fault has been identified and
corrected.
6. 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.
7 . DANGER - Risk of injury. T he filter in this spa
is sized to match the specific water flow created
by the pump. Should the need arise to replace
the filter or the pump, be sure that the flow
rates are compatible. Never operate the spa if
the filter is broken or missing. Never replace a
filter with one rated less than the flow rate on
the original filter.
8. DANGER - Risk of Electric Shock. Install at
least 5 feet (1.5 m) from all metal surfaces. A
spa may be installed within 5 feet of metal
surfaces if each metal surface is permanently
connected by a minimum No. 8 AWG (8.4)
solid copper conductor to the wire connector
under the motor unit which 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 spa.
1 0. WARNING - To reduce the risk of injury:
A. T he water in a spa should never exceed
40˚ C (104˚ F). Water temperatures
between 38˚ C (100˚ F) and 40˚ C
(104˚ F) are considered safe for a healthy
adult. Lower water temperatures are
recommended for young children and
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 water temperatures to
38˚ C (100˚ F).
C. Before entering a spa the user should
measure the water temperature with an
accurate thermometer since the tolerance
of water temperature-regulating devices
varies.
D. T he use of alcohol, drugs, or medication
before or during spa use may lead to
unconsciousness with the possibility of
drowning.
E. P ersons 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 spa.
F . P ersons using medication should consult a
physician before using a spa since some
medication may induce drowsiness while
other medication may affect heart rate,
blood pressure, and circulation.
