IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
When installing and using this equipment, basic safety precautions should always
be followed, including:
Risk of Accidental Drowning. Extreme caution must be exercised to prevent
unauthorized access by children. To avoid accidents, ensure that children cannot use or
approach the spa unless they are supervised at all times.
Risk of Serious Injury or Death. The suction fittings in this spa are sized to match the
specific water flow created by the pump. Should the need arise to replace the suction
fittings or the pump, be sure that the flow rates are compatible. Never operate the spa if
the suction fittings are broken or missing. Never replace a suction fitting with one rated
less than the flow rate marked on the original suction fitting.
Risk of Electric Shock. Install at least 5 FEET (1.5 m), from all metal surfaces. As an
alternative, 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 mm
2
) solid copper conductor
attached to the wire connector on the grounding lug, inside the equipment compartment on
the equipment can.
Risk of Electric Shock. Do not permit any electrical appliance, such as a light,
telephone, radio, television, etc. within 5 feet (1.5 m) of a spa. Never operate any
electrical appliances from inside the spa or when you are wet.
The electrical supply for this spa must include a suitably rated switch or circuit breaker to
open all ungrounded supply conductors to comply with section 680-42 of the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-1993. The disconnect must be readily accessible and
visible to the spa occupant but installed at least 5 feet (1.5 m), from the spa water.
A grounding wire connector is provided on this spa to connect a minimum No. 8 AWG
(8.4 mm
2
) solid copper conductor between this unit and any metal equipment, metal
enclosures of electrical equipment, metal water pipe, or conduit within 5 feet (1.5 m) of
the spa.
Do not attempt to remove the light housing cover without lowering the water level below
the light housing cover.
To Reduce the Risk of Injury: The water 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. Lower water temperatures are recommended for young children and when
spa use exceeds 10 minutes.
To Reduce the Risk of Injury: 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 100° F (38° C).
To Reduce the Risk of Injury: Before entering a spa, the user should measure the water
temperature with an accurate thermometer since the tolerance of water temperature-
regulating devices may vary as much as +/- 5° F (2° C).
To Reduce the Risk of Injury: The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication before or during
spa use may lead to unconsciousness with the possibility of drowning.
To Reduce the Risk of Injury: Pregnant women, the elderly, infants, or persons
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. Pregnant or possibly pregnant women should not enter water warmer than
100° F (38° C).
