WARNING: To reduce the risk of drowning, electric shock, or serious injury, read the following
important precautions before using the hydrotherapy spa.
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
1. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of the hydrotherapy spa are
adequately informed of all precautions.
2. Use the hydrotherapy spa only as described
in this manual.
3. The hydrotherapy spa is intended for home
use only. Do not use this product in any
commercial, rental or institutional setting.
4. Use the hydrotherapy spa only on a level
surface. Do not use the hydrotherapy spa on
carpet or other materials that could be dam-
aged by moisture. Do not use the hydrother-
apy spa on rough or sharp surfaces such as
gravel or wood chips.
5. The hydrotherapy spa will weigh approxi-
mately 1800 pounds when it is filled with
water. Make sure the location you select for
the hydrotherapy spa will support this
weight, plus the weight of the occupants.
6. Inspect and tighten all parts regularly.
Replace any worn parts immediately.
7. DANGERÑRisk of injury: Do not remove or
alter the covers on the suction fittings. Never
operate the hydrotherapy spa if the suction
guard is missing or broken. If you need to
replace a suction fitting or pump, make sure
the flow rate of the replacement is compati-
ble. Keep hair and body parts away from the
suction guard. Do not allow long hair to float
freely in the water; long hair should be
restrained with a bathing cap.
8. IMPORTANT: Do not allow the hydrotherapy
spa to be exposed to direct sunlight when it
is empty. The surface of the spa shell can
reach temperatures as high as 150ûF in a
matter of minutes if exposed to the sun while
it is empty. These high temperatures can
cause significant damage, such as blistering
of the shell surface and warping of the spa
shell. Any damage caused by sun exposure
is not covered under the warranty.
9. Do not bring any object into the hydrothera-
py spa that could damage the spa shell.
10. Never insert any object into any opening.
11. Do not use breakable containers in or near
the hydrotherapy spa.
12. Do not sit on the spa cover or place objects
on it. It is not designed to support weight.
13. Remove any water or debris which may col-
lect on the spa cover.
14. Keep children under the age 12 and pets
away from the hydrotherapy spa when it is
not in use.
15. Keep all chemicals away from children and
pets.
16. The pH and chemical balance of the water
must be maintained as explained in this man-
ual (see pages 10 and 14). Failure to do so
may cause injury to users or damage to the
spa, and it will void the warranty.
17. Individuals with infections and open sores or
wounds should not use the hydrotherapy
spa. Bacteria thrive in warm and hot water.
Always keep your spa disinfected and main-
tain the proper chemical balance.
18. Shower before and after using the hydrother-
apy spa. This will remove any deodorant,
perspiration or body oils which could conta-
minate the water. Showering after will
remove any residual chemicals and will also
remove any bacteria which may have been in
the spa.
19. DANGERÑWhen connecting the power cord
(see PLUGGING IN THE HYDROTHERAPY
SPA on page 10), plug the power cord direct-
ly into a grounded circuit capable of carrying
15 or more amps. No other appliance should
be on the same circuit. Replace the power
cord immediately if damaged.
20. Do not use an extension cord with the
hydrotherapy spa. This could damage the
motor and will void the warranty.
21. DANGERÑIf you will be using the hydrother-
apy spa outside, do not bury the power cord;
