20. DANGERÑIf you will be using the hydrother-
apy spa outside, do not bury the power cord;
you should also keep the power cord away
from lawn mowers, hedge trimmers, and
other similar equipment.
21. WARNINGÑThe hydrotherapy spa must be
wired directly into a 240 volt power source
equipped with a Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI). The GFCI must be tested
before each use. To test the GFCI, press the
ÒtestÓ button while the spa is running. The
spa should shut off. Press the ÒresetÓ but-
ton. The spa should resume normal opera-
tion. If the spa continues to run after the
ÒtestÓ button is pressed, then the GFCI is
damaged. Do not use the hydrotherapy spa
until the GFCI has been repaired or replaced
by a qualified electrician.
22. Keep all electrical appliances such as radios,
telephones, televisions, and lights at least
five feet (1.52 meters) away from the water.
23. A wire connector is provided on the pump
motor of this unit to connect a minimum No.
8 AWG (804 mm
2
) solid copper conductor
between this unit and any metal equipment,
electrical enclosure made of metal, metal
water pipes, or conduit within five feet
(1.52m) of the unit.
24. DANGERÑRisk of electric shock: Do not set
up the hydrotherapy spa within five feet of
any metal objects or surfaces. As an alterna-
tive, you may use the hydrotherapy spa with-
in five feet of metal objects if each metal
object is permanently connected to the wire
connector on the pump motor of this unit by
a minimum No. 8 AWG (804 mm
2
) solid cop-
per conductor (see instruction 24).
25. Do not operate the pump motor when the spa
is empty. The pump motor may be seriously
damaged if it is operated without water circu-
lating. The cut-off valves must always be
open when using the spa (see step 2 on page
8).
26. DANGERÑTo reduce the risk of drowning:
¥ Never use the hydrotherapy spa alone;
¥ Children should not use the hydrotherapy
spa unless they are supervised by an adult;
¥ Keep pets away from the hydrotherapy spa
at all times;
¥ Always replace and lock the spa cover
when the hydrotherapy spa is not in use.
27. DANGERÑRisk of drowning: Exercise
extreme caution to prevent unauthorized and
unsupervised use of the hydrotherapy spa by
children. Children must always be super-
vised.
28. WARNINGÑTo 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 hydrotherapy spa for more
than 10 to 15 minutes, a lower temperature is
recommended. Lower temperatures are also
recommended for children. Children should
not be allowed to swim under the surface of
the water in the spa.
29. WARNINGÑTo reduce the risk of injury:
Always use an accurate thermometer to
determine the water temperature before
using the hydrotherapy spa.
30. WARNINGÑTo reduce the risk of injury:
Pregnant women should consult with their
physician before using the hydrotherapy spa.
Pregnant women should not use the
hydrotherapy 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.
31. DANGERÑTo reduce the risk of drowning:
Prolonged immersion in the hydrotherapy
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, drowsiness, and fainting. Effects
include: a lack of awareness, inability to per-
ceive 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 hydrotherapy spa, and
they also may be physically unable to do so.
32. WARNINGÑTo reduce the risk of drowning:
Do not use the hydrotherapy spa if you are
under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Heat
from the water, in conjunction with alcohol or
drugs can cause unconsciousness.
33. Do not use the hydrotherapy spa immediate-
ly after strenuous exercise.
