3.1 Entrapment Risk
The Consumer Products Safety Commission/USA has reported that
users of pools and spas have become entrapped (stuck) to drain and/or
suction ttings causing death, drowning, or serious injury (see diagram
below). This spa was manufactured to meet the standards and specica-
tions outlined in the “Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act”
(VGB Safety Act). Entrapment risk can be minimized if proper precau-
tions are taken.
DANGER: RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH!
Never operate the spa if a suction tting, suction cover, lter,
lter lid or skimmer assembly are broken, damaged or missing.
