HYPERTHERMIA
Prolonged immersion in hot water may induce hyperthermia.
A description of the causes, symptoms, and eects of hyper-
thermia are as follows:
Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the
body reaches a level several degrees above the normal body
temperature of 98.6 °F (37 °C). The symptoms of hyperther-
mia include drowsiness, lethargy, and an increase in the in-
ternal temperature of the body.
The eects of hyperthermia include:
a) Unawareness of impending hazard;
b) Failure to perceive heat;
c) Failure to recognize the need to exit hot tub;
d) Physical inability to exit hot tub;
e) Fetal damage in pregnant women; and
f) Unconsciousness and danger of drowning.
CAUTIONS
1. Observe a reasonable time limit when using the hot
tub. Long exposures at higher temperatures can cause
high body temperature. Symptoms may include dizzi-
ness, nausea, fainting, drowsiness, and reduced aware-
ness. These eects could possibly result in drowning.
2. Always test the hot tub water temperature before en-
tering the hot tub. Enter and exit the hot tub slowly. Wet
surfaces can be very slippery.
3. Proper chemical maintenance of hot tub water is neces-
sary to maintain safe water and prevent possible damage
to hot tub components.
4. Use the straps and clip tie downs to secure the cover
when not in use. This will help to discourage unsuper-
vised children from entering the hot tub and keep the
hot tub cover secure in high-wind conditions. There is no
representation that the cover, clip tie-downs, or actual
locks will prevent access to the hot tub.
5. For exercise, the water should not exceed 90 °F (32 °C).
SET-UP AND DELIVERY GUIDELINES

them to prevent prolonged water exposure.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS: ALL SELF-CONTAINED SPAS
USE 120 OR 240 VOLT ELECTRIC SPA PACKS.
All installations should be done by a certied electrician.
• Your120-voltspapackrequiresanisolated(nootherap-
pliances or lights on this circuit at any time) 120-volt, 20-
amp circuit breaker.
• Extensioncordsarenottobeusedinconjunctionwith
the operation of the spa. Low voltage damage could re-
sult, which is not covered by warranty.
• Dependingonthemodel,your240-voltspawillrequirea
40- or 50-amp dedicated circuit breaker, GFCI, with prop-
er wire size for length of run.
• Ifyouhaveanydoubts,haveyourelectricalsystem
checked by a certied electrician.
* See Diagram 02 on Page 20
SURFACE AND PAD REQUIREMENTS
• Yournewportablespamustbeplacedonarm,atand
level surface, so the spa weight is supported uniformly.
We recommend no less than a 3-1/2 in. (93 mm) thick
concrete slab. Alternate decking methods may void war-
ranty of spa shell.
• ContactyourCoastSpasdealerifyouhaveanyquestions
regarding spa location or placement.
REQUIREMENTS FOR WOOD DECKING, GATES AND
BALCONIES
• Wooddeckingorbalconiesmustbeconstructedtosupport
150 pounds per square foot (730 kg/m²). Refer to local and
current building codes in your area.
• Consultanengineerforliveloadsinyourarea.
Should your new spa need to go through a gate, the open-
ing should be a minimum of 48 inches and up to 8.5’ overhead
clearance depending on the size of the unit.
