Use and Care Manual

Important Safety Instructions

When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS

1. WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product unless they are closely supervised

at all times.

2. WARNING: A wire connector is provided on this unit to connect a minimum 6 AWG (4.11 mm) solid copper

conductor between this unit and any metal equipment, metal enclosures of electrical equipment, metal water pipe,

or conduit within 5 feet (1.5m) of the unit.

3. DANGER RISK OF INJURY: (For cord and plug connected units):

a. Replace damaged cord immediately

b. Do not bury cord

c. Connect to a grounded, grounding type receptacle only.

4. WARNING: (For units with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI): This product is provided with a Ground Fault

Circuit Interrupter GFCI on the end of the spa’s power cord. This GFCI must be tested before each use. With the

product operating depress the “test” button on the GFCI the spa should not operate. Depress the “reset” button on

the GFCI. The product should now operate normally. If the spa fails to operate in this manner, there is a ground

current flowing indicating a possible electric shock. Disconnect the power until the fault has been identified and

corrected by a certified licensed electrician.

5. DANGER RISK OF ACCIDENTAL DROWNING: Extreme caution must be exercised to prevent unauthorized access by

children. To avoid accidents, ensure that children cannot use this spa unless they are supervised at all times. For

additional protection, select a cover which is classified by the Underwriters Laboratories Meeting ASTM F1346-91

requirements.

6. DANGER RISK OF INJURY: If your spa is equipped with suction fittings, 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 spa if suction fittings are broken or missing. Never

replace a suction fitting with one less than the flow rate marked on the original suction fitting.

7. DANGER RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK: Install at least 5 feet (1.5m) from all metal surfaces. As an alternative, a spa may

be installed within 5 feet (1.5m) of metal surfaces if each metal surface is permanently connected by a minimum 6

AWG (4.11 mm) solid copper conductor to the wire connector on the terminal box that is provided for this purpose.

8. DANGER RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK: Do not permit any electric appliance, such as light, telephone, radio, or television,

within 5 feet (1.5m) of a spa.

9. WARNING TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY:

a. 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 your

children and when spa use exceeds 10 minutes.

b. Since excessive water temperatures have high potential for fetal damage during the early months of

pregnancy, pregnant or possibly pregnant women should limit spa water temperatures to 100°F (38°C).

c. Before entering spa, the user should measure the water temperature with an accurate thermometer since

the tolerances of water temperature-regulating devices vary.
