IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO A RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK,
OR INJURY TO PERSONS
WARNING:
When using this unit, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:
1.
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
2. DANGER—To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this unit unless they are
closely supervised at all times.
3. Use this unit only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use attachments not
recommended by the manufacturer.
4. Never drop or insert any object into any opening.
5. Do not operate this unit without the guard over the suction tting.
6. The unit must be connected only to a supply circuit that is protected by a ground-fault circuit-
interrupter (GFCI). Such a GFCI should be provided by the installer and should interrupt power.
Push the reset button. Power should be restored. If the GFCI fails to operate in this manner, the
GFCI is defective. If the GFCI interrupts power to the bathtub without the test button being pushed,
a ground current is owing, indicating the possibility of an electric shock. Do not use this Hydro
Massage bathtub. Disconnect the bathtub and have the problem corrected by a qualied service
representative before using.
7. (For permanently connected units) A green-colored terminal (or wire connector marked ‘G’, ‘GR’,
‘Ground’, or ‘Grounding’) is provided within the terminal compartment. To reduce the risk of electric
shock, connect this terminal or connector to the grounding terminal of your electric service or supply
panel with a conductor equivalent in size to the circuit connectors supplying this equipment.
8. A thermostatic mixing valve is required. Section 414.5 of the 2009 Uniform Plumbing
Codes require that the maximum hot water temperature discharging from the bathtub and/or
whirlpool bathtub ller shall be limited to 120ºF (49ºC) by a device that conforms to ASSE 1070
or CSAB125.3. The water heater thermostat shall not be considered a control for meeting this
provision.
9.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING…Prolonged immersion in hot water may induce extremely high body temperature
(hyperthermia). Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a level several
degrees above the normal body temperature of 98.6º F. The symptoms of hyperthermia include an
increase in the internal temperature of the body, dizziness, lethargy, drowsiness and fainting. The
effects of Hyperthermia include:
1. Failure to perceive heat
2. Failure to recognize the need to exit the tub
3. Unawareness of impending hazard
4. Fetal damage in pregnant women
5. Physical inability to exit the tub, and
6. Unconsciousness resulting in the danger of drowning
WARNING: The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal
hyperthermia.
