INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO A RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS.

READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS

1. DANGER: To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this unit unless they are closely supervised at all times.

2. Use this unit only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use attachments not recommended by the

manufacturer.

3. Never drop or insert any object into any opening.

4. Do not operate this unit without the cover over the suction ﬁtting.

5. The unit must be connected only to a dedicated electrical supply circuit that is protected by a Ground Fault Circuit

Interrupter (GFCI). The GFCI must be provided by the installer and should be tested on a routine basis by the homeowner.

To test the GFCI push the test button. The GFCI should interrupt power. Push the RESET button. Power should be restored.

If the GFCI fails to operate in this manner there is a ground current ﬂowing, indicating the possibility of an electric shock.

Do not use the tub. Disconnect the power and have the problem corrected by a qualiﬁed service representative. Re-test

the GFCI, only when it is operating properly may the whirlpool tub be used.

6. A green colored terminal marked “Ground” is provided on the exterior of the control box. To reduce the risk of electric

shock, connect this terminal to the grounding terminal of your electrical service or supply panel with a conductor equivalent

in size to the circuit conductors supplying this equipment.
