IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
2. WARNING–To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product unless they are closely supervised at all times.
3. A wire connector is provided on this unit to connect a minimum No. 8 AWG (8.4mm2) 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.
4. DANGER–Risk of injury. (For cord-connected/convertible units)
a) Replace damaged cord immediately.
b) Do not bury cord.
c) Connect to a grounded, grounding type receptacle only.
5. WARNING–If this product is provided with a ground-fault circuit-interrupter on the end of the power cord, the GFCI must be tested
before each use. With the product operating, open the service door. If the product stops operating, this merely indicates that the
door is equipped with an electrical interlock. Next, push the test button on the GFCI and close the service door. The product
should not operate. Now open the service door, push the reset button on the GFCI and close the service door. The product
should now operate normally. If the product fails to operate in this manner, there is a ground current flowing indicating the
possibility of an electric shock. Disconnect the power until the fault has been identified and corrected.
6. 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 hot tub unless they are supervised at all times.
7. DANGER–Risk of Injury. The suction fittings in this hot tub 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 the hot tub if
the suction fittings are broken or missing. Never replace a suction fitting with one rated less than the flow rate marked on the
original fitting.
8. DANGER–Risk of Electric Shock. Install at least 5 feet (1.5 m) from all metal surfaces. As an alternative, a hot tub may be
installed within 5 feet of metal surfaces if each metal surface is permanently connected by a minimum No. 6 AWG solid copper
conductor to the wire connector on the terminal box that is provided for this purpose.
9. DANGER–Risk of Electric Shock. Do not permit any electric appliance, such as a light, telephone, radio, or television, within 5 feet
(1.5 m) of a hot tub.
10. WARNING–To reduce the risk of injury:
a) The water in a hot tub should never exceed 40°C (104°F). Water temperatures between 38°C (100°F) and 40° C (104°)
are considered safe for a healthy adult. Lower water temperatures are recommended for young children and when hot
tub use exceeds 10 minutes.
b) Since excessive water temperatures have a high potential for causing fetal damage during the early months of pregnancy,
pregnant or possibly pregnant women should limit hot tub water temperatures to 38° C (100° F).
c) Before entering a hot tub, the user should measure the water temperature with an accurate thermometer since the
tolerance of water temperature-regulating devices varies.
d) The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication before or during hot tub use may lead to unconsciousness with the possibility of
drowning.
e) Obese persons and persons with a history of heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory system problems, or
diabetes should consult a physician before using a hot tub.
f) Persons using medication should consult a physician before using a hot tub since some medication may induce
drowsiness while other medication may affect heart rate, blood pressure, and circulation.
