20.Do not use an extension cord with the RENEW 207; this could damage the motor and will void the warranty.
21.DANGER—If you will be using the RENEW 207 outside, do not bury the power cord. Keep the power cord away from lawn mow- ers, hedge trimmers, and other similar equip- ment.
22.WARNING—The power cord is equipped with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI), located at the end of the power cord. The GFCI must be tested before each use. To test the GFCI, press the “test” button while the RENEW 207 is running. The spa should shut off. Press the “reset” button. The spa should resume normal operation. If the spa contin- ues to run after the “test” button is pressed, the GFCI is damaged. Do not use the spa until the GFCI has been repaired or replaced by a qualified electrician.
23.Keep all electrical appliances such as radios, telephones, televisions, and lights at least five feet (1.52 meters) away from the water.
24.A wire connector is provided on the electron- ics of the RENEW 207 to connect a minimum No. 8 AWG (804 mm2) solid copper conductor between the spa and any metal equipment, electrical enclosure made of metal, metal water pipes, or conduit within five feet (1.52m) of the spa.
25.DANGER—Risk of electric shock: Do not set up the RENEW 207 within five feet of any metal objects or surfaces. As an alternative, you may use the spa within five feet of metal objects if each metal object is permanently connected to the wire connector on the pump motor of the spa by a minimum No. 8 AWG (804 mm2) solid copper conductor (see instruction 24).
26.Do not operate the pump motor when the RENEW 207 is empty. The pump motor may be damaged if it is operated without water circulating.
27.DANGER—Risk of drowning: Exercise extreme caution to prevent unauthorized and unsupervised use of the RENEW 207 by chil- dren. Children must always be supervised.
28.DANGER—To reduce the risk of drowning:
•Never use the RENEW 207 alone;
•Children should not use the spa unless they are supervised by an adult;
•Keep pets away from the spa at all times;
•Always replace and lock the spa cover when the spa is not in use.
29.WARNING—To reduce the risk of injury: The water temperature should never exceed 104° F (40°C). Temperatures between 100° F (38°C) and 104° F (40°C) are considered to be safe for healthy adults. However, if you plan to remain in the RENEW 207 for more than 10 to 15 minutes, a lower temperature is recom- mended. Lower temperatures are also recom- mended for children. Children should not be allowed to swim under the surface in the spa.
30.WARNING—To reduce the risk of injury: Always use an accurate thermometer to determine the water temperature before using the RENEW 207.
31.WARNING—To reduce the risk of injury: Pregnant women should consult with their physician before using the RENEW 207. Pregnant women should not use the spa if the water temperature is above 100° F (38° C); the unborn child could be seriously harmed. This is especially important during the first 90 days of the pregnancy.
32.DANGER—To reduce the risk of drowning: Prolonged immersion in the RENEW 207 may cause hyperthermia, a dangerous condition which occurs when the internal body temper- ature rises several degrees above the normal body temperature of 98.6° F. The symptoms of hyperthermia are nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, and fainting. Effects include: a lack of awareness, inability to perceive heat or danger, and a greater risk of drowning due to a loss of consciousness. Special note: Individuals suffering from hyperthermia may be unable to realize that they must exit the spa, and they also may be physically unable to do so.
33.WARNING—To reduce the risk of drowning: Do not use the RENEW 207 if you are under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Heat from the water, in conjunction with alcohol or drugs can cause unconsciousness.
