Important Safety Instructions

WARNING: To reduce the risk of drowning, electric shock, or serious injury, read the following important precautions before using the spa.

READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS

1.It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure that all users of the spa are adequately informed of all precautions.

2.Use the spa only as described in the manual.

3.The spa is intended for home use only. Do

not use the spa in any commercial, rental or institutional setting.

4.Use the spa only on a level surface. Do not use the spa on carpet or other materials that could be damaged by moisture. Do not use the spa on rough or sharp surfaces such as gravel or wood chips.

5.The spa will weigh approximately 2,339 pounds when it is assembled and filled with water. Be sure that the location you select for the spa will support this weight, plus the weight of the occupants.

6.Inspect and tighten all parts regularly. Replace any worn parts immediately.

7.DANGER—Risk of injury: Do not remove or alter the covers on the suction fittings. Never operate the spa if the suction guard is miss-

ing or broken. Keep hair and body away from the suction guard. If you need to replace a suction fitting, be sure that the flow rate of the replacement is compatible.

8.Do not bring any object into the spa that could puncture the liner.

9.Never insert any object into any opening.

10.Do not sit on the spa cover or place objects

on it; it is not designed to support weight.

11.Remove any water that may collect on the spa cover.

12.Keep children and pets away from the spa when it is not in use.

13.Keep all chemicals away from children and pets.

14.The pH and chemical balance of the water must be maintained as explained in this man- ual (see page 13). Failure to do so may cause injury to users or damage to the spa jet unit, and will void the warranty.

15.The water pump in the spa jet unit must be primed before you use the spa the first time. You must also prime the pump before using

the unit each time you refill the spa or clean the filter. The spa jet unit may be seriously damaged if the pump is not properly primed

(see PRIMING THE SPA JET UNIT on page 10).

16.DANGER—When connecting the power cord

(see PLUGGING IN THE SPA on page 10), plug the power cord directly into a grounded circuit capable of carrying 15 or more amps. No other appliance should be on the same circuit. Replace the power cord immediately if damaged.

17.Do not use an extension cord with the spa. This could damage the motor and the electri- cal system and it will void the warranty.

18.DANGER—If you will be using the spa out- side, do not bury the power cord; you should also keep the power cord away from lawn mowers, hedge trimmers, and other similar equipment.

19.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 spa jet unit is running. The spa jet unit should shut off. Press the “reset” button. The spa jet unit should resume normal oper- ation. If the spa jet unit continues to run after the “test” button is pressed, then the GFCI is damaged. Do not use the spa until the GFCI
