IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

ATTENTION INSTALLER: INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC

SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS

READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: When using this unit, always follow basic precautions, including the following:

WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK.

The unit must be connected only to a circuit that is protected by a Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter (GFCI). Such a GFCI should be provided by the installer and should be tested on a routine basis. To test the GFCI, press the test button. The GFCI should interrupt power. Press the reset button. Power should be restored. If the GFCI fails to operate in this manner, there is a ground current flowing or the GFCI is defective.

The possibility of an electric shock may exist. DO NOT use this unit. Disconnect the unit and have the problem corrected by a qualified licensed electrician.

Grounding is required. The unit should be installed and grounded by a qualified service representative.

A pressure wire connector is provided on the pump to permit connection of a solid copper bonding conductor between this unit and all other electrical equipment and exposed metal in the vicinity, as needed to comply with local requirements.

DANGER: RISK OF INJURY.

Hot whirlpool baths can put certain stresses on the body, as do any hot bath, shower, sauna, or steam bath.

Prolonged immersions in hot water may induce hyperthermia. Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a level several degrees above the normal body temperature of 98.6° F. The symptoms of hyperthermia include an increase in the internal body temperature, dizziness, lethargy, drowsiness, and fainting. The effects of hyperthermia include: (1) failure to perceive heat, (2) failure to recognize the need to exit the bath, (3) unawareness of impending hazard, (4) fetal damage in pregnant women,

(5)physical inability to exit the bath, and (6) unconsciousness resulting in the danger of drowning. Warning: The use of alcohol, drugs, or other medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia.

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

DO NOT operate this unit without the guard on the suction fitting.

Never drop or insert any object into any opening.

Use this unit only for its intended use as denoted in this manual. DO NOT use attachments not recommended by the Kohler Co.

Install to permit access for servicing.
