IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
The following basic safety precautions should always be followed when you are installing, or are using, this equipment:
•Safeguard All Children At All Times. Never permit children to use this Aquatic Fitness System without adult supervision. Always ensure that there is a responsible adult who is competent in the operation of the Aquatic Fitness System accompanying any child who may use this Aquatic Fitness System. Always ensure that children are closely supervised at all times in the vicinity of the Aquatic Fitness System.
•Risk of Accidental Drowning. Extreme caution must be exercised to prevent unauthorized access by children. To avoid accidents, ensure that children cannot use this Aquatic Fitness System unless they are supervised at all times.
•Risk of Serious Injury or Death. To prevent hair or body entrapment, never operate or use the Aquatic Fitness System if any of the suction fittings is broken or missing. The suction fittings of this Aquatic Fitness System are sized to match the specific water flow created by the circulation and jet pumps. Never replace a suction fitting with one rated less than the flow rate marked on the original suction fitting. Should the need arise to replace any suction fittings or the pump(s), be sure that any work if performed by an authorized Aquatic Fitness System service agent and that flow rates are compatible.
•Danger: A wire connector marked “Ground” is provided within the power box. To reduce the risk of electric shock, connect this terminal of connector to the grounding terminal of your electrical service or supply panel with a continuous green insulating copper wire
equivalent in size to the circuit conductors supplying this equipment, but no smaller than No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm2). In addition, a second wire connector is provided for bonding to local
ground points. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this connector should be bonded with a No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm2) copper wire to any metal ladders, water pipes, or other metal within five feet (1.52 m) of the spa.
•Risk of Electric Shock. Install at least 5 FEET (1.5m) from all metal surfaces. As an alternative, an Aquatic Fitness System may be installed within 5 feet (1.5m) of metal surfaces if each metal surface is permanently connected by a minimum No. 8 AWG (8.4mm²) solid copper conductor attached to the wire connector on the grounding lug, inside the equipment compartment on the equipment can.
•Risk of Electric Shock. Do not permit any electrical appliance, such as a light, telephone, radio, television, etc., within 5 feet (1.5m) of the Aquatic Fitness System.
•To Reduce the Risk of Injury. The water in an Aquatic Fitness System should never exceed 104°F (≅40°C). Water temperatures between 100°F (≅38°C) and 104°F (≅40°C) are considered safe for a healthy adult. Lower water temperatures are recommended when using the Aquatic Fitness System for exercise, swimming, when total use will exceed 10 minutes, or anytime young children are present in the Aquatic Fitness System.
•To Reduce the Risk of Injury. Excessive water temperatures have a high potential for causing fetal damage during the early months of pregnancy. Pregnant or possibly pregnant women should limit spa water temperatures to 100°F (≅38°C). It is recommended that a physician be consulted before using an Aquatic Fitness System if you are or possibly could be pregnant.
•To Reduce the Risk of Injury. Before entering an Aquatic Fitness System the user should measure the water temperature with an accurate thermometer since the tolerance of water
•To Reduce the Risk of Injury. The use of alcohol, drugs or medication before or during Aquatic Fitness System use may lead to unconsciousness with the possibility of drowning.
