WARNING:
To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product unless they are closely supervised at all times.
DANGER
Do not allow children to be in or around a spa unless a responsible adult supervises them. Keep the spa cover on and locked when not in use. See instructions enclosed with your cover for locking procedures.
DANGER
The suction fittings in this spa 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 the flow rates are compatible.
Never operate the spa if the suction fitting or filter baskets are broken or missing. Never replace a suc- tion fitting with one that is rated less than the flow rate marked on the original suction fitting.
This First!
DANGER
Install the spa at least 5 feet (1.5 meters) from all metal surfaces. As an alternative, a spa may be in- stalled within 5 feet of metal surfaces if each metal surface is permanently bonded by a minimum #8 AWG solid copper conductor to the outside of the spa’s control box.
WARNING
The spa water 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 for young children and when spa use exceeds 10 min- utes.
High water temperatures have a high potential for causing fetal damage during pregnancy. Women who are pregnant, or who think they are pregnant, should always check with their physician prior to spa usage.
HYPERTHERMIA DANGER:
Prolonged exposure to hot air or water can induce hyperthermia. Hyperthermia occurs when the inter- nal temperature of the body reaches a level 3˚F to 6˚F above the normal body temperature of 98.6˚F (or 2˚C to 4˚C above 37˚C). While hyperthermia has many health benefits, it is important not to allow your body’s core temperature to rise above 103˚F (39.5˚C).
Symptoms of excessive hyperthermia include dizzi- ness, lethargy, drowsiness and fainting. The effects of excessive hyperthermia may include:

Persons suffering from obesity, a medical history of heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory system problems or diabetes should consult a physi- cian before using the spa.
Persons using medications should consult a physician before using the spa since some medications may induce drowsiness while others may affect heart rate, blood pressure and circulation.

WARNING: The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia.
