SAFETY INFORMATION

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY:

•The water in the spa 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 extended use (exceeding 10 minutes) and for young children. Extended use can cause hyperthermia.

•Pregnant or possibly pregnant women should limit spa water temperatures to 100°F (38°C). Failure to do so may result in permanent injury to your baby.

•Do not use spa immediately following strenuous exercise.

AVOIDING THE RISK OF SKIN BURNS:

•To reduce the risk of injury, before entering a spa the user should measure the water temperature with an accurate thermometer, since the tolerance of temperature-regulating devices may vary by as much as ±5°F (2°C).

•Test the water with your hand before entering the spa to be sure it’s comfortable.

SAFETY SIGN

Each Caldera® spa is shipped with a SAFETY SIGN in the owner’s package. The sign, which is required as a condition of Product Listing, should be permanently installed where it is visible to the users of the spa. To obtain additional SAFETY SIGNS, contact your Caldera dealer and request Part #003021.

IMPORTANT SPA INSTRUCTIONS

The following contains important spa information, and we strongly encourage you to read and apply them.

DO:

•Use and lock the vinyl cover when the spa is not in use, whether it is empty or full.

•Follow the Spa Care and Maintenance recommendations stated in this manual.

•Use only approved accessories and recommended spa chemicals and cleaners.

DON’T:

•Leave the spa exposed to the sun without water or the vinyl cover in place. Exposure to direct sunlight can cause solar distress of the shell material.

•Roll or slide the spa on its side. This will damage the siding.

•Lift or drag the cover by using the cover lock straps; always lift or carry the cover by using the handles.

•Attempt to open the electrical control box. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Opening of the control box by the spa owner will void the warranty. If you have an operational problem, carefully go through the steps outlined in the Troubleshooting section. If you are not able to resolve the problem, contact your authorized Caldera dealer. Many problems can easily be diagnosed over the telephone by an Authorized Service Technician.

INSTALLATION

SITE AND SELECTION PREPARATION

You probably have a spot picked out for your new spa, whether it’s indoors or outdoors, on a patio or on a deck. Just make sure you check the following:

•Always put your spa on a structurally sound, level surface. A filled spa can weigh a great deal. Make certain that the location you choose can support the weight of your filled spa.

•Don’t forget to level your spa before filling it (see the spa leveling preparation on the next page).

•Locate your equipment compartment, which houses all of the electrical components, in a place where water will drain away from it. Allowing water into the equipment compartment can damage the electronics, or may result in tripping your house’s circuit breaker.

•Leave yourself easy access to the Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) for testing. The GFCI is located at the end of the power cord, or at the subpanel of a hard-wired spa.

•Never let water get into the subpanel or into the electrical outlet that your spa is plugged into. Consult your local code authority to determine if an electrical outlet with a cover is required for your installation.

•Leave access to the equipment compartment for periodic spa care and maintenance.

WARNING: Damage to the spa’s equipment compartment components or internal plumbing as a result of rodent infestation is NOT covered under your warranty!

Highland Series specifications

The Caldera Highland Series is an exceptional line of outdoor gear designed specifically for adventurers who seek the perfect blend of performance, comfort, and durability. Crafted with a deep understanding of the challenges faced in various environments, this series stands out for its innovative technologies and user-centric features.

One of the hallmark characteristics of the Caldera Highland Series is its use of advanced waterproof yet breathable materials. The outer fabric is engineered with a cutting-edge membrane that effectively repels water, keeping the user dry in unexpected downpours. Furthermore, this membrane allows moisture from within to escape, ensuring that wearers remain comfortable during intense physical activity. This feature is invaluable for those trekking through diverse climates, providing both protection and breathability.

In addition to weather resistance, the Highland Series includes an innovative insulation technology. Utilizing lightweight yet efficient insulation means that users can stay warm without the bulk associated with traditional outerwear. This is particularly important for those who prioritize both warmth and mobility during outdoor excursions. Designed for layering, the Highland Series garments fit seamlessly with other layers, enhancing versatility for various conditions.

Another notable aspect of the Caldera Highland Series is its attention to detail in design. The garments boast articulated joints and ergonomic cuts, allowing for an unrestricted range of motion. This design philosophy is particularly beneficial for climbers, hikers, and skiers who need gear that moves with them rather than against them.

Additionally, the series embraces sustainability, incorporating recycled and eco-friendly materials into its production processes. By prioritizing responsible manufacturing practices, Caldera not only focuses on performance but also on environmental stewardship, appealing to the growing number of eco-conscious consumers.

Finally, the Highland Series is equipped with strategic pocket placements and functional features such as adjustable hoods and cuffs, ensuring practicality without sacrificing style. With a focus on performance-driven functionality, durable craftsmanship, and a commitment to sustainability, the Caldera Highland Series offers outdoor enthusiasts a premier choice for their adventures, no matter where the journey leads. Whether hiking rugged trails or navigating snowy slopes, this series equips you with the reliability and comfort needed to conquer the great outdoors.
