READ BEFORE INSTALLATION AND/OR USE – IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO A RISK OF FIRE
1.Read and follow all instructions
2.DANGER: To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this unit unless they are closely supervised at all times.
3.Infants should not be permitted in the whirlpool at water temperatures over 100˚ Fahrenheit and only with prior medical consultation and permission from your doctor.
4.Pregnant women and persons suffering from heart disease, diabetes, or high or low blood pressure should not enter the whirlpool tub without prior medical consultation and permission from their doctor.
5. For your first whirlpool bath, start with a short duration of five minutes. You can increase the time intervals as your body's tolerance adjusts. However, do not use longer than 15 minutes at any one time.
6.High water temperatures and prolonged periods of use can raise internal human body temperature excessively and impair the body's ability to regulate its internal temperature.
7.Check whirlpool before use. Maximum safe temperature is 104˚ Fahrenheit (40˚ Celsius).
8.Observe reasonable time limits to avoid nausea, dizziness, and fainting.
9.Do not direct the water spray to the following body areas in these instances:
A.Any area of the body that is swollen, burned, inflamed or where skin eruptions or ulcerated sores are present.
B.Any area of the body that is sore unless approved by your doctor.
C.The abdomen when pain is present.
D.Legs with varicose veins.
E.Calves of legs with unexplained pain.
10.Keep body, hair, and clothing a maximum of 12 inches away from the suction fitting at all times when whirlpool is operating. Do not operate the unit without the guard over the suction fitting.
11.Do not use whirlpool while under the influence of alcohol or narcotics.
12.Enter and exit tub slowly.
13.Do not use electrically connected devices such as televisions, radios, stereo speakers, lights, cooking devices, hair dryers, telephones, or other electrical appliances within five feet of the whirlpool tub.
14.Use this unit only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer.
15.Never drop or insert any object into any opening.
16.Keep all breakable objects out of area.
17.All electrical supply circuits providing the electrical power source to be connected to the whirlpool bath should be checked, installed, and inspected by a licensed electrician and inspected by the Building Code Authority having jurisdiction at the installation location upon installation and prior to use of the whirlpool bath.
18.The unit must be connected only to a supply circuit that is protected by a ground-fault circuit-interruptor (GFCI). Such a GFCI should be provided by the installer and should be tested on a routine basis. If GFCI fails to operate properly there may be a ground current flowing, indicating the possibility of an electric shock. Do not use this unit. Disconnect the unit and have the problem corrected by a qualified service representative before using.
19.A green colored terminal is provided within the terminal compartment. To reduce the risk of shock, connect this terminal to the grounding terminal of your electric service or supply panel with a continuous green insulated copper wire equivalent in size to the circuit conductors supplying this equipment, but no smaller than No. 12 AWG (3.3mm).
20.SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
TROUBLE SHOOTING PUMP/MOTOR
MOTOR WON'T START
1.Check to see if on/off switch or pneumatic switch is in "on" mode.
2.Check for loose connections, blown circuit breakers, GFI or fuses.
3.With the power off at the circuit breaker, check manually to see that the motor shaft has free movement and lacks obstruction.
MOTOR CUTS OUT/STOPS
1.Turn GFI breaker off. Check for loose wiring/connections.
2.Check for low voltage at the motor (frequently caused by undersized wire).
NOTE: Pumps equipped with automatic reset overload protectors and solid state electronics and switches aredesigned to eliminate failures caused by mechanical switches and governors.
MOTOR HUMS BUT DOES NOT START
1.Turn GFI breaker off. Check for binding of the motor shaft or obstruction in pump. Manually rotate motor shaft to see that shaft turns freely.
2.Check for low voltage and undersized gauge of wire.
PUMP WON'T PUMP
1.Open air control valve to release any possible air lock.
2.Make sure all suction and discharge lines and return port are clear and unobstructed.
3.Check to see that water is at high enough level for pump to prime.
4.Check for air leak in the suction line - slightly loosen pump union connector and then re-tighten (by hand).
5.Check for obstructions in the piping system.
LOW FLOW
1.Turn GFI breaker off. Check for any obstructions in pump that impede impeller.
2.Check for low voltage - undersized gauge of wire.
3.Check suction line for obstructions and/or air leaks.
4.Check for obstruction in discharge line.
NOISY PUMP
1.Check for air leak in suction line which can cause “rumbling” sound.
2.Check for “cavitation” caused by an obstructed or under sized suction line.
WATER LEAK
1.Turn GFI breaker off. Check union connectors:
a)Be sure they are tight - hand tighten only.
b)Inspect O-ring to be sure it is properly seated and not damaged.
2.Turn GFI breaker off.
Water between pump housing and motor:
a)Check the rotary seal to be sure it is clean and without contamination on surface.
b)Check seal to see if it is worn or damaged - replace seal if necessary.
