IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
When using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
•DANGER: Risk of Accidental Drowning. Extreme caution must be exercised to prevent unauthorized access by children. To avoid accidents, ensure that children cannot use this spa unless they are supervised at all times.
•DANGER: Risk of Serious Injury or Death. 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 that the flow rates are compatible.
Never operate the spa if the suction fittings are broken or missing. Never replace a suction fitting with one rated less than the flow rate marked on the original suction fitting.
•DANGER: Risk of Electric Shock. Install at least 1.5 meters (5 feet), from all metal surfaces.
As an alternative, a spa may be installed within 5 feet of metal surfaces if each metal surface is permanently connected by a minimum 8.4 mm2 (No. 8 AWG) solid copper conductor attached to the wire connector on the grounding lug, inside the equipment compartment on the equipment can.
•DANGER: Risk of Electric Shock. Do not permit any electrical appliance, such as a light, telephone, radio, television, etc. within 1.5 meters (5 feet) of a spa.
•DANGER: The electrical supply for this spa must include a suitably rated switch or circuit breaker to open all ungrounded supply conductors to comply with local or national wiring requirements. The disconnect must be readily accessible and visible to the spa occupant but installed at least 1.5 meters (5 feet), from the spa water.
•DANGER: A grounding wire connector is provided on this spa to connect a minimum 8.4 mm2 (No. 8 AWG) solid copper conductor between this unit and any metal equipment, metal enclosures of electrical equipment, metal water pipe, or conduit within 1.5 meters (5 feet) of the spa.
•WARNING: To Reduce the Risk of Injury: The water in a spa should never exceed 40° C (104°F). Water temperatures between 38° C (100° F) and 40° C (104° F) are considered safe for a healthy adult. Lower water temperatures are recommended for young children and when spa use exceeds 10 minutes.
•WARNING: To Reduce the Risk of Injury: Since 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 38° C (100° F).
