When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
1)READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
2)WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product unless they are closely supervised at all times. Keep Spa cover locked when not in use.
3)A wire connector is provided on 220 V units to connect a minimum No. 8 AWG
(8.4 mm2) solid copper conductor between this unit and any metal equipment, metal water pipe, or conduit within 5ft. (1.5 m) of the unit.
4)110 V cord connected spas are provided with a GFCI on the end of cord. The
GFCI must be tested before each use. With the spa operating push the test button. Spa will shut off, next push the reset button on the GFCI. The product should now operate normally. If the product fails to operate there is a ground current flowing indicating the possibility of an electrical shock. Disconnect the power until the fault has been identified and corrected.
5)DANGER Risk of injury. The suction fittings in this spa are sized to match the specific water flow created by 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 that the flow rate marked on the original suction fitting.
6)DANGER Risk of electrical shock. Install at least 5 feet (1.5m) 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 No. 8 AWG (8.4mm2) solid copper conductor to the wire connector on the terminal box that is provided for this purpose.
7)DANGER Risk of electrical shock. Do not permit any electrical appliance, such as light, telephone, radio or television within 5ft. (1.5m) of spa.
8)WARNING To reduce the risk of injury:
The water temperature in a spa should never exceed 104
F.
A water temperature of 104
F is considered safe for a healthy adult. Lower water temperatures are recommended for young children and when spa use exceeds 10 minutes.
Since excessive water temperatures have a high potential for causing fetal injury during the early months of pregnancy, pregnant or possibly pregnant women should limit spa water temperature to 100
F.
Before entering a spa, the user should measure the water temperature with an accurate thermometer since the tolerance of water temperature - regulating devices varies.
The use of alcohol, drugs, or medications before or during spa use may lead to unconsciousness with the possibility of drowning.
