20.DANGER—Risk of electric shock. Keep all electrical appliances such as radios, tele- phones, televisions, and lights at least five feet away from the water.

21.A wire connector is provided on the electron- ics pack of the hydrotherapy spa to connect a minimum No. 6 AWG (13.3 mm2) solid copper conductor between the spa and any metal equipment, electrical enclosure made of metal, metal water pipes, or conduit within five feet of the spa.

22.DANGER—Risk of electric shock: Do not set the hydrotherapy spa within five feet of any metal objects or surfaces. As an alternative, you may use the spa within five feet of metal objects if each metal object is permanently connected to the wire connector on the elec- tronics pack of the spa by a minimum No. 6 AWG (13.3 mm2) solid copper conductor (see instruction 21).

23.Do not operate the pump motor when the hydrotherapy spa is empty. The pump motor may be seriously damaged if it is operated without water circulating.

24.DANGER—Risk of drowning: Exercise extreme caution to prevent unauthorized and unsupervised use of the hydrotherapy spa by children. Children must always be supervised.

25.DANGER—To reduce the risk of drowning:

Never use the hydrotherapy spa alone.

Children should not use the spa unless they are supervised by an adult.

Keep pets away from the spa at all times.

Always replace and lock the spa cover when the spa is not in use.

26.WARNING—To reduce the risk of injury: The water temperature should never exceed 104°F. Temperatures between 100°F and 104°F are considered to be safe for healthy adults. However, if you plan to remain in the hydro- therapy spa for more than 10 to 15 minutes, a lower temperature is recommended. Lower temperatures are also recommended for chil- dren. Children should not be allowed to swim under the surface of the water in the spa.

27.WARNING—To reduce the risk of injury: Before entering the hydrotherapy spa, always use an accurate thermometer to determine the water temperature.

28.WARNING—To reduce the risk of injury: Pregnant women should consult with their

physician before using the hydrotherapy spa. Pregnant women should not use the spa if the water temperature is above 100°F; the unborn child could be seriously harmed. This is especially important during the first 90 days of the pregnancy.

29.DANGER—To reduce the risk of drowning: Prolonged immersion in the hydrotherapy spa may cause hyperthermia. The causes, symp- toms and effects of hyperthermia may be described as follows: Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a level several degrees above the normal body temperature of 98.6°F. The symp- toms of hyperthermia include an increase in the internal temperature of the body, dizzi- ness, lethargy, drowsiness and fainting. The effects of hyperthermia include failure to per- ceive heat; failure to recognize the need to exit the spa or hot tub; unawareness of impending hazard; fetal damage in pregnant women; physical inability to exit the spa or hot tub and unconsciousness resulting in danger of drowning. WARNING: The use of alcohol, drugs or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia.

30.WARNING—To reduce the risk of drowning: Do not use the hydrotherapy spa if you are under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Heat from the water, in conjunction with alcohol or drugs, can cause loss of consciousness.

31.WARNING—To reduce the risk of injury or drowning: Consult your physician about pos- sible side-effects of any medications you may be taking before using the hydrotherapy spa. Heat from the water, in conjunction with some medications, may cause drowsiness and increase the risk of drowning. Other medica- tions can effect blood pressure, heart rate, and circulation.

32.Do not use the hydrotherapy spa immediately after strenuous exercise.

33.If you feel pain or dizziness at any time while using the hydrotherapy spa, discontinue use and contact a physician.

34.WARNING—To reduce the risk of injury: It is especially important for persons over the age of 35 or persons with pre-existing health problems, such as obesity, heart disease, high or low blood pressure, circulatory prob- lems, or diabetes to consult their physician before using the hydrotherapy spa.
