IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS

Warning — Risk of injury: Children, the elderly, and the infirm should not use the spa unless they are supervised at all times. Infants should not be permitted in the spa at water temperatures over 100°F (38°C).

Spa water temperatures in excess of 104° F is not recommended. High water temperatures in excess of 104°F (40° C) and prolonged periods of use can raise internal human body temperature excessively and impair the body’s ability to regulate its internal temperature.

Pregnant women and people with heart circulatory condi- tions, or diabetes, should consult their physicians before using the spa at water temperatures over 100°F (38°C).

Limit your initial use of the spa to 10 - 15 minutes. High body temperatures affect people differently; consult your physician about your safety and comfort before using the spa. If

your spa product does not have a thermometer, we

recommend that you use a medical (clinical) type thermometer for an accurate measurement of spa water temperatures. Other types of thermometers, generally available, such as those used for swimming pools are not sufficiently accurate to determine spa water temperatures.

Extra care should be taken when using the spa and consuming alcoholic beverages. Alcohol, drugs, or certain medications, such as tranquilizers, affect a person’s ability to withstand high temperatures and may produce dangerous effects, including drowning. Persons using medication should consult with a physician before using a spa.

Danger -— Risk of injury: Do not remove the suction grille! It is a safety device and must always be in place on the suction fitting to minimize the potential hazard of hair entanglement or body entrapment.

Keep body, hair, and clothing a minimum of 12 inches away from suction fitting and skimmers at all times when the spa is operating. Hair longer than shoulder length should be secured close to the head, or a bathing cap should be worn.

Do not operate the spa if the suction cover is broken or missing. Contact your Dealer for replacement cover if broken

or missing.

The wet surface of the spa is slippery. Use care when entering and exiting.

DANGER — Risk of child drowning: Do not permit children to use this product unless they are closely supervised. The use of a locked cover is highly recommended to prevent unattended access.

DANGER — RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK: When install- ing and operating this electrical equipment, basic safety pre- cautions should always be adhered to including the following. Warning: A wire connector is provided at the electrical cabinet on this spa to connect a minimum No. 8 AWG (8.4 MM2) solid copper conductor between this spa and any metal equipment, metal enclosures of electrical equipment, metal water pipe, or conduit within 5 feet (1.5 m) of the spa.

Do not use electrically connected devices such as televi- sion, radio, or stereo speakers, lights, cooking devices, or telephones within 5 feet (1.5 m) of the spa while the spa is being used. Lighting fixtures must not be located directly above or within 5 feet (1.5 m) of the spa. If located within 10 feet (3.0 m) of the spa, they must be on a circuit protected by a GFCI (Ground Fault Interrupter Circuit).

All fixed metal objects located within 5 feet of the spa, such as fence posts, railings, door frames, greenhouse struc- tures, gutters, etc., must be attached to the bonding bar on the outside of the spa electrical cabinet using #8 solid copper wire.

With #8 solid copper wire, bond the spa to the house electrical panel or approved local bond.

The spa must be installed with adequate access and water drainage system, refer to Installation Instructions, to drain water away from electrical components.

CAUTION: Do not turn power ON to the spa unless it is filled with water to the normal water level, which is to the water level indicator mark on the skimmer frame. Activating the spa when there is an insufficient amount of water can damage the circulation pump and may cause a fire.

If your spa is installed in a 230VAC circuit:

DANGER — RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK

Your spa must be equipped with a GFCI at the Main Electrical Panel. At initial startup and before each use thereafter with power ON, push the GFCI test button. The reset button should pop out. Push this button in to reset. If the interrupter fails to operate in this manner, there is a ground current flowing or a device malfunctioning, indicating the possibility of electrical shock. Turn off power and do not use the spa until the source of the breakdown has been identified and corrected.

20 AMP RECEPTACLE

GFCI

If your spa is installed in a 115VAC, 20 AMP circuit:

1.The spa is supplied with a 15 foot line cord which terminates with an integral GFCI plug. Locate the spa near enough to a weather protected outlet, but no closer than 10 feet. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD! Using an extension cord is hazardous and will decrease the amount of power to the unit, causing slow heating, poor whirlpool perfor- mance, or system malfunction.

2.Replace damaged line cord immediately. Do not bury line cord. Connect to a grounded, grounding type receptacle only.

3.Bring the line cord out from under the skirt. Remove skirt screws as required to gain access. Make sure the line cord does not lie across a walkway or in a heavily traveled area where it may be a safety hazard or become damaged.

4.At initial startup and before each use thereafter with power ON, push the GFCI test button. The reset button should pop out. Push this button in to reset. If the interrupter fails to operate in this manner, there is a ground current flowing or a device malfunctioning, indicating the possibility of electrical shock. Turn off power and do not use the spa until the source of the breakdown has been identified and cor- rected.
