Sears 831.105021 user manual Up the hydrotherapy spa within five feet, Minimum No AWG 13.3 mm

2 ) solid copper

Do not use the spa until the GFCI has been repaired or replaced by a qualified electri- cian.

20.Keep all electrical appliances such as radios, telephones, televisions, and lights at least five feet (1.5 m) away from the water.

21.DANGER—Risk of electric shock: Do not set

up the hydrotherapy spa within five feet (1.5

m)of any metal objects or surfaces. As an alternative, you may use the spa within five feet (1.5 m) of metal objects if each metal object is permanently connected to the bond- ing LVG on the controller of this unit by a

minimum No. 6 AWG (13.3 mm

conductor. At least two lugs marked “BOND- ING LUGS” are provided on the external sur- face or on the inside of the supply terminal box or compartment. To reduce the risk of electric shock, connect the local common bonding grid in the area of the hot tub or spa to these terminals with an insulated or bare copper conductor not smaller than 6 AWG.

All field-installed metal components such as rails, ladders, drains, or other similar hard- ware within 3 m of the spa or hot tub shall be bonded to the equipment grounding bus with copper conductors not smaller than 6 AWG.

22.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.	The cut-off valves
must always be open	when using the spa
(see step 2 on page 8).

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

24.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 hydrotherapy spa is not in use.

25.WARNING—To reduce the risk of injury: The water temperature should never exceed

104°F (40°C). Water temperature in excess of 100°F (38°C) may be injurious to your health. If you plan to remain in the hydrotherapy spa for more than 10 to 15 minutes, lower the

temperature to 100°F (38°C) or below. Lower temperatures are also recommended for chil- dren. Children should not be allowed to swim under the surface of the water in the spa.

26.WARNING—To reduce the risk of injury: Always use an accurate thermometer to determine the water temperature before using the hydrotherapy spa.

27.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 (38°C); the unborn child could be seriously harmed.

This is especially important during the first 90 days of the pregnancy.

28.DANGER—To reduce the risk of drowning: Prolonged immersion in the hydrotherapy spa may cause hyperthermia, a dangerous condition which occurs when the internal body temperature rises several degrees above the normal body temperature of 98.6°F (37°C). The symptoms of hyperthermia are nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, and fainting. Effects include: a lack of awareness, inability to perceive heat or danger, and a greater risk of drowning due to a loss of consciousness. Special note: Individuals suffering from hyperthermia may be unable to realize that

they must exit the spa, and they also may be physically unable to do so.

29.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 unconsciousness.

30.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. Others

can effect blood pressure, heart rate, and cir- culation.

31.Do not use the hydrotherapy spa immediate-

ly after strenuous exercise.

32.WARNING—To avoid injury, exercise care when entering or exiting the spa.
