use. This will help discourage unsupervised children from entering the
spa. Keep the spa cover secure in high-wind conditions.
There is no representation that the cover, clip tie-downs, or actual locks •
will prevent access to the spa.
2. ! dANGER: RISK OF SEvERE INjURY OR dROWNING!
Keep hair, loose articles of clothing or hanging jewelry away from suction •
ttings, rotating jets or other moving components to avoid entrapment
that could lead to drowning or severe injury.
Never use the spa unless all suction guards, lter, lter lid, or skimmer •
assembly are installed to prevent body and/or hair entrapment.
Never operate or use the spa if the lter, lter lid, or skimmer assembly •
are broken or any part of the skimmer assembly is missing. Please
contact your dealer or nearest service center for service.
The suction ttings and suction covers in this spa are sized to match the •
specic water ow created by the pump(s). If it is necessary to replace
the suction ttings, suction covers or pump(s), be sure that the ow rates
are compatible and are in compliance with the VGB Safety Act.
Never replace a suction tting or suction cover with one rated less than •
the ow rate marked on the original suction tting. Using improper suction
ttings or suction covers can create a body or hair suction entrapment
hazard that may lead to drowning or severe injury.
