3.0 Important Safety Instructions
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY!
When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precau-
tions should always be followed, including:
1. WARNINg: To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use
this product unless they are closely supervised at all times.
2. WARNINg: A grounding wire connector is provided on this unit to
connect a minimum No. 8 AWG (8.4mm2) solid copper conduc-
tor between this unit and any metal equipment, metal enclosures
of electrical equipment, metal water pipe, or conduit within 5 feet
(1.5m) of the unit.
3. DANgER: Risk of Accidental Drowning. Extreme caution must be
exercised to prevent unauthorized access by children. To avoid
accidents, ensure that children cannot use this spa unless they are
supervised at all times.
4. DANgER: Risk of Injury. The suction fittings in this spa are sized to
match the specific water flow created by the pump. Should the need
arise to replace the suction fittings or the pump, be sure that the
flow rates are compatible. Never operate the spa if the suction fit-
tings are broken or missing. Never replace a suction fitting with one
rated less than the flow rate marked on the original suction fitting.
5. DANgER: Risk of Electric Shock. Install at least 5 feet (1.5m) from
all metal surfaces. As an alternative, a spa may be installed within
5 feet (1.5m) of metal surfaces if each metal surface is permanently
connected (bonded) by a minimum No. 8 AWG (8.4mm2) solid cop-
per conductor attached to the wire connector on the grounding lug,
inside the equipment compartment on the equipment box.
6. DANgER: Risk of Electric Shock. Do not permit any electrical appli-
ance, such as a light, telephone, radio, television, etc. within 5 feet
(1.5m) of a spa, unless such appliances are built-in by the manufac-
turer.
7. ELECTRICAL SUppLY: The electrical supply for this product
must include a suitably rated switch or circuit breaker to open all
ungrounded supply conductors to comply with section 422-20 of the
