DANGER: RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK

•Install at least 5 feet (1.5 m) from all metal surfaces. A spa may be installed within 5 feet of a metal surface if each metal surface is permanently connected by a minimum No. 10 AWG (6mm2) solid copper conductor attached to the wire ground connector on the terminal box that is provided for this purpose if in accordance with National Electrical Code ANSI/NMFPA70-1993.

•Do not permit any electrical appliances, such as a light, telephone, radio, or television within 5 feet (1.5 m) of a spa. Failure to maintain a safe distance may result in death or serious personal injury due to electrocution if the appliance should fall into the spa.

DO:

•Be sure your spa is connected to the power supply correctly - use a licensed contractor.

•Disconnect the spa from the power supply before draining the spa or servicing the electrical components.

•Test the Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter(s) before each use.

DONÕT:

•Use the spa with the equipment compartment door removed.

•Place electrical appliances within 5 feet (1.5m) of the spa.

•Use an extension cord to connect the spa to its power source. The cord may not be properly grounded and the connection is a shock hazard. An extension cord may cause a voltage drop, which will cause overheating of the jet pump motor and motor damage.

•Attempt to open the electrical control box. There are no user serviceable parts inside.

RISKS TO AVOID

DANGER: RISK OF INJURY

•To reduce the risk of injury to persons, DO NOT remove suction fittings (filter standpipes) located in the filter compartment.

•The suction fittings in the 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.

•There is a danger of slipping and falling. Remember that wet surfaces can be very slippery. Take care when entering or exiting the spa.

•People with infectious diseases should not use the spa.

•Keep any loose articles of clothing, long hair or hanging jewelry away from rotating jets or other moving components.

Increased side effects of medication

•The use of drugs, alcohol, or medication before or during spa use may lead to unconsciousness with the possibility of drowning.

•Persons using medications should consult a physician before using a spa; some medication may cause a user to become drowsy, while other medication may affect heart rate, blood pressure, and circulation.

•Persons taking medications that induce drowsiness, such as tranquilizers, antihistamines, or anticoagulants should not use the spa.

Health problems affected by spa use

•Pregnant women should consult a physician before using spa.

•Persons suffering from obesity or with a medical history of heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory system problems, or diabetes should consult a physician before using spa.

Unclean water

• Keep the water clean and sanitized with correct chemical care. The recommended levels for your Hot Spot® Spa are:

Free Available Chlorine (FAC):

3.0-5.0 ppm

Total Alkalinity:

125-150 ppm

Water pH:

7.4-7.6

Calcium Hardness:

150-200 ppm

(Refer to Water Quality and Maintenance section for complete instructions.)

IMPORTANT: Turn on the jet pump for a least ten minutes after adding ANY spa water chemicals into the filter compartment.

•Clean the filter cartridge monthly to remove debris and mineral buildup which may affect the performance of the hydromassage jets, limit the flow, or trip the high limit thermostat which will turn off the entire spa.

AVOIDING THE RISK OF HYPERTHERMIA

Prolonged immersion in hot water can result in HYPERTHERMIA, a dangerous condition which occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a level above normal (98.6°F or 37°C). The symptoms of hyperthermia include unawareness of impending hazard, failure to perceive heat, failure to recognize the need to exit the spa, physical inability to exit the spa, fetal damage in pregnant women, and unconsciousness resulting in a danger of drowning.

WARNING:

The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia in hot tubs and spas.
