Important Safety Instructions:
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions
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 solid
copper conductor (USA) No. 6 AWG stranded (Canada) 8.4mm (Europe) between this unit and any metal
equipment, metal enclosures of electrical equipment, metal water pipe, or conduit within 5 feet (1.5 m) 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 hot tub unless they are
supervised at all times. Use the hot tub straps, cover safety and clip tie downs to secure the cover when
not in use. This will help to discourage unsupervised children from entering the hot tub. There is no
representation that the cover, clip tie downs, or actual locks will prevent access to the hot tub.
4)
DANGER:
Risk of Injury. The suction fittings in this hot tub 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 hot tub if the suction fittings are broken or missing.
Consult your local dealer for assistance in choosing an appropriate replacement
suction fitting.
5)
DANGER:
Risk of Electric Shock. Install at least 5 feet (1.5 m), from all metal surfaces.
As an alternative, a hot tub may be installed within 5 feet (1.5 m) of metal surfaces if each
metal surface is permanently connected (bonded) by a minimum No. 8 AWG solid copper
conductor (US) No. 6 AWG stranded (Canada) 8.4 mm (Europe) attached to the wire
connector on the equipotential bonding bar which is located on the side of the spa control
pack.
6) DANGER:
Risk of Electric Shock. Do not permit any electrical appliance, such as
a light, telephone, radio, television, etc. within 5 feet (1.5 m) of a hot tub. All controls or
devices accessible from the spa must be powered by a maximum of 12vdc. Do not permit
any electrical appliances powered by 12 vdc or more within 1.5 m of the hot tub.
7)
ELECTRICAL SUPPLY:
The electrical supply for this product must include a suitable
circuit breaker GFCI (north America) RCD (Europe) to open all ungrounded supply
conductors.
The disconnect must be readily accessible and visible to the hot tub occupant
but installed at least 5 feet (1.5 m), from the hot tub water.
8)
WARNING:
To Reduce the Risk of Injury:
a) The water in a hot tub should never exceed 104ºF (40ºC). Water temperatures between
100ºF (38ºC) and 104ºF (40ºC) are considered safe for a healthy adult. Lower water
temperatures are recommended for young children and when hot tub use exceeds 10
minutes.
b) Since excessive water temperatures have a high potential for causing fetal damage dur-
ing the early months of pregnancy, pregnant or possibly pregnant women should limit hot
tub water temperatures to 100ºF (38ºC). If pregnant, please consult your physician before
using a hot tub.
c) The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication before or during hot tub use may lead to uncon-
sciousness with the possibility of drowning.
