IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
DANGER:
Risk of Injury.
The suction fittings in this Cascade 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 Cascade
Spa if the suction fittings are broken or missing. Never replace a
suction fitting with one rated less than the flow rate marked on the
original suction fitting.
DANGER:
Risk of Accidental Drowning.
Do not allow children to be
in or around the spa without adult supervision. Keep the spa cover
on and locked when not in use. See instructions enclosed with the
cover for locking procedures.
DANGER
: Risk of Electrical Shock.
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 National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70. The
disconnect must be readily accessible and visible to the Cascade
Spa occupant but installed at least 5 feet (1.5 m) from the Cascade
Spa water.
READ, FOLLOW AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
a) A green colored terminal or a terminal marked G, Gr, Ground,
Grounding or the symbol * is located inside the supply terminal
box or compartment. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this
terminal must be connected to the grounding means provided
in the electric supply service panel with a continuous copper
wire equivalent in size to the circuit conductors that supply this
equipment.
b) At least two lugs marked “Bonding Lugs” are provided on the
external surface or on the inside of the supply terminal box
compartment. To reduce the risk of electric shock, connect the
local common bonding grid in the area of the Cascade Spa to
these terminals with an insulated or bare copper conductor not
smaller than No. 6 AWG.
c) All field-installed metal components such as rails, ladders,
drains or other similar hardware within 5 feet (1.5 m) of the
Cascade Spa shall be bonded to the equipment grounding
buss with copper conductors not smaller than No. 6 AWG.
WARNING:
To Reduce the Risk of Injury: The water in a Cascade
Spa should never exceed 104 °F (40 °C). Water temperatures
between 100 °F (38 °C) and 104 °F (40 °C) are considered safe for
a healthy adult. Lower water temperatures are recommended for
young children and when Cascade Spa use
exceeds 10 minutes.
Since excessive water temperatures have a high potential for
causing fetal damage during the early months of pregnancy,
pregnant or possibly pregnant women should limit Cascade Spa
water temperatures to 100 °F (38 °C). If pregnant, please
consult your physician before using a Cascade Spa. Before
entering the Cascade Spa, the user should measure the water
temperature with an accurate thermometer since the tolerance
of water temperature regulating devices may vary as much as
+/- 5 °F (2 °C). Persons suffering from obesity or a medical
history of heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory
system problems or diabetes should consult a physician before
using a Cascade Spa.
CAUTION:
Risk of Hyperthermia:
Hyperthermia occurs when
the internal temperature of the body reaches a level several
degrees above the normal body temperature of 98.6 °F (37 °C).
The symptoms of hyperthermia include drowsiness, lethargy,
and an increase in the internal temperature of the body.
Prolonged immersion in hot water may induce hyperthermia. A
description of the causes, symptoms, and effects of
hyperthermia are as follows:
•
Unawareness of impending hazard;
•
Failure to perceive heat;
•
Failure to recognize the need to exit Cascade Spa;
•
Physical inability to exit Cascade Spa;
•
Fetal damage in pregnant women; and
•
Unconsciousness and danger of drowning.
WARNING:
Children should not use Cascade Spas without
adult supervision.
WARNING:
Do not use Cascade Spas unless all suction
guards are installed to prevent body and hair entrapment.
WARNING:
People with infectious diseases should not use a
Cascade Spa.
WARNING:
To avoid injury, exercise care when entering or
exiting the Cascade Spa.
WARNING:
Do not use drugs or alcohol before or during the
use of a Cascade Spa to avoid unconsciousness and possible
drowning. The use of alcohol or drugs can greatly increase the
risk of fatal hyperthermia in Cascade Spas.
WARNING:
Pregnant or possibly pregnant women should
consult a physician before using a Cascade Spa.
