IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
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. 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 chil-
dren 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 break-
er 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 hot
tub occupant but installed at least 5 feet (1.5 m) from the hot tub
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 hot tub 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 hot
tub 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 hot
tub 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 hot tub 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 hot tub water
temperatures to 100 °F (38 °C). If pregnant, please consult your
physician before using a hot tub. Before entering the hot tub, 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 hot tub.
CAUTION:
Risk of Hyperthermia: Hyperthermia occurs when
the internal temperature of the body reaches a level several de-
grees 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 hot tub;
Physical inability to exit hot tub;
Fetal damage in pregnant women; and
Unconsciousness and danger of drowning.
WARNING:
Children should not use hot tubs without adult
supervision.
WARNING:
Do not use hot tubs unless all suction guards
are installed to prevent body and hair entrapment.
WARNING:
People with infectious diseases should not use a
hot tub.
WARNING:
To avoid injury, exercise care when entering or
exiting the hot tub.
WARNING:
Do not use drugs or alcohol before or during the
use of a hot tub to avoid unconsciousness and possible drown-
ing. The use of alcohol or drugs can greatly increase the risk of
fatal hyperthermia in hot tubs.
WARNING:
Pregnant or possibly pregnant women should
consult a physician before using a hot tub.
WARNING:
Water temperature in excess of 38 °C (100 °F)
may be injurious to your health. Before entering the hot tub,
measure the water temperature with an accurate thermometer.
WARNING:
Do not use a hot tub immediately following
strenuous exercise.
WARNING:
Prolonged immersion in a hot tub may be injuri-
ous to your health.
WARNING:
Do not permit electric appliances (such as lights,
telephone, radio, television, etc.) within 5 feet (1.5m) of this hot
tub unless such appliances are built-in by the manufacturer.
WARNING:
People using medication and/or having an ad-
verse medical history should consult a physician before using a
spa or hot tub.
CAUTION:
Observe a reasonable time limit when using the
hot tub. Long exposures at higher temperatures can cause high
body temperature. Symptoms may include dizziness, nausea,
fainting, drowsiness, and reduced awareness. These effects
could possibly result in drowning.
CAUTION:
Enter and exit the hot tub slowly. Wet surfaces
can be very slippery.
CAUTION:
Proper chemical maintenance of hot tub water is
necessary to maintain safe water and prevent possible damage
