SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
DANGER – RISK OF INJURY – READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTURCTIONS
1.
Read, keep, and make these instructions available!
2.
Children should be CLOSELY supervised at all
times.
WARNING – RISK OF CHILD DROWNING -
Extreme caution must be exercised to prevent
unauthorized access by children. To avoid accidents,
ensure that children cannot use hot tub unless they
are supervised at all times.
3.
DANGER: To avoid the risk of drowning, keep the
filter clean and unclogged. Do not remove the
suction drain cover. Do not modify the suction or
filtration systems.
4.
Exercise caution when entering or leaving the hot
tub. When changing positions, be sure of your
footing before applying your full weight, as water
refraction can be misleading and surfaces may be
slippery when wet.
5.
Do not stay in the water for extended periods of
time. Set reasonable time limits. Leave the hot tub,
cool down, take a shower, relax, and then return for
another stay.
6.
The water in a spa should never exceed 104 ° F (40°
C). Water temperatures between 100°F (37°C) and
104 °F (40°C) are considered safe for a healthy
adult. Lower water temperatures are
recommended for extended use (exceeding 10 to
15 minutes) and for young children.
7.
Since excessive water temperature has a high
potential for causing fetal damage during the
early months of pregnancy, pregnant or possibly
pregnant women should limit spa water
temperatures to 100° F (37 ° C).
8.
Before entering a spa, the user should measure the
water temperature with an accurate thermometer
since the tolerance of water temperature
regulating devises may vary as much as 5°F (3°C)
.
9.
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 a spa or
hot tub.
10.
Never use hot tub alone.
11.

Do not bury Cord.
Connect to a grounded, grounding type
receptacle only.

drowsiness or lethargy.
The effects of Hyperthermia include:
1.
Unawareness of impending hazard
2.
Failure to perceive heat
3.
