IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of drowning, electric shock, or serious injury, read the following
important precautions before using the hydrotherapy spa.
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
1.
It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of the hydrotherapy spa are
adequately informed of all precautions.
2.
Use the hydrotherapy spa only as described
in this manual.
3.
The hydrotherapy spa is intended for home
use only. Do not use the spa in any commer-
cial, rental, or institutional setting.
4.
Use the hydrotherapy spa only on a level
surface. Do not use the spa on carpet or
other materials that could be damaged by
moisture. Do not use the spa on rough or
sharp surfaces such as gravel or wood
chips.
5.
The hydrotherapy spa will weigh approxi-
mately 2400 pounds when it is assembled
and filled with water. Be sure that the loca-
tion you select for the spa will support this
weight, plus the weight of the occupants.
6. Inspect and tighten all parts regularly.
Replace any worn parts immediately.
7.
DANGERÑRisk of injury: Do not remove or
alter the covers on the suction fittings. Never
operate the hydrotherapy spa if the suction
guard is missing or broken. Keep hair and
body away from the suction guard. If you
need to replace a suction fitting, be sure that
the flow rate of the replacement is compatible.
8.
Do not bring any object into the hydrothera-
py spa that could puncture the liner.
9.
Never insert any object into any opening.
10. Do not sit on the spa cover or place objects
on it. It is not designed to support weight.
11. Remove any water which may collect on the
spa cover.
12. Keep children and pets away from the
hydrotherapy spa when it is not in use.
13. Keep all chemicals away from children and
pets.
14. The pH and chemical balance of the water
must be maintained as explained in this man-
ual (see page 13). Failure to do so may cause
injury to users or damage to the spa jet unit,
and will void the warranty.
15. The water pump in the spa jet unit must be
primed before you use the hydrotherapy spa
the first time. You must also prime the pump
before using the unit each time you re-fill the
spa. The spa jet unit may be seriously dam-
aged if the pump is not properly primed (see
PRIMING THE SPA JET UNIT on page 10).
16. DANGERÑWhen connecting the power cord
(see PLUGGING IN THE HYDROTHERAPY
SPA on page 10), plug the power cord direct-
ly into a grounded circuit capable of carrying
15 or more amps. No other appliance should
be on the same circuit. Replace the power
cord immediately if damaged.
17. Do not use an extension cord with the
hydrotherapy spa. This could damage the
motor and will void the warranty.
18. DANGERÑIf you will be using the hydrother-
apy spa outside, do not bury the power cord;
you should also keep the power cord away
from lawn mowers, hedge trimmers, and
other similar equipment.
19. WARNINGÑThe power cord is equipped with
a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI),
located at the end of the power cord. The
GFCI must be tested before each use. To test
the GFCI, press the ÒtestÓ button while the
spa jet unit is running. The spa jet unit
should shut off. Press the ÒresetÓ button.
The spa jet unit should resume normal oper-
ation. If the spa jet unit continues to run after
the ÒtestÓ button is pressed, then the GFCI is
damaged. Do not use the hydrotherapy spa
until the GFCI has been repaired or replaced
by a qualified electrician.
20. Keep all electrical appliances such as radios,
telephones, televisions, and lights at least
five feet (1.52 meters) away from the water.
21. A wire connector is provided on the pump
