Safety Instructions
INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO A RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS.
This is a professional grade product. A knowledge of construction techniques, plumbing and electrical installation according to
codes are required for proper installation and user satisfaction. We recommend that a licensed contractor perform the installation
of all Jacuzzi Luxury Bath products. Our warranty does not cover improper installation related problems.
CAUTION
: When using this unit, basic precautions should always be performed, including the following:
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
.
•
Use this unit only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use attachments not recommended by the
manufacturer.
•
Never drop or insert any object into any opening.
WARNING: RISK OF ACCIDENTAL INJURY OR DROWNING!
Do not permit children to use this unit unless they are closely supervised at all times. Do not use hydromassage bathtub
unless all suction guards are installed to prevent body and hair entrapment. Never operate the hydromassage bathtub if the
suction cover is broken, damaged or missing.
DANGER: RISK OF SEVERE INJURY FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK OR DEATH FROM ELECTROCUTION!
This unit must be connected only to a supply circuit that is protected by a 15 amp ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI).
Such a GFCI should be provided by the installer and should be tested on a routine basis. To test the GFCI, push the test
button. The GFCI should interrupt power. Push the reset button. Power should be restored. If the GFCI fails to operate
in this manner, the GFCI is defective. If the GFCI interrupts power to the bathtub without the test button being pushed, a
ground current is flowing, indicating a possibility of an electric shock. Do not use this hydromassage bathtub. Disconnect the
hydromassage bathtub and have the problem corrected by a qualified service representative before using.
WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!
Connect only to a circuit protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). (For permanently connected units) A green-
colored terminal (or a wire connector) marked “G,” “GR,” “GROUND,” or “GROUNDING”) is provided within the terminal
compartment. To reduce the risk of electric shock, connect the terminal or connector to the grounding terminal of your
electric service or supply panel with a conductor equivalent in size to the circuit conductors supplying the equipment.
CAUTION:
This equipment is intended for indoor use only. Install the equipment in accordance with these instructions. Use
supply wires that are suitable for 167°F (75°C), including the temperature rating of the supply conductors to be used. This
unit should be electrically grounded and installed by a licensed contractor, electrician, and plumber. Building materials and
wiring should be routed away from the motor/pump or blower or other heat producing components of this unit. A pressure
wire connector is provided on the exterior of the motor/pump and heater to permit connection of an No. 8 AWG solid copper
bonding conductor between this unit and all other electric equipment and exposed metal in the vicinity, as needed to comply
with local requirements.
