IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION 

 

READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS 

 

 

Warning — Risk of injury:  Children, the elderly, and the 

infirm should not use the spa unless they are supervised at all 

times.  Infants should not be permitted in the spa at water 

temperatures over 100° F (38°C). 

Spa  water  temperatures  in  excess  of  104°  F  is  not 

recommended.  High water temperatures in excess of 104° F 

(40° C) and  prolonged periods of use can raise internal human 

body  temperature  excessively  and  impair  the  body’s  ability  to 

regulate its internal temperature. 

Pregnant  women  and  people  with  heart  circulatory  condi- 

tions,  or  diabetes,  should  consult  their  physicians  before  using 

the spa at water temperatures over 100° F (38° C). 

Limit your initial use of the spa to 10 - 15 minutes. High 

body  temperatures  affect  people  differently;  consult  your 

physician about your safety and comfort before using the spa. If 

your spa product does not have a thermometer, we 

recommend that you use a medical (clinical) type thermometer 

for an accurate measurement of spa water temperatures. 

Other types of thermometers, generally available, such as 

those used for swimming pools are not sufficiently accurate to 

determine spa water temperatures. 

Extra care should  be taken  when  using the spa  and 

consuming  alcoholic  beverages.    Alcohol,  drugs,  or certain 

medications,  such  as  tranquilizers,  affect  a  person’s  ability  to 

withstand  high  temperatures  and  may  produce  dangerous 

effects,  including  drowning.    Persons  using  medication  should 

consult with a physician before using a spa. 

Danger -— Risk of injury:  Do not remove the suction grille! It 

is  a  safety  device  and  must  always  be  in  place  on  the  suction 

fitting  to  minimize  the  potential  hazard  of  hair  entanglement  or 

body entrapment. 

Keep body, hair, and clothing a minimum of 12 inches 

away from suction fitting and skimmers at all times when the 

spa is operating.  Hair longer than shoulder length should be 

secured close to the head, or a bathing cap should be worn. 

Do not operate the spa if the suction cover is broken or 

missing.  Contact your Dealer for replacement cover if broken 

or missing. 

The wet surface of the spa is slippery.  Use care when 

entering and exiting. 

DANGER — Risk of child drowning:  Do not permit children to 

use this product unless they are closely supervised.  The use 

of  a  locked  cover  is  highly  recommended  to  prevent 

unattended access. 

 

 

DANGER — RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK:  When install- 

ing and operating this electrical equipment, basic safety pre- 

cautions should always be adhered to including the following. 

Warning:   A wire connector  is provided  at the  electrical 

cabinet on this spa to connect a minimum No. 8 AWG (8.4 

MM

2

) solid copper conductor between this spa and any metal 

equipment, metal enclosures of electrical equipment, metal 

water pipe, or conduit within 5 feet (1.5 m) of the spa. 

Do not use electrically connected devices such as televi- 

sion, radio, or stereo speakers, lights, cooking devices, or 

telephones within 5 feet (1.5 m) of the spa while the spa is 

being used. Lighting fixtures must not be located directly 

above or within 5 feet (1.5 m) of the spa.  If located within 10 

feet (3.0 m) of the spa, they must be on a circuit protected by a 

GFCI (Ground Fault Interrupter Circuit). 

All fixed metal objects located within 5 feet of the spa, 

such as fence posts, railings, door frames, greenhouse struc- 

tures, gutters, etc., must be attached to the bonding bar on the 

outside of the spa electrical cabinet using #8 solid copper wire. 

With #8 solid copper wire, bond the spa to the house 

electrical panel or approved local bond

The spa must be installed with adequate access and 

water drainage system, refer to Installation Instructions, to 

drain water away from electrical components. 

CAUTION:  Do not turn power ON to the spa unless it is filled 

with water to the normal water level, which is to the water level 

indicator mark on the skimmer frame.  Activating the spa when 

there is an insufficient amount of water can damage the 

circulation pump and may cause a fire. 

 

 

If your spa is installed in a 230VAC circuit: 

DANGER — RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK 

Your spa must be equipped with a GFCI at the Main 

Electrical  Panel.    At  initial  startup  and  before  each  use 

thereafter with power ON, push the GFCI test button.  The 

reset button should pop out.  Push this button in to reset.  If the 

interrupter fails to operate in this manner, there is a ground 

current flowing or a device malfunctioning, indicating the 

possibility of electrical shock.  Turn off power and do not use 

the spa until the source of the breakdown has been 

identified and corrected

 

 

 

 

20 AMP RECEPTACLE 

 

 

GFCI 

 

 

 

 

 

If your spa is installed in a 115VAC, 20 AMP circuit: 

1.   The spa is supplied with a 15 foot line cord which 

terminates with an integral GFCI plug.  Locate the spa near 

enough to a weather protected outlet, but no closer than 10 

feet.    DO  NOT  USE  AN  EXTENSION  CORD!    Using  an 

extension  cord  is  hazardous  and  will  decrease  the  amount  of 

power  to  the  unit, causing slow heating,  poor  whirlpool  perfor- 

mance, or system malfunction. 

 

 

2.   Replace damaged line cord  immediately.  Do not bury 

line cord.  Connect to a grounded, grounding type receptacle 

only. 

3.   Bring the line cord out from under the skirt.  Remove 

skirt screws as required to gain access.  Make sure the line 

cord does not lie across a walkway or in a heavily traveled area 

where it may be a safety hazard or become damaged. 

4.   At initial startup and before each use thereafter with 

power ON, push the GFCI test button.  The reset button should 

pop out.  Push this button in to reset.  If the interrupter fails to 

operate in this manner, there is a ground current flowing or a 

device malfunctioning, indicating the possibility of electrical 

shock.  Turn off power and do not use the spa until the 

source of the breakdown has been identified and cor- 

rected

 

 

Read manufacturer’s safety information provided with all optional equipment.
