IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

ATTENTION INSTALLER: INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC

SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS

READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: When using this unit, always follow basic precautions, including the following:

WARNING:

 

RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK.

The unit must be connected only to a circuit
that is protected by a 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, press the test
button. The GFCI should interrupt power. Press
the reset button. Power should be restored. If the
GFCI fails to operate in this manner, there is a
ground current flowing or the GFCI is defective.
The possibility of an electric shock may exist.
DO NOT use this unit.
 Disconnect the unit and
have the problem corrected by a qualified licensed
electrician.

Grounding  is required. The unit should be installed
and grounded by a qualified service representative.

A pressure wire connector is provided on the pump to
permit connection of a solid copper bonding conductor
between this unit and all other electrical equipment and
exposed metal in the vicinity, as needed to comply with
local requirements.

DANGER:

 

RISK OF INJURY.

Hot whirlpool baths can put certain stresses on the body,
as do any hot bath, shower, sauna, or steam bath.
Prolonged immersions in hot water may induce
hyperthermia. 
Hyperthermia occurs when the internal
temperature of the body reaches a level several degrees
above the normal body temperature of 98.6

°

F. The

symptoms of hyperthermia include an increase in the
internal body temperature, dizziness, lethargy,
drowsiness, and fainting. The effects of hyperthermia
include: (1) failure to perceive heat, (2) failure to
recognize the need to exit the bath, (3) unawareness of
impending hazard, (4) fetal damage in pregnant women,
(5) physical inability to exit the bath, and (6)
unconsciousness resulting in the danger of drowning.
Warning: The use of alcohol, drugs, or other medication
can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia.

DO NOT operate this unit without the guard on the
suction fitting.

Never drop or insert any object into any opening.

Use this unit only for its intended use as denoted in this
manual. DO NOT use attachments not recommended
by the Kohler Co.

Install to permit access for servicing.

DANGER:

 

RISK OF INJURY. To reduce the risk

of injury, do not permit children to use this unit
unless they are closely supervised at all times.
