considered safe for a healthy adult. Lower water temperature is
recommended for young children and when spa use exceeds 10
minutes.
B. Since excessive water temperatures have a high potential for
causing fetal damage during the early months of pregnancy,
pregnant or possibly pregnant women should limit spa water
temperature to 100°F (38°C).
C. Before entering a spa, the user should measure the water
temperature with an accurate thermometer since the tolerance of
water temperature regulating devices varies.
D. The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication before or during spa use
may lead to unconsciousness with the possibility of drowning.
E. Obese person and person with a history of heart disease, low or
high blood pressure, circulatory system problems, or diabetes
should consult a physician before use a spa.
F. Person using medication should consult a physician before using
a spa since some medication may induce drowsiness while other
medication may affect heart rate, blood pressure, and circulation.
A green coloured terminal or a terminal marked G, GR, Ground, Grounding,
or the symbol* is located inside the electric box. To reduce the risk of
electric shock, this terminal must be connected to the grounding means
provided in the electric supply service panel with a continuous copper wire
equivalent in size to the circuit conductors supplying this equipment.
* IEC Publication 417, Symbol 5019.
At least two lugs marked "BONDING LUGS" are provided on the external
surface or on inside the electric box. To reduce the risk of electric shock,
connect the local common bonding grid in the area of the hot tub or spa to
these terminals with an insulated or bare copper conductor not smaller than
No. 6 AWG.
All field—installed metal components such as rails, ladders, drains or other
similar hardware within 3 m of the spa or hot tub shall be bonded to the
equipment grounding bus with copper conductors not smaller than No. 6
AWG.
