UL INSTRUCTIONS
The instructions you are about to read are required to
be published in your manual by the Underwriters
Laboratories. These instructions are very important
for your safety and QCA would like to encourage you
to read and apply all instructions. Thank you!
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When installing and using this electrical equipment,
remember to always observe safety precautions,
including the following:
1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
2a. DANGER - To reduce the risk of injury, do not
permit children to use this product unless they are
closely supervised.
2b. WARNING - RISK OF CHILD DROWNING.
Extreme caution must be exercised to prevent
unauthorized access by children. To avoid
accidents, ensure that children cannot use a spa or
hot tub unless they are supervised at all times.
3. Connect to a grounded, grounding type receptacle
only.
4. WARNING - To reduce the risk of electrical
shock, replace a damaged cord immediately.
5.
DANGER - To reduce the risk of injury to persons,
do not remove suction fittings.
6.
A pressure wire connector is provided on the
inside and outside of the control box inside the unit
to permit connection of a minimum No. 8 AWG
(8.4mm) solid copper bonding conductor between
this point and any metal equipment, metal
enclosures of electrical equipment, metal water
pipe, or conduit within 5 feet (1.5m) of the unit as
needed to comply with local requirements.
7. (All permanently installed units must have a
GFCI) This appliance must have a neutrally
protected ground-fault circuit-interrupter. Before
each use and with the unit operating, push the test
button. The unit should stop operating and the
reset button should appear. Push the reset button.
The unit should now operate normally. If the
interrupter does not perform in this manner, a
ground current is flowing indicating the possibility
of an electric shock. Disconnect the power until
the fault has been identified and corrected.
8. Install to provide drainage of compartment for
electrical components.
9.
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
. Install at least 5
feet (1.5m) from all metal surfaces. (A spa may be
installed within 5 feet of metal surfaces if each
metal surface is permanently connected by a
minimum No. 8 AWG (8.4mm) solid copper
conductor attached to the pressure wire connector
on the terminal box that is provided for this
purpose.)
10. DANGER - RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
Do not permit any electrical appliance, such as a
light, telephone, radio, or television, within 5 feet
(1.5m) of the spa or hot tub.
11. To reduce the risk of injury:
a.
The water in a spa or hot tub should never
exceed 40
°
C (104
°
F). Water temperatures
between 38
°
C (100
°
F) and 40
°
C (104
°
F) are
considered safe for a healthy adult. Lower
water temperatures are recommended for
extended use (exceeding 10-15 minutes) and
for young children.
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 or
hot tub water temperatures to 38
°
C (100
°
F).
c. Before entering a spa or hot tub, the user
should measure the water temperature with an
accurate thermometer since the tolerance of
water temperature-regulating devices may
vary as much as +/-30C (5
°
F).
d. The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication
before or during spa or hot tub use may lead to
unconsciousness with the possibility of
drowning.
e. Persons suffering from obesity or with a
medical history of heart disease, low or high
blood pressure, circulatory system problems or
diabetes should consult a physician before
using a spa or hot tub.
f. Persons using medication should consult a
physician before using a spa or hot tub since
some medication may induce drowsiness while
other medications may affect heart rate, blood
pressure, and circulation.
12. The electrical supply for this product must
include a suitably rated switch or circuit breaker
to open all ungrounded supply conductors to
comply with section 422-20 of the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-1987. The
disconnecting means must be readily accessible
to the tub occupant but installed at least 5 feet
(1.5m) from the tub water. For units used in
other than single-family dwellings, a clearly
labeled emergency switch shall be provided as
part of the installation. The switch shall be
readily accessible to the occupants and shall be
installed at least 5 feet (1.52 m) away, adjacent
to, and within sight of the unit.
SAVE THESE NSTRUCTIONS
Just a quick note,
For your own security...Prolonged immersion in water
that is warmer than normal body temperature can result
in a dangerous condition known as HYPERTHERMIA.
The causes, symptoms, and effects of hyperthermia may be
described as follows: Hyperthermia occurs when the
internal temperature of the body reaches a level several
degrees above the normal temperature of 98.60F or 37°
C. The symptoms of hyperthermia include dizziness,
fainting, drowsiness, lethargy, and an increase in the
internal temperature of the body. The effects of
hyperthermia include (1) unawareness of impending
hazard, (2) failure to perceive heat, (3) failure to
recognize the need to exit the spa, (4) physical inability to
exit the spa, (5) fetal damage in pregnant women, and (6)
unconsciousness resulting in a danger of drowning.
