prevent unauthorized access by children. To avoid accidents, ensure that children 
cannot use this spa unless they are supervised at all times.

 

4.

 

DANGER: Risk of injury:

 The suction fittings in this spa are sized to match the 

specific water flow created by the pump. Should the need arise to replace the 
suction fittings or the pump, be sure that the flow rates are compatible. Never 
operate the spa if the suction fittings are broken or missing. Never replace a 
suction fitting with one rated less than the flow rate marked on the original 
suction fitting.

 

5.

 

DANGER: Risk of Electric Shock.

 Install at least 5 feet (1.5m), from all metal 

surfaces. As an alternative, a spa may be installed within 5 feet of metal surfaces 
if each metal surface is permanently connected (bonded) by a minimum No. 8 
AWG (8.4 mm2) solid copper conductor attached to the wire connector on the 
grounding lug, inside the equipment compartment on the equipment box.

DANGER: Risk of Electric Shock. 

Do not permit any electrical appliance, such 

as a light, telephone, radio, television, ect. Within 5 feet (1.5m) of a spa unless 
such appliances are built-in by the manufacturer.

 

7.

 

WARNING: To Reduce the Risk of Injury:  

 

The water in a spa should never exceed 104 F (40 C). Water temperatures 
between 100 F (38 C) and 104 F (40 C) are considered safe for a healthy adult. 
Lower water temperatures are recommended for young children and when spa use 
exceeds 10 minutes

 

 

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 temperatures to 100 F (38 C). If pregnant, please consult 
your physician before using a spa.
