DANGER
To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product
unless they are closely supervised at all times.
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.
DANGER
To reduce the risk of injury to persons, do not remove suction fittings.
Spa location must accommodate sufficient drainage of water around the base of the
structure, as well as the power source compartment.
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 body temperature of 98.6BF. 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 spa, (4) physical inability to exit spa, (5)
fetal damage in pregnant women, (6) unconsciousness resulting in danger of
drowning. WARNING The use of alcohol, drugs or medication can greatly
increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia in hot tubs and spas.
DANGER -
RISK OF ELECTRICAL 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 solid copper conductor attached to
the wire connector on the terminal box that is provided for this purpose. Refer
to NEC and local codes in effect at the time of installation.)
A pressure wire connector is provided on the control box to permit connection of a
solid copper bonding conductor between this point and any 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.
Bond accessible metal to the dedicated connector on the equipment grounding bus,
bond the equipment ground bus to the local common bonding grid as part of
the installation in the form of (1) a reinforced concrete slab for support, (2) a
ground plate provided beneath the hot tub or spa, or (3) a permanent ground
connection that is acceptable to the local inspection authority.
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 a spa or
hot tub.
To reduce the risk of injury:
The water in a spa or hot tub should never exceed 104
B
F (40
B
C). Water
temperatures between 100
B
F (38
B
C) and 104
B
F (40
B
C) are considered safe for a
healthy adult. Lower water temperatures are recommended for extended use
(exceeding 10-15 minutes) and for young children.
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 100
B
F(38
B
C).
