 DANGER:  RISK OF SEVERE INJURY FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK OR 

DEATH FROM ELECTROCUTION!

•  Install the spa 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.

•  A grounding wire connector is provided on this unit to connect a minimum No. 8 AWG  

(8.4 mm²) solid copper conductor between this unit and any metal equipment, metal enclosures 

of electrical equipment, metal water pipe, or conduit within 5 feet (1.5m) of the unit.

•  Never permit any electrical appliance, such as a light, telephone, radio, television, etc. within 

5 feet (1.5m) of a spa unless such appliances are built-in by the manufacturer.

•  Never bring any electrical appliances into or near the spa.

•  Never operate any electrical appliances from inside the spa or when you are wet.

•  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/USA, ANSI/NFPA 70. The disconnecting means must be readily accessible 

and visible to the spa occupant but installed at least 5 feet (1.5m), from the spa.

 WARNING:  RISK OF SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH!

•  Extreme caution must be exercised to prevent diving or jumping into the spa or slipping and 

falling, which could result in unconsciousness, drowning, or serious injury. Remember that wet 

surfaces can be very slippery.

•  Never stand, walk or sit on the top railing of the spa.

 WARNING:  RISK OF HYPERTHERMIA (OVER-HEATING) CAUSING  

SEVERE INJURY, BURNS, WELTS OR DEATH!

•  Water temperature in excess of 104°F (40°C) may be injurious to your health.

•  Refer to the Hyperthermia for specific causes and symptoms of this condition.

•  The water in the 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 (children are especially 

sensitive to hot water) and when spa use may exceed 10 minutes.

•  The Consumer Products Safety Commission/USA has stated that the water temperature in a 

spa should not exceed 104°F (40°C).

•  Always test the spa water temperature before entering the spa. The user should measure the 

water temperature with an accurate thermometer since the tolerance of water temperature-

regulating devices may vary as much as +/- 5°F (2°C).

 WARNING:  RISK OF SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH! 

•  Since excessive water temperatures have a high potential for causing fetal damage during 

the early months of pregnancy, if pregnant or possibly pregnant, consult your physician before 

using a spa.

•  Pregnant or possibly pregnant women should limit spa water temperatures to 100°F (38°C).

•  Persons suffering from obesity or a medical history of heart disease, low or high blood 

pressure, circulatory system problems, diabetes, infectious diseases or immune deficiency 

syndromes should consult a physician before using a spa.

•  If you experience breathing difficulties in association with using or operating your spa, 

discontinue use and consult your physician.
