OWNER'S MANUAL
AVOIDING RISK OF 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 98.6ºF. The symptoms of hyperthermia
include an increase in the internal temperature of the body, dizziness, lethargy,
drowsiness and fainting.
The effects of hyperthermia include:
1. Failure to perceive heat.
2. Failure to recognize the need to exit the spa or hot tub.
3. Unawareness of impending hazard.
4. Fetal damage in pregnant women.
5. Physical inability to exit the spa or hot tub.
6. Unconsciousness resulting in drowning.
The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal
hyperthermia in hot tubs and spas.
To Reduce The Risk of Injury:
•Thewaterinthespashouldneverexceed104°F(40ºC).Watertemperaturesbetween

OWNER'S MANUAL
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Location Preparation
Your Adirondack Spas®model is totally self-contained and portable. You can install the spa
outside or inside. Preferable places are on a patio, deck or indoors. The spa should always be
placed on a level, load bearing surface in accordance with your local building code requirements.
Other items you need to consider are the following:
• Verifythatthelocationchosencansupporttheweightofthespa,thewaterofthespaand
its occupants.
• Alwayscheckthesurfaceofthesitetoseeifitislevelbeforefillingthespawithwater.

Adirondack Spas®is manufactured to be a portable unit. Any permanent
installation of this product is done at the risk of the owner. Permanent
installation of this unit violates warranty coverage.
Outdoor Installation
Always keep in mind what type of climate you live in. In a climate with cold, snowy winters you
may want to consider locating the spa close to the house for easy access. In climates where it is
normally warm or hot year-round, it would be recommended to place the spa in a shaded or cool
area. With deck installations it is recommended that a qualified building contractor or structural
engineerreviewtheweightthedeckcansupport.Thespaspecificationsheet(onpage6)can
assist you with the weights and dimensions of your spa.
Indoor Installation
Special requirements are needed for indoor installation. Spas normally produce moisture. A
ventilation system needs to be considered. Your spa area should contain moisture resistant wall/
floor coverings and building materials to avoid damage from moisture over time. Proper drainage
of the spa water also needs to be considered.
Your Adirondack Spas® model is equipped with air vents to allow for circulation of
air throughout the equipment compartment. These vents are found on the face of the
equipment compartment panel and under the corners of the spa at the equipment
compartment end. Do not allow vents to be blocked as to prevent the circulation of air
in the equipment compartment.
Your Adirondack Spas® dealer can help you with information such as
local zoning regulations and building codes.
