Important Safety Instructions
A green colored terminal, or wire connector
marked Ground is provided within the control
box. To reduce the risk of electric shock, connect
this terminal or connector to the grounding
terminal of the electric service or supply panel
with a continuous copper wire equivalent in
size to the circuit conductors supplying this
equipment. In addition bonding lugs are
provided and marked Bonding Lugs. To reduce
the risk of electric shock, connect the bonding
lugs in accordance with the local electric code.
At least two lugs marked Bonding Lugs are
provided on the external surface of the supply
terminal box. To reduce the risk of electrical
shock connect the local common binding grid in
the area of the hot tub to these terminals with an
insulated or bare copper conductor not smaller
than No.6 AWG. Note: this is factory installed.
All field-installed metal components such as
rails, ladders, drains or other similar hardware
within 10 ft(3m) of the hot tub shall be bonded
to the equipment grounding bus with copper
conductors not smaller than #6AWG.
CAUTION: WIRING CONNECTED IN THIS BOX
MUST BE RATED AT 600V.
There are no user serviceable parts within
the management system. The high voltage
can cause injury or death. The hot tub must
be hooked up to a Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (G.F.C.I.) by a licensed electrician.
Use the test button on your G.F.C.I. monthly to
ensure it is working properly.
Always make sure there is an adequate sanitizer
level in your hot tub before entering. Failure to
do so may cause skin irritations or illness. Use a
test kit or test strips to check prior to entry.
CAUTION: WATER TEMPERATURE IN EXCESS OF
100ºF/38ºC MAY BE INJURIOUS TO YOUR HEALTH.
AVOID PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO HOT WATER.
WATER TEMPERATURE MAY NEED TO BE DECREASED
FOR CHILDREN OR THE ELDERLY.
THE MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED TEMPERATURE OF
YOUR HOT TUB WATER IS 104ºF/40ºC.
To reduce the risk of drowning from hair and
body entrapment, install suction fitting(s) with
a marked flow rate that is not less than the flow
rate marked on the remote packaged unit. Note:
these are factory installed. Do not operate the hot
tub with any of the suction fitting covers off.
These covers prevent hair or objects from being
sucked into the plumbing. See figure 1.

INSTRUCTIONS AND KEEP FOR EASY
REFERENCE.

CAUTION: THE EQUIPMENT AND CONTROLS
SHALL BE LOCATED NOT LESS THAN 3.5 ft OR 1m
HORIZONTALLY FROM THE HOT TUB.
Hyperthermia occurs when the internal
temperature of the body reaches a level of
several degrees above normal body temperature
of 98.6ºF (37ºC).The symptoms of hyperthermia
include drowsiness, lethargy and an increase of
internal temperature of the body.
The Effects:
• unawareness of impending hazard;
• failure to perceive heat;
• failure to recognize the need to exit the hot tub;
• physical inability to exit the hot tub;
• fetal damage in pregnant women; and
• Unconsciousness and danger of drowning.
Recommended time in water at 100ºF/38ºC
is 15 minutes. Lower temperatures will permit
longer bathing times. Always check the
temperature of the water before entry with a
thermometer.
Beachcomber’s Safety Features
Molded Interior Steps
Beachcomber Hot Tubs are made with anti-slip
checker plate flooring, designed to make entry and
exit safer. Always use extreme caution during entry
and exit, as hot tub surfaces are slippery when wet.
Body Molded Handgrips Use handgrips to prevent
slipping, and to promote ease of movement
while entering, soaking and exiting the hot tub.
See figure 2.
Heatshield Cover Locks
To prevent unwanted entry by children or
unauthorized users, use the cover lock assemblies
that come as a standard feature with each hot tub.
Screw the female half on to the hot tub cabinet
with the stainless screws provided. See figure 3.
THE USE OF ALCOHOL OR DRUGS CAN
GREATLY INCREASE THE RISK OF FATAL
HYPERTHERMIA IN HOT TUBS.
