IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
Read manufacturer’s safety information provided with all optional equipment.
Warning — Risk of injury: Children, the elderly,
and the infirm should not use the spa unless they are
supervised at all times. Infants should not be permitted
in the spa at water temperatures over 100°F (38°C).
Spa water temperature in excess of 104°F is not
recommended. High water temperatures in excess of
104°F (40°C) and prolonged periods of use can raise
internal human body temperature excessively and im-
pair the body’s ability to regulate its internal tempera-
ture.Pregnant women and people with heart circulatory
conditions, or diabetes, should consult their physicians
beforeusingthespaatwatertemperaturesover100°F
(38°C).
Limit your initial use of the spa to 10-15 minutes.
High body temperatures affect people differently; con-

using the spa.
If your spa product does not have a thermometer,
we recommend that you use a medical (clinical) type
thermometerforanaccuratemeasurementofspawater
temperatures. Other types of thermometer, generally
available, such as those used for swimming pools are
not sufficiently accurate to determine spa water tem-
perature.

consuming alcoholic beverages. Alcohol, drugs, or
certain medications, such as tranquilizers, affect a
person’sabilitytowithstandhightemperaturesandmay
produce dangerous effects, including drowning. Per-
sons using medication should consult with a physician
before using a spa.
Danger -— Risk of injury: Do not remove the suction
grille! It is a safety device and must always be in place
on the suction fitting to minimize the potential hazard of
hair entanglement or body entrapment.
Keep body, hair, and clothing a minimum of 12
inches away from suction fitting and skimmers at all
times when the spa is operating. Hair longer than
shoulderlengthshouldbesecuredclosetothe head,or
a bathing cap should be worn.

if broken or missing.
The wet surface of the spa is slippery. Use care
when entering and exiting.
DANGER — Risk of child drowning: Do not permit
children to use this product unless they are closely
supervised. The use of a locked cover is highly recom-
mended to prevent unattended access.
DANGER — RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK: When
installing and operating this electrical equipment, basic
safety precautions should always be adhered to includ-
ing the following.
Warning: A wire connector is provided at the electrical
cabinet on this spa to connect a minimum No. 8 AWG
(8.4 mm2) solid copper conductor between this spa and
any metal equipment, metal enclosures of electrical
equipment,metalwaterpipe,orconduitwithin5feet(1.5
m) of the spa.
Do not use electrically connected devices such as
television, radio, or stereo speakers, lights, cooking
devices, or telephones within 5 feet (1.5 m) of the spa
whilethespaisbeingused.Lightingfixturesmustnotbe
locateddirectlyaboveorwithin5feet(1.5m)ofthespa.
If located within 10 feet (3.0 m) of the spa, they must be
on a circuit protected by a GFCI (Ground Fault Inter-
rupter Circuit).
All fixed metal objects located within 5 feet of the
spa, such as fence posts, railings, door frames, green-
house structures, gutters, etc., must be attached to the
bonding bar on the outside of the spa electrical cabinet
using#8solid copperwire. With#8solid copperwire,
bond the spa to the house electrical panel or ap-
proved local bond.
The spa must be installed with adequate access
andwaterdrainagesystem,refertoInstallationInstruc-
tions, to drain water away from electrical components.
CAUTION: Do not turn power ON to the spa unless it
is filled with water to the normal water level, which is to
the water level indicator mark on the skimmer frame.
Activating the spa when there is an insufficient amount
of water can damage the circulation pump and may
cause a fire.
DANGER — RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK
YourspamustbeequippedwithaGFCIattheMain
Electrical Panel. At initial start-up and before each use
thereafter with power ON, push the GFCI test button.
The reset button should pop out. Push this button in to
reset. If the interrupter fails to operate in this manner,
there is a ground current flowing or a device malfunc-
tioning, indicating the possibility of electrical shock.
Turn off power and do not use the spa until the
source of the breakdown has been identified and
corrected.
