SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should
be observed including the following:
READ AND FOLLOW ALL
INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING – To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product
unless they are closely supervised at all times.
A wire conductor is provided on this unit to connect a minimum 6 AWG
(13.302mm2) 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
(For cord-connected/convertible units)
DANGER – Risk of injury.
a) Replace damaged cord immediately.
b) Do not bury cord.
c) Connect to a grounded, grounding type receptacle only.
(For units intended for indoor use only)
WARNING – For indoor use only. This unit is not intended for outdoor use.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS (CONT.)
(For units with GFCI)
WARNING – This product is provided with a ground-fault circuit interrupter
located on the front panel of selected swim spas and on the power cord of
120 volt convertible spas. The GFCI must be tested before each use. With the
product operating, open the service door. When the product stops operating,
this merely indicates that the door is equipped with an electrical interlock.
Next, push the test button on the GFCI and close the service door. The prod-
uct should not operate. Now open the service door, push the reset button
on the GFCI and close the service door. The product should now operate
normally. When the product fails to operate in this manner, there is a ground
current flowing indicating the possibility of an electric shock. Disconnect the
power until the fault has been identified and corrected.
DANGER – Risk of Accidental Drowning. Extreme caution must be exercised to pre-
vent unauthorized access by children. To avoid accidents, ensure that children can-
not use this spa unless they are supervised at all times.
DANGER – Risk of Injury. The suction fittings in this spa are sized to match the spe-
cific water flow created by the pump. Should the need arise to replace the suction
fittings or the pump, be sure that the flow rates are compatible.
Never operate spa if the suction fittings are broken or missing. Never replace a suc-
tion fitting with one rated less than the flow rate marked on the original suction
fitting.
DANGER – Risk of Electric Shock. Install at least 5 feet (1.5m) from all metal sur-
faces. As an alternative, a spa may be installed within 5 feet of metal surfaces if
each metal surface is permanently connected by a minimum 8AWG (8.4mm2) solid
copper conductor to the wire connector on the terminal box that is provided for
this purpose.
DANGER – Risk of Electric Shock. Do not permit any electric appliance, such as a
light, telephone, radio, or television, within 5 feet (1.5 m) of a spa.
WARNING – To reduce the risk of injury:
a) The water in a spa should never exceed 40˚C (104˚F). Water temperatures
between 38˚C (100˚F) and 40˚C (104˚F) are considered safe for a healthy
adult. Lower water temperatures are recommended for young children and
when spa use exceeds 10 minutes.

b) Since excessive water temperatures have a high potential for causing fetal
damage during the early months of pregnancy, pregnant or possibly preg-
nant women should limit spa water temperatures to 38˚C (100˚F).
c) Before entering a spa, the user should measure the water temperature
since the tolerance of water temperature- regulating devices varies.
d) The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication before or during spa use may lead
to unconsciousness with the possibility of drowning.
e) Obese persons and persons with a history of heart disease, low or high
blood pressure, circulatory system problems, or diabetes should consult a
physician before using a spa.
f) Persons using medication should consult a physician before using a spa
since some medication may induce drowsiness while other medication may
affect heart rate, blood pressure, and circulation.
(For spas with a gas heater)
WARNING – Risk of Suffocation. This spa is equipped with a gas heater and
is intended for outdoor use only unless proper ventilation can be provided for
an indoor installation.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS (CONT.)
DANGER – To reduce the risk of injury to persons, do not remove the suction
grate. Suction through drains and skimmers is powerful when the jets in the spa
are in use. Damaged covers can be hazardous to small children and adults with
long hair. Should any part of the body be drawn into these fittings, turn off the
spa immediately. As a precaution, long hair should not be allowed to float in the spa.
WARNING – Install the spa so that water can be easily drained out of the compart-
ment containing electrical components so as not to damage equipment. When
installing the spa make sure to allow for an adequate drainage system to deal with
any overflow water. Please allow for at least 3 feet of clearance around the perim-
eter of the spa to provide enough room to access for servicing. Contact your local
dealer for their specific requirements.
WARNING – The spa should be covered with an approved locking cover when not
in use, to prevent unauthorized entry and injuries.
WARNING – People with infections, sores or the like should not use the spa. Warm
and hot water temperatures may allow the growth of infectious bacteria if not
properly disinfected.
CAUTION – Safe temperatures for swimming or aquatic exercise is around 80˚F
(26.7˚C).
CAUTION – Risk of Electrical Shock. Do not leave audio compartment open.
Audio CD controls are not to be operated while inside the spa.
CAUTION – Replace components only with identical components.
WARNING – Risk of Electric Shock. Do not connect any auxiliary components (for
example, additional speakers, headphones, additional audio/ video components
etc.)
to the system. These units are not provided with an outdoor antenna.
Do not service this product yourself as opening or removing covers may expose
you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service
personnel.
If the power supply cord(s) are damaged, water is entering the speaker, audio
compartment, or any other component in the electrical equipment compartment
area, the protective shield is showing signs of deterioration, or there are signs of
other potentially hazardous damage to the unit, turn off the circuit breaker from
the wall and refer servicing to qualified personnel.

The unit should be subjected to periodic routine maintenance once every quarter to
make sure that the it is operating properly.
DANGER – Risk of Electric Shock. A green colored terminal or a terminal marked G,
GR, Ground, Grounding or the symbol shown in Figure 14.1 of UL 1563 is located
inside the supply terminal box or compartment. To reduce the risk of electric shock,
this terminal must be connected to the grounding means provided in the electric
supply service panel with a continuous copper wire equivalent in size to the circuit
conductors supplying this equipment.
At least two lugs marked “Bonding Lugs” are provided on the external surface
or on the inside of the supply terminal box or compartment. To reduce the risk
of electric shock, connect the local common bonding grid in the area of the spa
to these terminals with an insulated or bare copper conductor not smaller than
8AWG.
All field installed metal components such as rails, ladders, drains, or other similar
hardware within 3m of the spa shall be bonded to the equipment grounding bus
with copper conductors not smaller than 8AWG.
