6) Unconsciousness resulting in danger of drowning.
WARNING - To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product unless they are closely
supervised at all times.
WARNING - The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal
hyperthermia in hot tubs and spas.

so may cause property damage or personal injury.
WARNING - Do not use this product to control an automatic pool cover. Swimmers may become entrapped
underneath the cover.
WARNING - For units intended for use in other than single-family dwellings, a clearly labeled emergency
switch shall be provided as part of the installation. The switch shall be readily accessible to the occupants and

to connect a minimum of one No. 8 AWG for US installation and two No. 6 AWG for Canadian
installations solid copper conductor between this unit and any metal equipment, metal enclosures or
electrical equipment, metal water pipe, or conduit within 5 feet (1.5 m) of the unit.
5. 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, ANSI/
NFPA 70.1987. The disconnecting means must be readily accessible to the tub occupant but installed
at least 10 ft. (3.05 m) from the inside wall of the pool.
