IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When installing your spa and using this equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed. For your
safety and the safety of others it is vital that the following be observed:
•READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS! The following instructions are required by UL 1563 standard to
be printed as a condition of their listing this product. They contain important safety information we strongly
urge you to read and apply.
•DANGER - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY: Do not permit children to use spa unless they are closely
supervised at all times.
WARINING SIGN MUST BE POSTED
The WARNING sign (RED) above is packed with your new Platinum Spa. This sign must be posted in a prominent place
in close proximity to the spa installation site immediately upon completion of spa installation.
•WARNING SIGN - It is extremely important that this sign be permanently placed in clear view of any persons
using the spa. Occasional spa users may not be aware of some of the dangers hot water poses to pregnant
women, small children, and people under the influence of alcohol. If you did not receive a warning sign or your
sign has become damaged, please contact the manufacturer.
•DANGER - A wire connector is provided on this unit to connect a minimum No. 6 AWG (10 mm2) solid copper
conductor between unit and any metal equipment, metal enclosures of electrical equipment, metal water pipe, or
conduit, if that item is located within 5 feet (1.5m) of the unit.
•DANGER - RISK OF ACCIDENTAL DROWNING: Extreme caution must be exercised at all times, to prevent
unauthorized access by children. To avoid accidents, ensure that children cannot use spa unless they are
supervised at all times. Cover spa and use safety locks to prevent accidents.
•DANGER - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY: The suction fittings in the spa are sized to match the specific
water flow created by the pump/pumps. Should the need arise to replace the suction fittings or the
pump/pumps, be sure that the flow rates are compatible.
•DANGER - RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK: Install at least 5 feet (1.5m) from all metal surfaces. As an
alternative, a spa may be installed within 5 feet (1.5m) of metal surfaces if each metal surface is permanently
connected by a minimum No. 6 AWG solid copper conductor to the wire connector on the terminal box that is
proved for this purpose. Do not permit any electrical appliance, such as a light, telephone, radio or television
within 5 feet (1.5m) of the spa, unless factory installed.
•Position spa to provide proper drainage and accessibility of electrical compartments.
•For floor recessed spas, install to permit access for servicing from above or below floor.
•NEVER USE AN EXTENSION CORD!
•Consideration should be taken for water splash out. Water can ruin wood floors and some finishes.
•DO NOT use a wall switch, ground fault circuit interrupter, circuit breaker, fuse, or plugging and unplugging the
spa as a means of turning on or off your spa for normal everyday use.
•DO NOT block access door.
•Set the spa on a firm level (flat) surface. DO NOT set spa on blocks as structural damage may occur to spa.
•WARNING - To reduce the risk of injury the water in a spa should never exceed 40.0° C (104.0° F). Water
temperatures between 38.0° C (100.0° F) and 40.0° C (104.0° F) are considered safe for a healthy adult. Lower
water temperatures are recommended for young children and when spa use exceeds 10 minutes.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
•Since excessive water temperatures have a high potential for causing fetal damage during early pregnancy,
pregnant or possibly pregnant women should limit water temperatures to 38.0° C (100.0° F). Before entering a
spa, the user should test the water temperature with an accurate thermometer. The tolerances of water
temperature-regulating devices vary. The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication before or during spa use may
lead to unconsciousness with the possibility of drowning. Persons suffering from obesity, medical history or
heart disease, low/high blood pressure, circulatory system problems, or diabetes, should consult a physician
before using a spa. Persons using medication should consult a physician before using a spa because some
medications induce drowsiness while others may affect heart rate, blood pressure and circulation.
•Your spa is equipped with audio.
Caution - Risk of Electric Shock.
Do not leave audio compartment door and cover open.
Caution - Risk of Electric Shock
Replace audio components only with identical components.
Warning - Prevent Electrocution
Do not connect any auxiliary components. For example, cable, additional speakers, headphones, etc. to the
system.
HYPERTHERMIA
Prolonged immersion in hot water may induce hyperthermia. A description of the causes, symptoms, and effects of
hyperthermia are as follows:
Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a level several degrees above the normal body
temperature of 98.60° F (37.0° C). The symptoms of hyperthermia include drowsiness, lethargy, and an increase in the
internal temperature of the body. The effects of hyperthermia include:
•Unawareness of impending hazard;
•Failure to perceive heat;
•Failure to recognize the need to exit spa;
•Physical inability to exit spa;
•Fetal damage in pregnant women; and
•Unconsciousness and danger of drowning.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT: Because of the combined weight of the spa, water and users, it is extremely important that the base upon
which the spa rests be smooth, flat, level and capable of uniformly supporting this weight, without shifting or settling, for
the entire time the spa is in place. If the spa is placed on a surface which does not meet these requirements, damage to
the skirt and/or the spa shell may result. Damage caused by improper support is not covered under warranty. It is the
responsibility of the spa owner to assure the integrity of the support at all times. It is strongly recommended that a
qualified, licensed contractor prepare the foundation for your spa. The manufacturer recommends a poured, reinforced
concrete slab with a minimum thickness of 4 inches (10cm). Wood decking is also acceptable provided it is constructed
so that it meets the requirements outlined above. The spa must be installed in such a manner as to provide drainage
away from the spa. Placing the spa in a depression without provisions for proper drainage could allow rain, overflow and
other casual water to flood the equipment and create a wet deck. Install so as to permit access to the equipment, either
from above or below, for servicing. Make certain that there are no obstructions which would prevent removal of the
cabinet side panels and access to the jets components, especially on the side with the equipment bay doors.
Outdoor Location
In selecting the ideal outdoor location for your spa, we suggest that you take into consideration:
•The proximity to changing area and shelter (especially in colder weather conditions).
•The pathway to and from the spa (free of debris, dirt, leaves as not to be tracked into spa).
•The closeness to trees and shrubbery (leaves and birds could create extra work).
•A sheltered environment (less wind, weather exposure resulting in lowered operation and maintenance costs).
•The overall enhancement of your environment. It is preferable not to place the spa under an unguttered roof
overhang since run-off water will shorten the life expectancy of spa cover.
Indoor Location
Be sure your spa will fit into the space you have chosen. Proper access into the home is needed to move the spa into
place. Ventilation may be needed because of the humidity from the spa. In most cases, a spa cover is sufficient.
Though most homes meet the requirement of 80lbs per square foot, be sure to check the load carrying capabilities of the
floor you will be installing your spa on (manufacturer not responsible). Insure you have proper drainage in the event of a
leak or water spill due to over load of spa with people causing water damage (manufacturer not responsible.) In case of
maintenance problems leave enough room around the spa to work. Choose proper flooring area for spa.
