WARNING - RISK OF CHILD DROWNING. Extreme caution must be exercised to
prevent unauthorized access by children. To avoid accidents, ensure that
children cannot use a spa or hot tub unless they are supervised at all times.
DANGER To reduce the risk of injury to persons, do not remove suction fittings.
Spa location must accommodate sufficient drainage of water around the base of the
structure, as well as the power source compartment.
Prolonged immersion in water that is warmer than normal body temperature can
result in a dangerous condition known as HYPERTHERMIA. The causes,
symptoms, and effects of hyperthermia may be described as follows:
Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a level
several degrees above the normal body temperature of 98.6BF. The symptoms
of hyperthermia include dizziness, fainting, drowsiness, lethargy, and an
increase in the internal temperature of the body. The effects of hyperthermia
include (1) unawareness of impending hazard, (2) failure to perceive heat, (3)
failure to recognize the need to exit spa, (4) physical inability to exit spa, (5)
fetal damage in pregnant women, (6) unconsciousness resulting in danger of
drowning. WARNING The use of alcohol, drugs or medication can greatly
increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia in hot tubs and spas.
DANGER To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product
unless they are closely supervised at all times.
The water in a spa or hot tub should never exceed 104BF (40BC). Water
temperatures between 100BF (38BC) and 104BF (40BC) are considered safe for a
healthy adult. Lower water temperatures are recommended for extended use
(exceeding 10-15 minutes) and for young children.
Excessive water temperatures have a high potential for causing fetal damage during
the early months of pregnancy. Pregnant or possibly pregnant women should
limit spa or hot tub water temperatures to 100BF(38BC).
To reduce the risk of injury:
A pressure wire connector is provided on the control box to permit connection of a
solid copper bonding conductor between this point and any equipment, metal
enclosures of electrical equipment, metal water pipe, or conduit within 5 feet
(1.5m) of the unit as needed to comply with local requirements.
DANGER - RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. Install at least 5 feet (1.5m) from all
metal surfaces. (A spa may be installed within 5 feet of metal surfaces if each
metal surface is permanently connected by a solid copper conductor attached to
the wire connector on the terminal box that is provided for this purpose. Refer
to NEC and local codes in effect at the time of installation.)
Bond accessible metal to the dedicated connector on the equipment grounding bus,
bond the equipment ground bus to the local common bonding grid as part of
the installation in the form of (1) a reinforced concrete slab for support, (2) a
ground plate provided beneath the hot tub or spa, or (3) a permanent ground
connection that is acceptable to the local inspection authority.
DANGER RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. Do not permit any electrical appliance,
such as a light, telephone, radio, or television, within 5 feet (1.5m) of a spa or
hot tub.

WARNING To reduce the risk of electrical shock, replace damaged cord immediately.
For Permanently Installed Units
For Cord and Plug Connected Units
Do not bury the cord.
Connect to a grounded, grounding type receptacle only. NEVER connect the spa to an
extension cord.
This appliance is provided with a ground-fault-circuit-interrupter located on the control box.
Before each use and with the unit operating, push the test button. The unit should
stop operating and the reset button should appear. Push the reset button. The unit
should now operate normally. If the interrupter does not perform in this manner, a
ground current is flowing indicating the possibility of electrical shock. Disconnect the
power, or unplug from receptacle, until the fault has been identified and corrected.
Persons suffering from obesity or with a medical history of heart disease, low or high blood
pressure, circulatory system problems, or diabetes should consult a physician before
using a spa or hot tub.
Persons using medication should consult a physician before using a spa or hot tub since
some medication may affect heart rate, blood pressure, and circulation.
For Units with a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter)
Before entering the spa or hot tub, the user should measure the water temperature with an
accurate thermometer.
The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication before or during spa or hot tub use may lead to
unconsciousness with the possibility of drowning.
To reduce the risk of drowning from hair and body entrapment, install a suction fitting(s)
with a marked flow rate in gallons-per-minute that equals or exceeds the flow rate
marked on the equipment assembly.
Install at least 5 feet (1.5m) from tub water using nonmetallic plumbing. Install blower no
less than 1 foot (305mm) above the maximum water level to prevent water from
contacting electrical equipment. Install in accordance with the installation instructions.
For UL Listed Equipment Assemblies
WARNING - Do not install indoors. This unit uses a gas heater that requires proper
ventilation and is intended for outdoor use only.
A terminal marked “G” or “ground” is provided in the wiring box located inside the
equipment compartment. To reduce the risk of electric shock, connect the terminal or
connector to the grounding terminal of your electrical service or supply panel with a
continuous green insulated copper wire in accordance with National Electric Code
Table 250-95 and any other local codes in effect at the time of the installation.
For Units with Gas Heaters
For Permanently Installed Units not Provided with an Internal Disconnecting Method
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 422-30 of the
National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 1987. The disconnecting means must be
readily accessible to the tub occupant but installed at least 5 feet (1.5m) from the tub
water.
