IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety pre-
cautions should always be followed, including the following:
READ AND FOLLOW
ALL INSTRUCTIONS
1. WARNING:To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit
children to use this product unless they are closely supervised
at all times. Keep spa cover locked when not in use.
2. A wire connector is provided on this unit to connect a minimum
No. 8 AWG (8.4mm2) solid copper conductor between this
unit and any metal equipment, metal water pipe or conduit
within 5 feet (1.5m) of the unit.
3. DANGER:Risk of Injury. The suction fittings in this spa are
sized to match the specific 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 the spa if the suction fittings arebroken or missing.
Never replace a suction fitting with one rated less than the flow
rate marked on the original fitting.
4. DANGER:Risk of Accidental Drowning. Extreme Caution
must be exercised to prevent unauthorized access by children.
Toavoid accidents, insurethat children cannot use this spa
unless they are supervised at all times.
5. DANGER:Risk of Electric Shock. Install at least 5 feet (1.5m)
from all metal surfaces. As an alternative, a spa may be
installed within 5 feet of metal surfaces if each metal surface is
permanently connected by a minimum No. 8 AWG (8.4mm2)
solid copper conductor to the wire connector on the terminal
box that is provided for this purpose.

6. DANGER:Risk of Electric Shock. Do not permit any
electrical appliance, such as a light, telephone, radio or
television within 5 feet (1.5m) of a spa.
7. WARNING:To Reduce the Risk of Injury:
a) Before using your spa you should check the water
temperature with a thermometer that is known to be
accurate. The water temperaturein a spa should never
exceed 104°F (40°C). A water temperature of 104°F is
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 injury during the early months of pregnancy,
pregnant or possibly pregnant women should limit spa water
temperature to 100°F (38°C).
c) The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication before or during
spa use may lead to unconsciousness with the possibility of
drowning.
d) 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.
e) Persons using medication should consult a physician before
using a spa since some medication may induce drowsiness
while other medications may affect heartrate, blood
pressureand circulation.
8. The causes, symptoms and affects of hyperthermia may be
described as follows:
Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperatureof the body
reaches a level several degrees above the normal temperature
of 98.6°F. The symptoms of hyperthermia include an increase
in the internal temperatureof the body,dizziness, lethargy,
drowsiness and fainting.
The effects of hyperthermia include:
•Failureto feel heat
•Failure to recognize the need to exit the spa
3

•Unawareness of impending hazards
•Fetal injury in pregnant women
•Physical inability to exit the spa or hot tub
•Unconsciousness resulting in the potential of drowning
9. WARNING:The use of alcohol, drugs or medication can
greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia. If you suspect
hyperthermia, immediately get medical help, lay the victim on
their back with the head slightly elevated for easier breathing,
cover the body with a blanket and apply ice packs to the
head.
10. Never touch or come in contact with any electrical accessory
when in your spa or when your body is wet.
11. Prior to performing any service to the spa pack, turn off ALL
power to the system at the main power source breaker.
NOTE: A READILY ACCESSIBLE DISCONNECTING MEANS
SHALL BE PROVIDED DURING INSTALLATION.

PERSONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. Please use the spa when others are present.
2. Children should have spa access only with the permission and
supervision of an adult.
3. To reduce the risk of child drowning, keep the spa filter clean
and unclogged. Do not modify the suction or filtration
systems.
4. Exercise caution when entering or leaving the spa. When
moving or changing positions, be sure of your footing before
applying your full weight as water refraction can be
misleading.
5. Do not stay in the spa for extended periods of time. Set a
reasonable time limit after which you leave the spa, cool
down, take a shower, relax and then return for another stay in
the spa.
