IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
READ ALL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Warning — Risk of injury: Children, the elderly, and the
infirm should not use the spa unless they are supervised at all
times. Infants should not be permitted in the spa at water
temperatures over 100°F (38°C).
Spa water temperatures in excess of 104°F are not
recommended. High water temperatures in excess of 104°F
(40°C) and prolonged periods of use can raise internal human
body temperature excessively and impair the body's ability to
regulate its internal temperature.
Pregnant women and people with heart circulatory prob-
lems, or diabetes, should consult their physicians before using
the spa at water temperatures over 100°F (38°C).
Limit your initial use of the spa to 10 –15 minutes. High
body temperatures affect people differently; consult your
physician about your safety and comfort before using the spa.
If your spa product does not have a thermometer, we
recommend that you use a medical (clinical) thermometer for
an accurate measurement of spa water temperatures. Other
types of thermometers generally available, such as those
used for swimming pools, are not sufficiently accurate to
determine spa water temperatures.
Extra care should be taken when using the spa and
consuming alcoholic beverages. Alcohol, drugs, or certain
medications, such as tranquilizers, affect a person's ability to
withstand high temperatures and may produce dangerous
effects, including drowning. Persons using medication should
consult with a physician before using a spa.
Danger — Risk of injury: Do not remove the suction grille!
It is a safety device and must always be in place on the suction
fitting to minimize the potential hazard of hair entanglement or
body entrapment.
Keep body, hair, and clothing a minimum of 12 inches
away from suction fitting and skimmers at all times when the
spa is operating. Hair longer than shoulder length should be
secured close to the head, or a bathing cap should be worn.
Do not operate the spa if the suction cover is broken or
missing. Contact your Dealer for replacement cover if broken
or missing.
20 AMP RECEPTACLE
Your spa must be installed in a 115VAC, 20 AMP circuit:
1. The spa is supplied with a 15 foot line cord which
terminates with an integral GFCI plug. Locate the spa near to
a weather-protected outlet, but no closer than 10 feet. DO NOT
USE AN EXTENSION CORD! Using an extension cord is
hazardous and will decrease the amount of power to the unit,

DANGER — Risk of child drowning: Do not permit children
to use this product unless they are closely supervised. Use a
locked cover to prevent unattended access.
DANGER — RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK: When install-
ing and operating this electrical equipment, always follow
basic safety precautions including the following.
Warning: A wire connector is provided at the electrical cabinet
on this spa to connect a minimum No. 8 AWG (8.4 MM
copper conductor between this spa and any metal equipment,
metal enclosures of electrical equipment, metal water pipe, or
conduit within 5 feet (1.5 m) of the spa.
sion, radio, or stereo speakers, lights, cooking devices, or
telephones within 5 feet (1.5 m) of the spa while the spa is being
used. Lighting fixtures must not be located directly above or
within 5 feet (1.5 m) of the spa. If located within 10 feet (3.0 m)
of the spa, they must be on a circuit protected by a Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI).
