Entrapment Risk

The Consumer Products Safety Commission/USA has reported that
users of pools and spas have become entrapped (stuck) to drain and/or
suction fittings causing death, drowning, or serious injury (see diagram
below). This spa was manufactured to meet the standards and specifica-
tions outlined in the "Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act"
(VGB Safety Act). Entrapment risk can be minimized if proper precau-
tions are taken.
DANGER:
!
Never operate the spa if a suction fitting, suction cover, filter,
filter lid or skimmer assembly are broken, damaged or miss-
ing.
Note: Suction covers must be replaced every 5 years.
