DANGER:
!
BY ENTRAPMENT!
• Keep hair, loose articles of clothing or hanging jewelry away
from suction fittings, rotating jets or other moving components to
avoid entrapment that could lead to drowning or severe injury.
• Never use the hot tub unless all suction guards, filter, filter lid,
or skimmer assembly are installed to prevent body and/or hair
entrapment.
• Never operate or use the hot tub if the filter, filter lid, or skimmer
assembly are broken or any part of the skimmer assembly is
missing. Please contact your dealer or nearest service center
for service.
• The suction fittings and suction covers in this hot tub are sized
to match the specific water flow created by the pump(s). If it
is necessary to replace the suction fittings, suction covers or
pump(s), be sure that the flow rates are compatible and are in
compliance with the VGB Safety Act, page 6.
• Never replace a suction fitting or suction cover with one rated
less than the flow rate marked on the original suction fitting.
Using improper suction fittings or suction covers can create
a body or hair suction entrapment hazard that may lead to
drowning or severe injury.
• Owners must alert all hot tub users to the potential risk of Hair,
Limb, Body, Evisceration (disembowelment), and Mechanical
Entrapment, page 6.
