IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including:
Risk of Accidental Drowning. Extreme caution must be exercised to prevent unauthorized access by
children. To avoid accidents, ensure that children cannot use this spa unless they are supervised at
all times.
Risk of Serious Injury or Death. 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 are broken or missing. Never replace a suction fitting
with one rated less than the flow rate marked on the original suction fitting.
Risk of Electric Shock. Install at least 5 FEET (1.5 m), 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 (8.4 mm2) solid copper conductor attached to the wire connector on the
grounding lug, inside the equipment compartment on the equipment can.
Risk of Electric Shock. Do not permit any electrical appliance, such as a light, telephone, radio,
television, etc. within 5 feet (1.5 m) of a spa.
The electrical supply for this spa must include a suitably rated switch or circuit breaker to open all
ungrounded supply conductors to comply with section 680-42 of the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70-1993. The disconnect must be readily accessible and visible to the spa occupant but
installed at least 5 feet (1.5 m), from the spa water.
To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this spa unless they are closely
supervised at all times.
A grounding wire connector is provided on this spa to connect a minimum No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm2)
solid copper conductor between this unit and any metal equipment, metal enclosures of electrical
equipment, metal water pipe, or conduit within 5 feet (1.5 m) of the spa.
To Reduce the Risk of Injury: The water in a spa should never exceed 104° F (40° C). Water
temperatures between 100° F (38° C) and 104° F (40° C) are considered safe for a healthy adult.
Lower water temperatures are recommended for young children and when spa use exceeds 10
minutes.
To Reduce the Risk of Injury:
Since 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 water temperatures to
100° F (38° C).
