keep the power cord away from lawn mowers,
hedge trimmers, and other similar equipment.
22. WARNING—The power cord is equipped with
a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI),
located at the end of the power cord. The
GFCI must be tested before each use. To test
the GFCI, press the "test" button while the
hydrotherapy spa is running. The spa should
shut off. Press the "reset" button. The spa
should resume normal operation. If the spa
continues to run after the "test" button is
pressed, the GFCI is damaged. Do not use
the spa until the GFCI has been repaired or
replaced by a qualified electrician.
23. DANGER—Risk of electric shock. Keep all
electrical appliances such as radios, tele-
phones, televisions, and lights at least five
feet away from the water.
24. A wire connector is provided on the pump
motor of the hydrotherapy spa to connect a
minimum No. 8 AWG (804 mm
conductor between the spa and any metal
equipment, electrical enclosure made of
metal, metal water pipes, or conduit within
five feet of the spa.
25. DANGER—Risk of electric shock: Do not set
up the hydrotherapy spa within five feet of
any metal objects or surfaces. As an alterna-
tive, you may use the spa within five feet of
metal objects if each metal object is perma-
nently connected to the wire connector on
the pump motor of this unit by a minimum
No. 8 AWG (804 mm
(see instruction 24).
26. Do not operate the pump motor when the
hydrotherapy spa is empty. The pump motor
may be seriously damaged if it is operated
without water circulating.
27. DANGER—Risk of drowning: Exercise
extreme caution to prevent unauthorized and
unsupervised use of the hydrotherapy spa by
children. Children must always be super-
vised.
28. DANGER—To reduce the risk of drowning:
• Never use the hydrotherapy spa alone.
• Children should not use the spa unless
they are supervised by an adult.
• Keep pets away from the spa at all times.
• Always replace and lock the spa cover
when the spa is not in use.
29. WARNING—To reduce the risk of injury: The

water temperature should never exceed
104°F. Temperatures between 100°F and
104°F are considered to be safe for healthy
adults. However, if you plan to remain in the
hydrotherapy spa for more than 10 to 15 min-
utes, a lower temperature is recommended.
Lower temperatures are also recommended
for children. Children should not be allowed
to swim under the surface of the water in the
spa.
30. WARNING—To reduce the risk of injury:
Always use an accurate thermometer to
determine the water temperature before
using the hydrotherapy spa.
31. WARNING—To reduce the risk of injury:
Pregnant women should consult with their
physician before using the hydrotherapy spa.
Pregnant women should not use the spa if
the water temperature is above 100°F; the
unborn child could be seriously harmed. This
is especially important during the first 90
days of the pregnancy.
32. DANGER—To reduce the risk of drowning:
Prolonged immersion in the hydrotherapy
spa may cause hyperthermia, a dangerous
condition that occurs when the internal body
temperature rises several degrees above the
normal body temperature of 98.6°F. The
symptoms of hyperthermia are nausea, dizzi-
ness, drowsiness, and fainting. Effects
include: a lack of awareness, inability to per-
ceive heat or danger, and a greater risk of
drowning due to a loss of consciousness.
Special note: Individuals suffering from
hyperthermia may be unable to realize that
they must exit the spa, and they also may be
physically unable to do so.
33. WARNING—To reduce the risk of drowning:
Do not use the hydrotherapy spa if you are
under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Heat
from the water, in conjunction with alcohol or
drugs, can cause loss of consciousness.
34. WARNING—To reduce the risk of injury or
drowning: Consult your physician about pos-
sible side-effects of any medications you
may be taking before using the hydrotherapy
spa. Heat from the water, in conjunction with
some medications may cause drowsiness
and increase the risk of drowning. Other
medications can effect blood pressure, heart
rate and circulation.
35. Do not use the hydrotherapy spa immediate-
ly after strenuous exercise.
