Important Safety Instructions for all Spa Owners

READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY!
This spa was manufactured to meet the standards and specifications
outlined in the "Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act" (VGB
Safety Act). When installing and using this spa, basic safety precautions
should always be followed, including:
DANGER:
!
1.
• Extreme caution must be exercised to prevent unauthorized access
by children.
• To avoid accidents, ensure that children do not use this spa unless
supervised at all times. Adult supervision is a critical safety factor in
preventing children from drowning.
• Use the straps and clip tie downs to secure the spa cover when not
in use. This will help discourage unsupervised children from entering
the spa. Keep the spa cover secure in high-wind conditions.
• There is no representation that the cover, clip tie-downs, or actual
locks will prevent access to the spa.
DANGER:
!
2.
• 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 spa unless all suction guards, filter, filter lid, or
skimmer assembly are installed to prevent body and/or hair
entrapment.
• Never operate or use the spa 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 spa 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.
• 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.
DANGER:
