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:

!
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.

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.
