  • Page 4: Risk Of Injury

    Fastlane Swim Unit Installation ® TO REDUCE THE RISK OF DROWNING Prolonged immersion in high temperature water can cause hyperthermia. Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body is several degrees higher than the normal 98.6°F (37°C). The symptoms of hyperthermia include dizziness, lethargy, drowsiness, and fainting.
  • Page 5 When pumped at high pressure, this hydraulic fluid creates a swim current by turning the shaft of a submerged stainless steel hydraulic motor in the Fastlane Swim Unit, which in turn rotates a 16" (40,6cm) diameter propeller. The Power Unit is activated using a 3-button radio frequency remote control that can turn the unit on and off and adjust the speed.
  • Page 6 The Fastlane can fit in virtually any swimming pool. For optimal water flow, we recommend that you allow at least 12 feet (3,7m) between the wall on which the Fastlane is installed and the opposing wall in line with the Swim Unit. The Fastlane has more than 9 square feet (.83m2) of water intake to eliminate any entrap- ment hazards.
