Important Safety Instructions:
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions
should always be followed, including:
1) WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product unless they are
closely supervised at all times.
2) WARNING: A grounding wire connector is provided on this unit to connect a minimum No. 8
AWG solid copper conductor (USA) No. 6 AWG stranded (Canada) 8.4mm (Europe) 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 unit.
3) DANGER: Risk of Accidental Drowning. Extreme caution must be exercised to prevent unautho-
rized access by children. To avoid accidents, ensure that children cannot use this hot tub unless they are
supervised at all times. Use the hot tub straps, cover safety and clip tie downs to secure the cover when
not in use. This will help to discourage unsupervised children from entering the hot tub. There is no
representation that the cover, clip tie downs, or actual locks will prevent access to the hot tub.
4) DANGER: Risk of Injury. The suction fittings in this hot tub 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 hot tub if the suction fittings are broken or miss-
ing. Consult your local dealer for assistance in choosing an appropriate replacement
suction fitting.
