IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO A RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR INJURY TO PERSONS
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS!
!
WARNING: Risk of personal injury. Do not permit children to use this unit without adult supervision.
!
WARNING: Risk of personal injury. Do not operate this unit without the guard over the suction fitting.
!
WARNING: Risk of electric shock. Do not permit electrical appliances (hair dryer, telephone, radio, etc.)
within 60 inches (1524mm) of this unit.
!
WARNING: Risk of hyperthermia and possible drowning. People using medications and/or having ad-
verse medical history should consult a physician before using this product.
!
WARNING: Risk of personal injury. Do not overfill unit before entering. Entering tub when filled more than
2/3 can cause overflow and slippery conditions. Exercise caution when entering and exiting.
!
WARNING: No Food or Alcoholic Beverages. Use of your bathtub immediately after meals is not
recommended. Avoid alcohol consumption before or during bathing. Alcoholic beverages can
cause drowsiness or hyperthermia resulting in loss of consciousness or even drowning.
!
WARNING: Pregnancy. If you are or think you may be pregnant, consult your physician before using
the bathtub.
Never drop or insert any object into any opening.
Use this unit only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use any attachments not
recommended by American Standard.
The unit must be connected only to a supply circuit that is properly protected by a ground-fault
circuit-interrupter (GFCI). Such a GFCI should be provided by the installer and should be tested on a routine
basis. To test the GFCI, push the test button. The GFCI should interrupt power. Push the reset button. Power
should be restored. If the GFCI fails to operate in this manner, the GFCI is defective. If the GFCI interrupts power
to the bathtub without the test button being pushed, a ground current is flowing, indicating the possibility of an
electric shock. Do not use this hydromassage bathtub. Disconnect the hydromassage bathtub and have the
problem corrected by a licensed electrician before using.
A pressure wire connector is provided on the exterior of the motor unit to permit connection of a no. 8 AWG
solid copper bonding conductor between this unit and all other electrical equipment and exposed metal in the
vicinity, as needed to comply with local requirements. To reduce the risk of an electric shock, connect this con-
nector to the grounding terminal of your electric service or supply panel with a conductor equivalent in size to
the circuit conductors supplying this unit.
