other drugs. Use of the hot tub under these conditions may lead to
serious consequences.
5. Always test the hot tub water temperature before entering the hot tub.
Enter and exit the hot tub slowly. Wet surfaces can be very slippery.
6. Never bring any electrical appliances into or near the hot tub. Never
operate any electrical appliances from inside the hot tub or when you
are wet.
7. Proper chemical maintenance of hot tub water is necessary to
maintain safe water and prevent possible damage to hot tub compo-
nents.
8. Use the hot tub straps and clip tie downs to secure the cover when
not in use. This will help to discourage unsupervised children from
entering the hot tub and keep the hot tub cover secure in high-wind
conditions. There is no representation that the cover, clip tie downs,
or actual locks will prevent access to the hot tub.
IMPORTANT: Because of the combined weight of the hot tub, water and
users, it is extremely important that the base upon which the hot tub rests
be smooth, flat, level and capable of uniformly supporting this weight,
without shifting or settling, for the entire time the hot tub is in place. If the
hot tub is placed on a surface which does not meet these requirements,
damage to the skirt and/or the hot tub shell may result. Damage caused
by improper support is not covered under warranty. It is the responsibility
of the hot tub owner to assure the integrity of the support over time.
We recommend a poured, reinforced concrete slab (minimum of 4 inches
thick). Wood decking is also acceptable provided it is constructed so that
it meets the requirements outlined above.
The hot tub must be installed in such a manner as to provide drainage
away from the hot tub. Placing the hot tub in a depression without pro-
visions for proper drainage could allow rain, overflow and other casual
water to flood the equipment and create a wet condition in which it would
sit.
For hot tubs which will be recessed into a floor or deck, install so as to
permit access to the equipment, either from above or below, for servicing.
Make certain that there are no obstructions which would prevent removal
of the cabinet side panels, especially on the side with the equipment bay
doors.
