Hyperthermia

Prolonged immersion in hot water may induce hyperthermia (over-
heating). The use of alcohol or drugs can greatly increase the risk of fatal
hyperthermia in spas. A description of the causes, symptoms, and effects
of hyperthermia are as follows:
Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches
a level several degrees above the normal body temperature of 98.6°F
(37°C). The symptoms of hyperthermia include drowsiness, lethargy
(fatigue), and an increase in the internal temperature of the body (feeling
of being too hot). The effects of hyperthermia include:
• Unawareness of impending hazard;
• Failure to perceive heat;
• Failure to recognize the need to exit spa;
• Physical inability to exit spa;
• Fetal damage in pregnant women; and
• Unconsciousness and DANGER of drowning.
A Warning Sign is provided in your warranty packet. Please install at
a location near your spa, where it is visible to users of the spa. For
additional or replacement Warning Signs please contact your local
Sundance spas dealer and reference item number #6530-082.

always be followed, including the following:
1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
2. A green colored terminal or a terminal marked G, Gr, Ground,
Grounding or the

be connected to the grounding means provided in the electric supply
service panel with a continuous copper wire equivalent in size to the
circuit conductors that supply this equipment (*IEC Publication 417,
Symbol 5019).
3. At least two lugs marked "Bonding Lugs" are provided on the external
surface or on the inside of the supply terminal box/compartment. To
reduce the risk of electric shock, connect the local common bonding
grid in the area of the spa to these terminals with an insulated or bare
copper conductor not smaller than No. 6 AWG (10 mm²).
4. All field-installed metal components such as rails, ladders, drains
or other similar hardware within 10 feet (3m) of the spa shall be
