IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Before taking your first air-whirlpool bath, be sure that you are familiar with all the controls and switches [See
BATHSIDE CONTROL SYSTEMS starting on page 15.] and that the unit is operating properly. [See INSTRUCTIONS start-
ing on page 4.]
1. The water in a bath tub should never exceed 40° C (104º F). Water temperature between 38º C (100º F) and 40º C
(104º F) are considered safe for a healthy adult. Bathing time should be limited to approximately 30 minutes, followed
by a shower to cool down. Longer exposure may result in hyperthermia. The symptoms of this condition are nausea,
dizziness and fainting, which can be fatal. Lower water temperatures are recommended for extended use (exceeding
10-15 minutes) and for young children.
2. If you will not be operating the bath system during your bath, you may fill the bathtub to any comfortable level.
However, if you will operate the system, you must fill the bathtub as described in the section entitled FINAL SYSTEM
TEST & CLEAN-UP on page 14. This will assure proper operation of the system.
3. A few important bathing "DONT'S"-
DO NOT operate the air-whirlpool bath system if:
• The bathtub isn't filled to required levels above air channels and/or jets.
• You're pregnant (until you've consulted your doctor).
• You're taking medications or drugs that may make you drowsy.
• You're drinking any form of alcohol.
• You've just had a meal. Wait for 30 minutes after eating.
• There is a child in the bathtub who may be left unattended at any time. Never allow small children to remain
unattended in any bathtub.
• There are any small objects in the bathtub. The air-whirlpool action can move small objects at high speeds,
causing pain and possible injury.
• You're smoking. The heat of burning tobacco can damage the bathtub surface. Keep tobacco products and
ashtrays away from the bathtub.
• You have problems with your immunity system (until you have consulted your doctor).
• Never operate electrical appliances (television, hair dryer, radio, telephone, etc.) inside or within five feet (5') of
the bath.
• You are using additional attachments and/or equipment not recommended by the manufacturer.
• You have a medical history of heart disease, low or high blood pressure,
circulatory system problems, or diabetes, consult with a physician before using an air-whirlpool.
• You are under the influence of drugs, anticoagulants, stimulants, antihistamines, vasoconstrictors, vasodilators,
hypnotics, narcotics, or tranquilizers.
