  • Page 5: Important Spa Owner Information

    1.0 Important Spa Owner Information Your Jacuzzi® spa is constructed to the highest standards and is capable of providing many years of trouble-free use. However, because heat retentive materials are utilized to insulate the spa for efficient operation, an uncovered spa surface directly exposed to sunlight and high tempera- tures for an extended period is subject to permanent damage.

  • Page 6: Important Safety Instructions

    2.0 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precau- tions 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.
  • Page 7 be readily accessible and visible to the spa occupant but installed at least 5 feet (1.5m), from the spa water. 8. WARNING: To Reduce the Risk of Injury: 9. The water in a spa should never exceed 104°F (40°C). Water temperatures between 100°F (38°C) and 104°F (40°C) are consid- ered safe for a healthy adult.
  • Page 8 1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS. 2. A green colored terminal or a terminal marked G, Gr, Ground, Grounding or the symbol* is located inside the supply terminal box or compartment. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this terminal must 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.

  • Page 10 CAUTIONS 1. Persons suffering from heart disease, diabetes, high or low blood pressure, and any condition requiring medical treatment, pregnant women, the elderly, or infants should consult with a physician before using a spa. 2. The Consumer Products Safety Commission/USA has stated that the water temperature in a spa should not exceed 104°F (40°C).

  • Page 11: Choosing A Location

    3.0 Choosing A Location IMPORTANT: Because of the combined weight of the spa, water and users, it is extremely important that the base upon which the spa rests be smooth, flat, level and capable of uniformly supporting this weight, without shifting or settling, for the entire time the spa is in place. If the spa is placed on a surface which does not meet these requirements, damage to the skirt and/or the spa shell may result.
  • Page 12 • Proper Foundation: Consult a Structural Engineer when consider- ing a foundation that will adequately support the spa the entire time it is in place. Proper support is critical especially if the spa is to rest on a second story or higher. For spas that are to rest on balconies, roofs or other platforms not specifically tied into the main structural support, you should consult a professional Structural Engineer with experience in this type of application.
