Important Safety Instructions

READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS .

WARNING:
To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to
use this product unless they are closely supervised
at all times.
DANGER -- Risk of accidental drowning:
Do not allow children to be in or around a spa unless
a responsible adult supervises them. Keep the spa
cover on and locked when not in use. See instructions
enclosed with your cover for locking procedures.
DANGER -- Risk of electric shock:
Install the spa at least 5 feet (1.5 meters) from all
metal surfaces. As an alternative, a spa may be in-
stalled within 5 feet of metal surfaces if each metal
surface is permanently bonded by a minimum #8
AWG solid copper conductor to the outside of the
spa's control box.
WARNING -- To reduce the risk of injury:
The spa water should never exceed 104˚F (40˚C).
Water temperatures between 100˚F (38˚C) and
104˚F (40˚C) are considered safe for a healthy adult.
Lower water temperatures are recommended for
young children and when spa use exceeds 10 min-
utes.
High water temperatures have a high potential for
causing fetal damage during pregnancy. Women who
are pregnant, or who think they are pregnant, should
always check with their physician prior to spa usage.
HYPERTHERMIA DANGER:
Prolonged exposure to hot air or water can induce
hyperthermia. Hyperthermia occurs when the inter-
nal temperature of the body reaches a level 3˚F to
6˚F above the normal body temperature of 98.6˚F
(or 2˚C to 4˚C above 37˚C). While hyperthermia
has many health benefi ts, it is important not to allow
your body's core temperature to rise above 103˚F
(39.5˚C).
Symptoms of excessive hyperthermia include dizzi-
ness, lethargy, drowsiness and fainting. The effects
of excessive hyperthermia may include:

DANGER -- Risk of injury:
The suction fi ttings in this spa are sized to match
the specifi c water fl ow created by the pump. Should
the need arise to replace the suction fi ttings, or the
pump, be sure the fl ow rates are compatible.
Never operate the spa if the suction fi tting or fi lter
baskets are broken or missing. Never replace a suc-
tion fi tting with one that is rated less than the fl ow
rate marked on the original suction fi tting.
DANGER -- Risk of electric shock:
Do not permit any external electrical appliances,
such as lights, telephones, radios, televisions, and
etc., within fi ve feet (1.5 meters) of the spa. Never
attempt to operate any electrical device from inside
the spa.
The use of alcohol, drugs or medication before or
during spa use may lead to unconsciousness, with
the possibility of drowning.
Persons suffering from obesity, a medical history of
heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory
system problems or diabetes should consult a physi-
cian before using the spa.
Persons using medications should consult a physician
before using the spa since some medications may
induce drowsiness while others may affect heart rate,
blood pressure and circulation.
