IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
Read manufacturer’s safety information provided with all optional equipment.
Warning Risk of injury: Children, the elderly,
and the infirm should not use the spa unless they are super-
vised at all times. Infants should not be permitted in the spa
at water temperatures over 100° F (38°C).
Spa water temperature in excess of 104° F is not recom-
mended. High water temperatures in excess of 104° F (40° C)
and prolonged periods of use can raise internal human body
temperature excessively and impair the body’s ability to regu-
late its internal temperature.
Pregnant women and people with heart circulatory condi-
tions, or diabetes, should consult their physicians before using
the spa at water temperatures over 100° F (38° C).
Limit your initial use of the spa to 10-15 minutes. High
body temperatures affect people differently; consult your
physician about your safety and comfort before using the spa.
If your spa product does not have a thermometer, we
recommend that you use a medical (clinical) type thermometer
for an accurate measurement of spa water temperatures.
Other types of thermometer, generally available, such as
those used for swimming pools are not sufficiently accurate to
determine spa water temperature.
Extra care should be taken when using the spa and
consuming alcoholic beverages. Alcohol, drugs, or certain
medications, such as tranquilizers, affect a person’s ability to
withstand high temperatures and may produce dangerous
effects, including drowning. Persons using medication should
consult with a physician before using a spa.
Danger Risk of injury: Do not remove the suction grille!
It is a safety device and must always be in place on the suction
fitting to minimize the potential hazard of hair entanglement or
body entrapment.
Keep body, hair, and clothing a minimum of 12 inches
away from suction fitting and skimmers at all times when the
spa is operating. Hair longer than shoulder length should be
secured close to the head, or a bathing cap should be worn.
Do not operate the spa if the suction cover is broken or
missing. Contact your Dealer for replacement cover if broken
or missing.
The wet surface of the spa is slippery. Use care when
entering and exiting.
DANGER Risk of child drowning: Do not permit children
to use this product unless they are closely supervised. The
use of a locked cover is highly recommended to prevent
unattended access.
DANGER RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK: When install-
ing and operating this electrical equipment, basic safety pre-
cautions should always be adhered to including the following.
Warning: A wire connector is provided at the electrical
cabinet on this spa to connect a minimum No. 8 AWG (8.4
mm
2
) solid copper conductor between this spa and any metal
equipment, metal enclosures of electrical equipment, metal
water pipe, or conduit within 5 feet (1.5 m) of the spa.
Do not use electrically connected devices such as televi-
sion, radio, or stereo speakers, lights, cooking devices, or
telephones within 5 feet (1.5 m) of the spa while the spa is
being used. Lighting fixtures must not be located directly
above or within 5 feet (1.5 m) of the spa. If located within 10
feet (3.0 m) of the spa, they must be on a circuit protected by
a GFCI (Ground Fault Interrupter Circuit).
All fixed metal objects located within 5 feet of the spa,
such as fence posts, railings, door frames, greenhouse struc-
tures, gutters, etc., must be attached to the bonding bar on the
outside of the spa electrical cabinet using #8 solid copper wire.
With #8 solid copper wire, bond the spa to the house
electrical panel or approved local bond.
The spa must be installed with adequate access and
water drainage system, refer to Installation Instructions, to
drain water away from electrical components.
CAUTION: Do not turn power ON to the spa unless it is filled
with water to the normal water level, which is to the water level
indicator mark on the skimmer frame. Activating the spa when
there is an insufficient amount of water can damage the
circulation pump and may cause a fire.
1. The spa is supplied with a 15 foot line cord which
terminates with an integral GFCI plug. Locate the spa near
enough to a weather protected outlet, but no closer than 10
feet. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD! Using an
extension cord is hazardous and will decrease the amount of
power to the unit, causing slow heating, poor whirlpool perfor-
mance, or system malfunction.
2. Replace damaged line cord immediately. Do not bury
line cord. Connect to a grounded, grounding type receptacle
only.
3. Bring the line cord out from under the skirt. Remove
access panel screws to gain access. Make sure the line cord
does not lie across a walkway or in a heavily traveled area
where it may be a safety hazard or become damaged.
4. At initial start-up and before each use thereafter, test
the GFCI. With power ON, the indicator light should be on. If
not, press RESET and light should come on. Then press TEST
button - light must go OFF. Press RESET for use. If the
interrupter fails to operate in this manner, there is a ground
current flowing or a device malfunctioning, indicating the
possibility of electrical shock. Turn off power and do not use
the spa until the source of the breakdown has been
identified and corrected.
