Congratulations!
Your choice of a Coyote Spa indicates that you are devoted to excellence. The management and staff appreciate your patronage. At Coyote Spas™ we believe a good foundation is required to build a superior product, both in design and philosophy.
Canadian built with the finest materials and advanced technology, Coyote Spas™ are made to perform...wherever you happen to live. To safely and effectively utilize your spa, we recommend that you take the time to read this manual before you hook-up and operate the spa. This guide will acquaint you with the operating features, hook-up procedures, and the maintenance and safety procedures, ensuring an enjoyable experience right from the start.
If you require additional information, please call your local Coyote Spas™ dealer or check our website at www.coyotespas.com.
IMPORTANT!
In most cities and counties, permits will be required for the installation of electrical circuits or the construction of exterior surfaces (decks and gazebos). In addition, some communities have adopted residential barrier codes which may require fencing and/or self-closing gates on the property to prevent unsupervised access to a pool (or spa) by children under 5 years of age. Your Coyote Spa is equipped with a locking cover that meets the ASTM F1346-91 Standard for Safety Covers and as a result, is usually exempt from most barrier requirements. As a general practice, your local Building Department will inform you of any applicable barrier requirements at the time a permit is obtained for the installation of an electrical circuit. Your Coyote Spas™ Dealer can provide information on which permits may be required.

9)WARNING: To Reduce the Risk of Injury:
a)The water in a hot tub should never exceed 40°C (104ºF). Water temperatures between 38°C and 40°C (100°F to 104°F) are considered safe for a healthy adult. Lower water temperatures are recommended for young children and when hot tub use exceeds 10 minutes.
b)Since excessive water temperatures have a high potential for causing fetal damage during the early months of pregnancy, pregnant or possibly pregnant women should limit hot tub water temperatures to 38°C (100ºF). If pregnant, please consult your physician before using a hot tub.
c)Before entering the hot tub, the user should measure the water temperature with an accurate thermometer since the tolerance of water temperature regulating devices may vary as much as +/- 2°C (5°F).
d)The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication before or during hot tub use may lead to unconsciousness with the possibility of drowning.
e)Persons suffering from obesity or a medical history of heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory system problems, or diabetes should consult a physician before using a hot tub.
f)Persons using medication should consult a physician before using a hot tub since some medication may induce drowsiness, while other medication may affect heart rate, blood pressure, and circulation.
10)A bonding lug bar is provided on the side of your spa pack to accommodate grounding of entire spa. To reduce the risk of electric shock, connect the local common bonding grid in the area of the hot tub to these terminals with an insulated or bare copper conductor not smaller than 8.4mm2.
11)All field-installed metal components such as rails, ladders, drains or other similar hardware within 3m (10ft) of the hot tub shall be bonded to the equipment grounding buss with copper conductors not smaller than 8.4mm2.
12)Use the hot tub straps and clip tie downs to secure the cover when not in use. This will help
to discourage unsupervised children from entering the hot tub. There is no representation that the cover, clip tie downs, or actual locks will prevent access to the hot tub.
WARNINGS!
WARNING: CHILDREN SHOULD NOT USE HOT TUBS WITHOUT ADULT SUPERVISION.
WARNING: DO NOT USE HOT TUBS UNLESS ALL SUCTION GUARDS ARE INSTALLED TO PREVENT BODY AND HAIR ENTRAPMENT.
WARNING: PEOPLE WITH INFECTIOUS DISEASES SHOULD NOT USE A HOT TUB.
5
WARNING: TO AVOID INJURY, EXERCISE CARE WHEN ENTERING OR EXITING THE HOT TUB.
WARNING: DO NOT USE DRUGS OR ALCOHOL BEFORE OR DURING THE USE OF A HOT TUB TO AVOID UNCONSCIOUSNESS AND POSSIBLE DROWNING.
WARNING: PREGNANT OR POSSIBLY PREGNANT WOMEN SHOULD CONSULT A PHYSICIAN BEFORE USING A HOT TUB.
WARNING: WATER TEMPERATURE IN EXCESS OF 38°C (100ºF) MAY BE INJURIOUS TO YOUR HEALTH.
WARNING: BEFORE ENTERING THE HOT TUB, MEASURE THE WATER TEMPERATURE WITH AN ACCURATE THERMOMETER.
WARNING: DO NOT USE A HOT TUB IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING STRENUOUS EXERCISE.
WARNING: PROLONGED IMMERSION IN A HOT TUB MAY BE INJURIOUS TO YOUR HEALTH.
WARNING: DO NOT PERMIT ELECTRIC APPLIANCES (SUCH AS LIGHT, TELEPHONE, RADIO, TELEVISION, ETC.) WITHIN 1.5M (5 FEET) OF THIS HOT TUB.
CAUTION: MAINTAIN WATER CHEMISTRY IN ACCORDANCE WITH MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS.

Hyperthermia
Prolonged immersion in hot water may induce hyperthermia.
Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a level several degrees above the normal body temperature of 37°C (99ºF). The symptoms of hyperthermia include drowsiness, lethargy, and an increase in the internal temperature of the body. The effects of hyperthermia include:
Unawareness of impending hazard;
Failure to perceive heat; |

Installation Instructions
Site Preparation
Make sure you ensure the following:
•Always put your spa on a structurally sound, LEVEL surface. A filled spa can weigh a great deal. Make certain that the location you choose can support the weight of your filled spa.
•Locate your equipment compartment, which houses all of the electrical components, in a place where your will have easy access for periodic spa care and maintenance.
•Allow adequate access to all other access panels for service.
Outdoor Ground Level Installation
No matter where you install your new spa, it’s important that you have a solid foundation for support. If using patio stones, they should be at least two inches thick and twelve inches square. Even with stones in place, the spa will possibly settle and become unlevel, and may require re-leveling over time.
Deck Installation
To be certain your deck can support your spa, you must know the deck’s maximum load capacity. Consult a qualified building contractor or structural engineer. To find the weight of your spa, its contents and occupants, refer to the Spa Specification chart. This weight per square foot must not exceed the structure’s rated capacity, or serious structural damage could result.
Your Coyote Spas™ Dealer can help you with local information such as zoning regulations and building codes.
WARNING! WARNING!
We recommend that the Coyote Spa™ be installed above ground. Consult a licensed building contractor to design or evaluate your custom decking requirements.
