IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including:
Risk of Accidental Drowning. Extreme caution must be exercised to prevent unauthorized access by children. To avoid accidents, ensure that children cannot use this spa unless they are supervised at all times.
Risk of Serious Injury or Death. The suction fittings in this spa are sized to match the specific water flow created by the pump. Should the need arise to replace the suction fittings or the pump, be sure that the flow rates are compatible.
Never operate the spa if the suction fittings are broken or missing. Never replace a suction fitting with one rated less than the flow rate marked on the original suction fitting.
Risk of Electric Shock. Install at least 5 FEET (1.5 m), from all metal surfaces. As an alternative, a spa may be installed within 5 feet of metal surfaces if each metal surface is permanently connected by a minimum No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm2) solid copper conductor attached to the wire connector on the grounding lug, inside the equipment compartment on the equipment can.
Risk of Electric Shock. Do not permit any electrical appliance, such as a light, telephone, radio, television, etc. within 5 feet (1.5 m) of a spa.
The electrical supply for this spa must include a suitably rated switch or circuit breaker to open all ungrounded supply conductors to comply with section 680-42 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-1993. The disconnect must be readily accessible and visible to the spa occupant but installed at least 5 feet (1.5 m), from the spa water.
To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this spa unless they are closely supervised at all times.
A grounding wire connector is provided on this spa to connect a minimum No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm2) solid copper conductor between this unit and any metal equipment, metal enclosures of electrical equipment, metal water pipe, or conduit within 5 feet (1.5 m) of the spa.
To Reduce the Risk of Injury: 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 considered safe for a healthy adult. Lower water temperatures are recommended for young children and when spa use exceeds 10 minutes.
To Reduce the Risk of Injury:
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 spa water temperatures to 100° F (38° C).
1
To Reduce the Risk of Injury:
Before entering a spa, the user should measure the water temperature with an accurate thermometer since the tolerance of water temperature-regulating devices may vary as much as +/­5° F (2° C).
To Reduce the Risk of Injury:
The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication before or during spa use may lead to unconsciousness with the possibility of drowning.
To Reduce the Risk of Injury:
Persons suffering from obesity or with a medical history of heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory system problems, or diabetes should consult a physician before using a spa.
To Reduce the Risk of Injury:
Persons using medication should consult a physician before using a spa since some medication may induce drowsiness, while other medication may affect heart rate, blood pressure, and circulation.
Do not attempt to remove the light housing cover without lowering the water level below the light housing cover.
Do not block air intakes located on the front left corner underneath the hot tub (the front right corner for the Chairman II and Triad II) and under the equipment access panel. Resulting malfunctions are not covered under warranty.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (CSA SAFETY INFORMATION)

When using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
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 supplying this equipment.
* IEC Publication 417, Symbol 5019.
3. At least two lugs marked “BONDING LUGS” are provided on the external surface or on the inside of the supply terminal box/compartment. To reduce the risk of electric shock, connect the local common bonding grid in the area of the hot tub or spa to these terminals with an insulated or bare copper conductor not smaller than No. 6 AWG.
4. All field-installed metal components such as rails, ladders, drains or other similar hardware within 3 meeters of the spa or hot tub shall be bonded to the equipment grounding bus with copper conductors not smaller than No. 6 AWG.
5. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

ATTENTION: LA TENEUR DE L’EAU EN MATIERÈS DISSOUTES DOIT TRE CONFORME AUX DIRECTIVES DU FABRICANT.

Hyperthermia

Prolonged immersion in hot water may induce hyperthermia. A description of the causes, symptoms, and effects of hyperthermia are as follows: Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a level several degrees above the normal body temperature of 98.6° F, or 37° C. The symptoms of hyperthermia include dizziness, drowsiness, lethargy, and fainting. The effects of hyperthermia include:
Failure to perceive heat,
Failure to recognize the need to exit spa,
Unawareness of impending hazard,
Fetal damage in pregnant women,
Physical inability to exit spa,
Unconsciousness resulting in the danger of drowning.
The use of alcohol or drugs can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia in hot tubs and spas.
AVERTISSEMENT: LA CONSOMMATION D’ALCOOL OU DE DROGUE AUGMENTE CONSIDÈRABLEMENT LES RISQUES D’HYPERTHERMIE MORTELLE DANS UNE CUVE DE RELAXATION.
