Important Safety Instructions

When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions
should be followed, including the following:

1) READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.

2) WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this
product unless they are closely supervised at all times. Keep Spa cover locked
when not in use.

3) A wire connector is provided on 220 V units to connect a minimum No. 8 AWG
(8.4 mm2) solid copper conductor between this unit and any metal equipment,
metal water pipe, or conduit within 5ft. (1.5 m) of the unit.

4) 110 V cord connected spas are provided with a GFCI on the end of cord. The
GFCI must be tested before each use. With the spa operating push the test button.
Spa will shut off, next push the reset button on the GFCI. The product should now
operate normally. If the product fails to operate there is a ground current flowing
indicating the possibility of an electrical shock. Disconnect the power until the
fault has been identified and corrected.

5) DANGER Risk of injury. The suction fittings in this spa are sized to match the
specific water flow created by 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 that the flow rate marked on
the original suction fitting.

6) DANGER Risk of electrical shock. Install at least 5 feet (1.5m) 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
(8.4mm2) solid copper conductor to the wire connector on the terminal box that
is provided for this purpose.

7) DANGER Risk of electrical shock. Do not permit any electrical appliance, such
as light, telephone, radio or television within 5ft. (1.5m) of spa.

8) WARNING To reduce the risk of injury:

The water temperature in a spa should never exceed 104 F.
A water temperature of 104 F is considered safe for a healthy adult.
Lower water temperatures are recommended for young children and
when spa use exceeds 10 minutes.

Since excessive water temperatures have a high potential for causing
fetal injury during the early months of pregnancy, pregnant or possibly
pregnant women should limit spa water temperature to 100 F.

Before entering a spa, the user should measure the water temperature
with an accurate thermometer since the tolerance of water temperature

- regulating devices varies.

The use of alcohol, drugs, or medications before or during spa use may
lead to unconsciousness with the possibility of drowning.

Important Safety Instructions

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.

Persons using medication should consult a physician before using
a spa since some medication may affect heart rate, blood pressure,
and circulation.

9) The causes, symptoms and affects of hyperthermia may be described as
follows:

Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches
a level several degrees above the normal temperature of 98.6 degrees F.

The symptoms of hyperthermia include an increase in the internal
temperature of the body, dizziness, lethargy, drowsiness and fainting.
The effects of hyperthermia include:

Failure to feel heat
Failure to recognize the need to exit the spa
Unawareness of impending hazards
Fetal injury in pregnant women
Physical inability to exit the spa or hot tub
Unconsciousness resulting in the potential of drowning.

10) For Cord Connection Units

Replace damaged cord immediately with same specification cord.
Do not bury cord.
Connect to grounded, dedicated 20 amp receptacle.

11) Never touch or come in contact with any electrical accessory when in your spa
or when your body is wet.

12) Prior to performing any service to the Spa Pack, turn off ALL power to the
system at the main power source breaker.

13) Never turn equipment pack on unless spa is filled with water 2" above the
skimmer.

CAUTION: Each persons body and circulatory system has different tolerances
and responds differently to warm/hot immersion. Most people in good health
find a water temperature of about 102 F to be satisfying and limit time in water
at this temperature to 20-30 minutes. Use of alcoholic beverages and certain
medications may affect the way your body's system reacts to warm water/hot
immersion. CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN FOR RECOMMENDATIONS.

Basic Introductory Information

Congratulations on the purchase of your new spa. Our purpose is to provide you with a
warm and relaxing spa which incorporates a soothing water massage. In order to
maximize the pleasure of your spa, you will need to understand how it works.

The following operating and maintenance instructions are very important and must
be followed carefully. With proper care and maintenance your spa will provide you with
years of satisfaction with minimum effort.

The pump and heater should be operated a minimum of four hours per day for
cleaning and heating.

The length of time required to heat your spa to the desired water temperature
will vary, depending on the air temperature, season, and wind velocity. Therefore,
this is something each owner must adjust to your liking. We highly recommend
using a vinyl hard cover to minimize heat loss and to protect your spa when not
in use. Covers are available from your local Dynasty Spa dealer.

The replaceable filter cartridge is trouble free and easy to clean. A routine cleaning
is the best practice. Make sure the pump is off, then remove the cartridge. Wash it
off using a water hose with a pressure nozzle and then reassemble. This should be
done on a monthly basis.

Keep the spa water level 2" above the skimmer. Never allow the water level to drop
below the bottom of the skimmer opening. If the water level is too low, the skimmer
will allow air into the water lines of the pump, causing it to lose its prime (water ­flow). Running the pump without water flow will damage the pump seal assembly
and could possibly result in further equipment damage.

If your spa has a redwood skirt or if you purchased a redwood gazebo, we
recommend applying a wood sealer of your choice (always follow application
instructions) to protect the finish. Repeat as directions suggest.

You should clean your spa at least every 3-4 months. Drain the spa water and
use a liquid cleanser free of abrasives to clean your spa. Such cleaners would be,
for example 409 or Fantastic. DO NOT use hard brushes. Fill with regular tap water
and chemically treat the water for a clean and healthy spa.

CAUTION: Cover must be kept on spa at all times when spa is drained or
winterized. Direct exposure to sunlight can damage plastic parts and interior
surface, jets, or any interior components. Damage as such will not be covered
under warranty.

WARNING: Do not use soft water. It may harm your acrylic.
