IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
!
DANGER To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product
unless they are closely supervised at all times.
!
WARNING - RISK OF CHILD DROWNING. Extreme caution must be exercised to
prevent unauthorized access by children. To avoid accidents, ensure that children
cannot use a spa or hot tub unless they are supervised at all times.
!
DANGER To reduce the risk of injury to persons, do not remove suction fittings.
Spa location must accommodate sufficient drainage of water around the base of the
structure, as well as the power source compartment.
Prolonged immersion in water that is warmer than normal body temperature can result
in a dangerous condition known as HYPERTHERMIA. The causes, symptoms,
and effects of hyperthermia may be described as follows: Hyperthermia occurs
when the internal temperature of the body reaches a level several degrees above
the normal body temperature of 98.6BF. The symptoms of hyperthermia include
dizziness, fainting, drowsiness, lethargy, and an increase in the internal
temperature of the body. The effects of hyperthermia include (1) unawareness of
impending hazard, (2) failure to perceive heat, (3) failure to recognize the need to
exit spa, (4) physical inability to exit spa, (5) fetal damage in pregnant women, (6)
unconsciousness resulting in danger of drowning. WARNING The use of alcohol,
drugs or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia in hot tubs
and spas.
!
DANGER - RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
A spa may be installed within 5 feet of metal surfaces if each
permanently connected by a solid copper conductor attached to the wire connector
on the terminal box . Refer to NEC and local codes
installation.)
A bonding lug is provided on the control box to permit connection of a
solid copper bonding conductor between this point and any equipment, metal
enclosures of electrical equipment, metal water pipe, or conduit within 5 feet
(1.5m) of the unit as needed to comply with local requirements.
Bond accessible metal to the dedicated connector on the equipment grounding bus,
bond the equipment ground bus to the local common bonding grid as part of the
installation in the form of (1) a reinforced concrete slab for support, (2) a ground
plate provided beneath the hot tub or spa, or (3) a permanent ground connection
that is acceptable to the local inspection authority.
!
DANGER RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. Do not permit any electrical appliance,
such as a light, telephone, radio, or television, within 5 feet (1.5m) of a spa or hot
tub.
To reduce the risk of injury:
The water in a spa or hot tub should never exceed 104BF (40BC). Water temperatures
between 100BF (38BC) and 104BF (40BC) are considered safe for a healthy adult.
Lower water temperatures are recommended for extended use (exceeding 10-15
minutes) and for young children.
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 or hot tub water temperatures to 100BF(38BC).
Before entering the spa or hot tub, the user should measure the water temperature
with an accurate thermometer.
The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication before or during spa or hot tub use may lead
to unconsciousness with the possibility of drowning.
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 or hot tub.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Persons using medication should consult a physician before using a spa or hot tub
since some medication may affect heart rate, blood pressure, and circulation.
For Cord and Plug Connected Units
Must be connected to a grounded, grounding type receptacle only. NEVER connect
the spa to an extension cord.
Do not bury the cord.
For Permanently Installed Units
A terminal marked “G” or “ground” is provided in the wiring box located inside the
equipment compartment. To reduce the risk of electric shock, connect the
terminal or connector to the grounding terminal of your electrical service or supply
panel with a continuous green insulated copper wire in accordance with National
Electric Code Table 250-95 and any other local codes in effect at the time of the
installation.
For Permanently Installed Units not Provided with an Internal Disconnecting Method
The electrical supply for this product must include a suitably rated switch or circuit
breaker to open all ungrounded supply conductors to comply with Section 422-30
of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 1987. The disconnecting means
must be readily accessible to the tub occupant but installed at least 5 feet (1.5m)
from the tub water.
For Units with Gas Heaters
WARNING - Do not install indoors. This unit uses a gas heater that requires proper
ventilation and is intended for outdoor use only.

Electrical Installation
A licensed electrician must accomplish the electrical installation in accordance with
the National Electric Code(NEC) Article 680, and any local codes in effect at the
time of installation.
Refer to the System Data Label for equipment voltage and maximum amperage
draws.
The GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) is a mandatory electrical safety device
required for all portable spas and hot tubs as specified in the National Electrical
Code Article 680-42. The GFCI in your particular installation may be installed at the
electrical service panel or a separate sub-panel.
Use copper conductors ONLY. The ground must be sized following the National
Electric Code, Table 250-122. For Power conductor size, refer to the National
Electric Code Table 310-16.
A bonding lug has been provided on the control box to allow connection to local
ground points. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, a solid copper bonding wire
should be connected from this lug to any metal objects within 5 feet of the spa.
The NEC and most local codes require that a “disconnect” be installed within
“line-of-site” of the spa.
