WARNING: When using your Hydro Systems whirlpool tub, basic precautions should be followed.
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
1. DANGER: To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this unit unless they are closely supervised at
all times.
2. Use this unit only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use attachments not recommended by
the manufacturer.
3. Never drop or insert any object into any opening.
4. Do not operate this unit without suction cover installed.
5. The unit must be connected only to a dedicated electrical supply circuit that is protected by a Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI). The GFCI must be provided by the installer and should be tested on a routine basis by the
homeowner. To test the GFCI push the test button. The GFCI should interrupt power. Push the RESET button.
Power should be restored. If the GFCI fails to operate in this manner there is a ground current fault, indicating the
possibility of an electric shock. Do not use the tub. Disconnect the power and have the problem corrected by a
qualified service representative. Re-test the GFCI and only when it is operating properly may the thermal air tub be
used.
WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals including styrene, which is known to the State of California to
cause cancer. For more information, go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.
