SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
The following instructions are required to be printed by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) as a condition of the listing of this product. They contain important safety information, and we strongly encourage you to read and apply them.
IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
WHEN INSTALLING AND USING THIS ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT, BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS 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 closely supervised at all times.
3.DANGER: RISK OF CHILD DROWNING. Extreme caution must be exercised to prevent unauthorized access by children. To avoid accidents, ensure that children cannot use the spa or hot tub unless they are supervised at all times.
120 VOLT, CORD AND PLUG CONNECTED MODELS
4.DANGER: RISK OF INJURY. Connect only to a grounded source.
5.Do not bury the power cord.
6.WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, replace a damaged cord immediately.
7.A ground terminal (pressure wire connector) is provided on the surface of the control box inside the equipment compartment. This connector should be bonded with a minimum No. 8 AWG (8.4mm2) solid copper wire between this unit and any metal ladders, metal water pipes, metal enclosures of electrical equipment, conduit or metal equipment within five feet (1.5m) of the spa. If the spa is located on a reinforced concrete pad, the reinforced steel should also be bonded to the ground terminal.
8.WARNING: Your spa is equipped with a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) on the end of the power supply cord. Before each use of the spa, with the plug connected to the power supply and the unit operating, press the “test” button. The unit should stop operating and the GFCI power indicator will go out. Wait thirty seconds and then reset the GFCI by pressing the “Reset” button. The GFCI power indicator will turn on, restoring power to the spa. If the interrupter does not perform in this manner, it is an indication of an electrical malfunction and the possibility of an electric shock. Disconnect the plug from the receptacle until the fault has been identified and corrected.
NOTE: Failure to wait thirty seconds before resetting the GFCI may cause the spas’ power indicator on the control panel to blink. If this occurs, repeat the GFCI test procedure.

SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS (CONTINUED)
240 VOLT, PERMANENTLY INSTALLED OR CONVERTED MODELS
9.A ground terminal is provided on the terminal block (TB-1, terminal 7) located inside the control box. To reduce the risk of electric shock, connect this terminal to the grounding terminal of your electrical service or supply panel with a continuous green, insulated copper wire. The wire must be equivalent in size to the circuit conductors supplying the equipment. In addition, a bonding terminal (pressure wire connector) is provided on the outside of the control box for bonding to local ground points. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this connector should be bonded with a No. 8 AWG (8.42mm2) solid copper wire to any metal ladders, water pipes, or other metal within five feet (1.5m) of the spa to comply with local requirements.
10.Your spa uses ground fault circuit interrupters in the electrical sub-panel. Before each use of the spa and with the unit operating press the Test button on each breaker. The switch should click over to the “Trip” position. Wait thirty seconds and reset each GFCI breaker by switching it completely off and then completely on. The switch should then stay on. If either of the interrupters does not perform in this manner, it is an indication of an electrical malfunction and the possibility of an electric shock. Disconnect the power until the fault has been identified and corrected.
NOTE: Failure to wait 30 seconds before resetting the GFCI may cause the spa’s Power Indicator (on the control panel) to blink. If this occurs, repeat the GFCI test procedure.
ALL SPA MODELS
11.Install the spa so proper drainage is provided for the compartment containing the electrical components.
12.DANGER: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. Install the spa at least five feet (1.5m) of metal surfaces if, in accordance with the National Electric Code ANS/NMFPA70-1993, each metal surface is permanently connected to a minimum No. 8 (8.42mm2) solid copper conductor attached to the wire bonding connector on the terminal box that is provided for this purpose.)
13.DANGER: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. Do not permit any appliance, such as a light, telephone, radio, or television within five feet (1.5m) of the spa or hot tub.
14.WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury:
•The water in the 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 extended use (exceeding 10 minutes) and for young children.
•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).
•Before entering a spa, the user should measure the water temperature with
an accurate thermometer since the tolerance of temperature-regulating devices may vary as much as +/- 5° F (3° C).
•The use of drugs, alcohol, or medication before or during spa 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 the spa.

SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS (CONTINUED)
•Persons using medications 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.
15.DANGER: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS. Do not remove the suction fittings.
16.DANGER: RISK OF INJURY: Never operate a spa if the suction fitting(s) are broken or missing. Never replace a suction fitting with one rated less than the flow rate marked on the original suction fitting. The suction fittings in the 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.
17.DANGER: Children are especially sensitive to hot water. At no time should children have unsupervised access to the spa. Children must not be allowed to climb onto the spa cover. All Marquis Spas are equipped with a locking cover that meets the ASTM F1346-91 Standard for Safety Covers. Always lock the child resistant locks after using the spa for your children’s safety.
18.SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING: Children should not use spas or hot tubs without adult supervision. WARNING: Do not use spas or hot tubs unless all suction guards are installed
to prevent body and hair entrapment.
WARNING: Do not use drugs or alcohol before or during the use of a spa or hot tub to avoid unconsciousness and possible drowning.
WARNING: People using medications and/or having an adverse medical history should consult a physician before using a spa.
WARNING: The use of alcohol, drugs, and medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia.
WARNING: Before entering the spa or hot tub measure the water temperature with an accurate thermometer.
WARNING: Water temperature in excess of 38°C may be injurious to your health.
WARNING: Prolonged immersion in a spa or hot tub may be injurious to your health.
WARNING: People with infectious diseases should not use a spa. WARNING: Pregnant or possibly pregnant women should consult a physician
before using a spa or hot tub.

SAFETY SIGN
Each Marquis Spa is shipped with a SAFETY SIGN in the spa’s Owner’s Package. Underwriters Laboratories (UL) recommends this sign be permanently installed where it is visible to the users of the spa. To obtain additional Safety Signs, contact your Marquis Spas dealer and request Part #710-0789. Replacement Owner’s Manuals are also available.
PERSONAL SAFETY
Prolonged immersion in hot water can result in HYPERTHERMIA, a dangerous condition which occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a level above normal (98.6° F). The symptoms of hyperthermia include dizziness, fainting, drowsiness, lethargy, and a body temperature above 98.6° F. The physical effects of hyperthermia include unawareness of impending hazard, failure to perceive heat, failure to recognize the need to exit the spa, physical inability to exit the spa, fetal damage in pregnant women, and unconsciousness resulting in a danger of drowning.
WARNING: The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia in hot tubs and spas.
Persons taking medications which induce drowsiness such as tranquilizers, antihistamines or anticoagulants should not use the spa. Pregnant women and persons with a medical history of heart disease, diabetes, or high blood pressure should consult a physician before using the spa.
