IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING:

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF DROWNING, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR SERIOUS INJURY, READ THE FOLLOWING IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS BEFORE USING THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA.

READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS

1. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure

that all users of the hydrotherapy spa are adequately informed of all precautions.

2. Use the hydrotherapy spa only as described

in this manual.

3. The hydrotherapy spa is intended for home

use only. Do not use the spa in any commercial, rental, or institutional setting.

4. Use the hydrotherapy spa only on a level

surface. Do not use the spa on carpet or other materials that could be damaged by moisture. Do not use the spa on rough or sharp surfaces such as gravel or wood chips.

5. The hydrotherapy spa will weigh approxi-

mately 2,000 pounds (908 kgs) when it is filled with water. Be sure that the location you select for the spa will support this weight plus the weight of the occupants.

6. Inspect and tighten all parts regularly; replace

any worn or missing parts immediately.

7. DANGER—Risk of injury: Do not remove or

alter the covers on the suction fittings. Never operate the hydrotherapy spa if the suction guard is missing or broken. If you need to replace a suction fitting, be sure to use only manufacturer-recommended parts. Keep hair and body away from the suction guard. Do not allow long hair to float freely in the water; long hair should be restrained with a bathing cap.

8. IMPORTANT: Do not allow the hydrotherapy

spa to be exposed to direct sunlight when it is empty. The surface of the spa shell can reach temperatures as high as 150°F (65°C) in a matter of minutes if exposed to the sun while it is empty. These high temperatures can cause significant damage, such as blistering of the shell surface and warping of the spa shell. Any damage caused by sun exposure is not covered under warranty.

9. Do not bring any object into the hydrotherapy spa that could damage the spa shell.

10. Never insert any object into any opening.

11. Do not use breakable containers near or in the hydrotherapy spa.

12. Do not sit on the spa cover or place objects on it. It is not designed to support weight.

13. Remove any water or debris that may collect on the spa cover.

14. Keep children under 12 and pets away from the hydrotherapy spa when it is not in use.

15. Keep all chemicals away from children and pets.

16. The pH and chemical balance of the water must be maintained as explained in this manual (see pages 10 and 14). Failure to do so may cause injury to users or damage to the spa, and will void the warranty.

17. Individuals with infections and open sores or wounds should not use the hydrotherapy spa. Bacteria thrive in warm and hot water. Always keep the spa disinfected and maintain the proper chemical balance.

18. Shower before and after using the hydrotherapy spa. This will remove any deodorant, perspiration, or body oils that could contaminate the water. Showering after will remove any residual chemicals and any bacteria that may have been in the spa.

19. WARNING—The Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI), must be tested before each use. To test the GFCI, press the “test” button while the spa is running. The spa should shut off. Press the “reset” button. The spa should resume normal operation. If the spa continues to run after the “test” button is pressed, then the GFCI is damaged.

Do not use the spa until the GFCI has been repaired or replaced by a qualified electrician.

20. Keep all electrical appliances such as radios, telephones, televisions, and lights at least five feet (1.5 m) away from the water.

21. DANGER—Risk of electric shock: Do not set up the hydrotherapy spa within five feet (1.5 m) of any metal objects or surfaces. As an alternative, you may use the spa within five feet (1.5 m) of metal objects if each metal object is permanently connected to the bonding LVG on the controller of this unit by a minimum No. 6 AWG (13.3 mm

) solid copper conductor. At least two lugs marked “BONDING LUGS” are provided on the external surface or on the inside of the supply terminal box or 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 6 AWG. All field-installed metal components such as rails, ladders, drains, or other similar hardware within 3 m of the spa or hot tub shall be bonded to the equipment grounding bus with copper conductors not smaller than 6 AWG.

22. Do not operate the pump motor when the hydrotherapy spa is empty. The pump motor may be seriously damaged if it is operated without water circulating. The cut-off valves must always be open when using the spa (see step 2 on page 8).

23. DANGER—Risk of drowning: Exercise extreme caution to prevent unauthorized and unsupervised use of the hydrotherapy spa by children. Children must always be supervised.

24. DANGER—To reduce the risk of drowning:

• Never use the hydrotherapy spa alone;

• Children should not use the spa unless

they are supervised by an adult;

• Keep pets away from the spa at all times;

• Always replace and lock the spa cover

when the hydrotherapy spa is not in use.

25. WARNING—To reduce the risk of injury: The water temperature should never exceed 104°F (40°C). Water temperature in excess of 100°F (38°C) may be injurious to your health. If you plan to remain in the hydrotherapy spa for more than 10 to 15 minutes, lower the

temperature to 100°F (38°C) or below. Lower temperatures are also recommended for children. Children should not be allowed to swim under the surface of the water in the spa.

26. WARNING—To reduce the risk of injury: Always use an accurate thermometer to determine the water temperature before using the hydrotherapy spa.

27. WARNING—To reduce the risk of injury: Pregnant women should consult with their physician before using the hydrotherapy spa. Pregnant women should not use the spa if the water temperature is above 100°F (38°C); the unborn child could be seriously harmed. This is especially important during the first 90 days of the pregnancy.

28. DANGER—To reduce the risk of drowning: Prolonged immersion in the hydrotherapy spa may cause hyperthermia, a dangerous condition which occurs when the internal body temperature rises several degrees above the normal body temperature of 98.6°F (37°C). The symptoms of hyperthermia are nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, and fainting. Effects include: a lack of awareness, inability to perceive heat or danger, and a greater risk of drowning due to a loss of consciousness.

Special note: Individuals suffering from hyperthermia may be unable to realize that they must exit the spa, and they also may be physically unable to do so.

29. WARNING—To reduce the risk of drowning: Do not use the hydrotherapy spa if you are under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Heat from the water, in conjunction with alcohol or drugs, can cause unconsciousness.

30. WARNING—To reduce the risk of injury or drowning: Consult your physician about possible side-effects of any medications you may be taking before using the hydrotherapy spa. Heat from the water, in conjunction with some medications may cause drowsiness and increase the risk of drowning. Others can effect blood pressure, heart rate, and circulation.

31. Do not use the hydrotherapy spa immediately after strenuous exercise.

32. WARNING—To avoid injury, exercise care when entering or exiting the spa.

33. WARNING—To reduce the risk of injury: It is especially important for persons over the age of 35 or persons with pre-existing health problems, such as obesity, heart disease, high or low blood pressure, circulatory problems, or diabetes to consult their physician before using this product.

34. WARNING—The included warning sign must be posted where all users of the spa can see and read it (see POSTING THE WARNING SIGN on page 13).

35. CAUTION—The hydrotherapy spa is not designed for in-ground installation. Do not install the hydrotherapy spa in-ground.

CHOOSING A LOCATION FOR THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA

There are many factors to consider when choosing a location to set up the hydrotherapy spa. These factors vary depending on whether you use the hydrotherapy spa inside or outside. We have listed several factors you may wish to consider as you decide where you want to use the hydrotherapy spa.

If you set up the hydrotherapy spa inside:

1. The hydrotherapy spa will increase the level of humidity in your home. The location you choose should be well ventilated. You may need to install a ventilation fan or use a dehumidifier.

2. The hydrotherapy spa should be close to a source of water.

3. Do not use the hydrotherapy spa on carpet or other material that may be damaged by moisture. We recommend that you place the spa on a water- and stain-resistant, non-slip surface with a floor drain for any water that may splash from the spa.

4. Be sure that the location you choose is stable. It must be able to support the weight of the hydrotherapy spa when it is filled with water plus the weight of the occupants. The hydrotherapy spa weighs approximately 2,000 pounds (908 kgs) when filled with water.

5. Do not use the hydrotherapy spa above a finished living area due to the risk of water damage.

6. Be sure that there is room around the hydrotherapy spa to permit servicing of the unit. The dimensions of the spa are: 5’ 10” W x 6’ 4” L x 2’ 6” H (153 cm x 183 cm x 61 cm). Make sure to allow for this size when choosing the location.

7. The hydrotherapy spa is not designed for in-floor installation. However, it is compatible with a deck system that is built flush with the top of the spa, provided you leave access to the motor for service.

8. Make sure to consider such factors as aesthetics or privacy that may affect the safety or enjoyment of using the hydrotherapy spa.

If you set up the hydrotherapy spa outside:

1. You should check your local building codes concerning the use of outdoor spas.

2. The hydrotherapy spa should be close to a source of water.

3. We recommend that you place the hydrotherapy spa on a water- and stain-resistant, non-slip surface. Do not use the spa on rough or sharp surfaces such as gravel or wood chips.

5. Think about environmental factors, such as rain, wind, shade, sunlight, and so forth.

6. You should be able to monitor the use of the hydrotherapy spa from your home, to prevent unauthorized use by children. You may want to enclose the spa with a fence and self-latching gate to prevent unauthorized use.

7. Be sure that there is room around the hydrotherapy spa to permit servicing of the unit. The dimensions of the spa are: 5’ 10” W x 6’ 4” L x 2’ 6” H (153 cm x 183 cm x 61 cm). Make sure to allow for this size when choosing the location.

8. The hydrotherapy spa is not designed for in-ground installation. However, it is compatible with a deck system that is built flush with the top of the spa, provided you leave access to the motor for service.

9. Make sure to consider such factors as aesthetics or privacy that may affect the safety or enjoyment of using the hydrotherapy spa.

SET-UP AND ASSEMBLY

Before beginning assembly, carefully read the following information and instructions:

• Place all parts in a cleared area and remove the packing materials from the spa shell; do not dispose of the packing materials until assembly is completed and the spa is in operation.

• Assembly requires two people.

• Note: Some small parts may have been preattached for shipping. If a part is not in the parts bag, check to see if it has been pre-attached.

• During assembly, make sure that all parts are oriented as shown in the drawings.

• Read each assembly step before you begin.

• Tighten all parts as you assemble them, unless instructed to do otherwise.

ASSEMBLY REQUIRES THE FOLLOWING TOOLS (not included):

• One (1) phillips screwdriver

1. Before beginning assembly, make sure that you
