IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING:

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF DROWNING, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR SERIOUS

INJURY, READ THE FOLLOWING IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS BEFORE USING THE DAYBREAK 207.

READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS

1. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of the spa are adequately
informed of all precautions.

2. Use the spa only as described in this manual.

3. The spa is intended for home use only. Do
not use the spa in a commercial, rental, or
institutional setting.

4. Use the 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 spa will weigh approximately 1,500
pounds 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 spa if the suction guard is miss­ing or broken. If you need to replace a suc­tion fitting, 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 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 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 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 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 and pets away from the 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 11 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 spa. Bacteria
thrive in warm and hot water. Always keep
the spa disinfected and maintain the proper
chemical balance.

18. Always shower before and after using the
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. DANGER—When connecting the power cord
(see PLUGGING IN THE SPA on page 10),
plug the power cord directly into a grounded
circuit capable of carrying 15 or more amps.
No other appliance should be on the same
circuit. Replace the power cord immediately
if damaged.

4

20. Do not use an extension cord with the spa;
this could damage the motor and will void
the warranty.

21. DANGER—If you will be using the spa out­side, do not bury the power cord. Keep the
power cord away from lawn mowers, hedge
trimmers, and other similar equipment.

22. WARNING—The power cord is equipped with
a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI),
located at the end of the power cord. The
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,
the GFCI is damaged. Do not use the spa
until the GFCI has been repaired or replaced
by a qualified electrician.

23. Keep all electrical appliances such as radios,
telephones, televisions, and lights at least
five feet (1.52 meters) away from the water.

24. A wire connector is provided on the electron­ics of the spa to connect a minimum No. 8
AWG (8.04 mm

2

) solid copper conductor
between the spa and any metal equipment,
electrical enclosure made of metal, metal
water pipes, or conduit within five feet
(1.52m) of the spa.

25. DANGER—Risk of electric shock: Do not set
up the spa within five feet of any metal
objects or surfaces. As an alternative, you
may use the spa within five feet of metal
objects if each metal object is permanently
connected to the wire connector on the pump
motor of the spa by a minimum No. 8 AWG
(8.04 mm

2

) solid copper conductor (see

instruction 24).

26. Do not operate the pump motor when the spa
is empty. The pump motor may be damaged
if it is operated without water circulating.

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

28. DANGER—To reduce the risk of drowning:

• Never use the 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 spa is not in use.

29. WARNING—To reduce the risk of injury: The
water temperature should never exceed 104°
F (40°C). Temperatures between 100° F (38°C)
and 104° F (40°C) are considered to be safe
for healthy adults. However, if you plan to
remain in the spa for more than 10 to 15 min­utes, a lower temperature is recommended.
Lower temperatures are also recommended
for children. Children should not be allowed
to swim under the surface in the spa.

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

31. WARNING—To reduce the risk of injury:
Pregnant women should consult with their
physician before using the 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.

32. DANGER—To reduce the risk of drowning:
Prolonged immersion in the 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. 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.

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

34. 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 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.

35. Do not use the spa immediately after strenu­ous exercise.

36. If you feel pain or dizziness at any time while
using the spa, discontinue use and contact a
physician.

37. 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 the spa.

38. WARNING—The spa jets produce a stream of
water with relatively high pressure. Prolonged
exposure of a localized area of the body may
cause bruises to the skin.

39. 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

10).

40. WARNING DECAL PLACEMENT: Locate the
decals shown below and familiarize yourself
with the warnings on the decals.
