IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF DROWNING, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR SERIOUS INJURY, READ THE FOLLOWING IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS BEFORE USING THE DAYBREAK.

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 this product in any commercial, rental, or institutional setting.

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

5. The hydrotherapy spa will weigh approximately 2000 pounds when it is filled with water. Be sure that the location you select for the hydrotherapy 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. DANGERÑRisk 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 that the flow rate of the replacement is compatible. 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 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 which 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 14 and 19). 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 your 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 which could contaminate the water. Showering after will remove any residual chemicals and will also remove any bacteria which may have been in the spa.

19. DANGERÑWhen connecting the power cord (see PLUGGING IN THE hydrotherapy spa on page 14), 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.

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

21. DANGERÑIf you will be using the hydrotherapy spa outside, do not bury the power cord; you should also keep the power cord away from lawn mowers, hedge trimmers, and other similar equipment.

22. WARNINGÑThe 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 ÒtestÓ button while the spa is running. The spa should shut off. Press the ÒresetÓ button. The spa should resume normal operation. If the spa continues to run after the ÒtestÓ button is pressed, then the GFCI is damaged. Do not use the hydrotherapy 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 pump motor of this unit to connect a minimum No. 8 AWG (804 mm2) solid copper conductor between this unit and any metal equipment, electrical enclosure made of metal, metal water pipes, or conduit within five feet (1.52m) of the unit.

25. DANGERÑRisk of electric shock: Do not set up the hydrotherapy spa within five feet of any metal objects or surfaces. As an alternative, you may use the hydrotherapy spa within five feet of metal objects if each metal object is permanently connected to the wire connector on the pump motor of this unit by a minimum No. 8 AWG (804 mm2) solid copper conductor (see instruction 24).

26. Do not operate the pump motor when the 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 9).

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

28. DANGERÑTo reduce the risk of drowning: ¥ Never use the hydrotherapy spa alone; ¥ Children should not use the hydrotherapy

spa unless they are supervised by an adult;

¥ Keep pets away from the hydrotherapy spa

at all times;

¥ Always replace and lock the spa cover

when the hydrotherapy spa is not in use.

29. WARNINGÑTo 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 hydrotherapy 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 of the water in the spa.

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

31. WARNINGÑTo reduce the risk of injury: Pregnant women should consult with their physician before using the hydrotherapy spa. Pregnant women should not use the hydrotherapy 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. DANGERÑTo 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. 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 hydrotherapy spa, and they also may be physically unable to do so.

33. WARNINGÑTo 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.

34. WARNINGÑTo 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.

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

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

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 location must be close to an electrical outlet.

Do not use an extension cord with the hydrotherapy spa.

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

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

5. 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 2000 pounds when filled with water.

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

7. Be sure that there is room around the hydrotherapy spa to permit servicing of the unit. The dimensions of the spa are: 5Õ10ÓW x 6Õ4ÓL x 2Õ6ÓH. You should allow for this size when choosing the location.

8. 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.

9. Be sure to note any other considerations, such as aesthetics or privacy concerns, which 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 location must be close to an electrical outlet.

Do not use an extension cord with the hydrotherapy spa.

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

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

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

7. 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.

8. Be sure that there is room around the hydrotherapy spa to permit servicing of the unit. The dimensions of the spa are: 5Õ10ÓW x 6Õ4ÓL x 2Õ6ÓH. You should allow for this size when choosing the location.

9. The hydrotherapy spa is not designed for inground 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.

10. Be sure to note any other considerations, such as aesthetics or privacy concerns, which may affect the safety or enjoyment of using the hydrotherapy spa.
