AVOIDING THE RISK TO CHILDREN
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product unless they are closely supervised at all times
DANGER: Risk of Accidental Drowning
• Extreme caution must be exercised to prevent unauthorized access by children. To avoid accidents, ensure that children
cannot use this hot tub or spa unless they are supervised at all times
AVOIDING THE RISK OF ELECTROCUTION:
WARNING: For outdoor use only. This unit is not intended for indoor use.
• A wire connector is provided on this unit to connect a minimum 8 AWG (8.4 mm²) solid copper conductor between this
unit and any metal equipment, metal enclosures of electrical equipment, metal water pipe or conduit within 5 feet (1.5m)
of the unit.
DANGER: Risk of injury
• For cord connected units: a) Replace damaged cord immediately. b) Do not bury cord. c) Connect to a grounded,
grounding type receptacle only.
DANGER: Risk of Electric Shock.
• Install at least 5 feet (1.5m) from all metal surfaces. As an alternative, a hot tub or spa may be installed within 5 feet of
metal surfaces if each metal surface is permanently connected by a minimum 8 AWG (8.4 mm²) of solid copper conductor
to the wire connector on the terminal box that is provided for this purpose.
• Do not permit any electrical appliance, such as a light, telephone, radio or television, within 5 feet (1.5m) of a hot tub or spa.
AVOIDING THE RISK OF INJURY:
DANGER: Risk of Injury. The suction fittings in this hot tub or 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.
Never operate a hot tub or spa if the suction fittings are broken or missing. Never replace a suction fitting with one rated
less than the flow rate marked on the original suction fitting.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury:
• The water in a hot tub or spa should never exceed 40°C (104°F). Water temperatures between 38°C (100°F) and 40°C
are considered safe for a healthy adult. Lower water temperatures are recommended for young children and when hot tub
or spa use exceeds 10 minutes. Prolonged immersion in a hot tub or spa may be injurious to your health.
• 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 hot tub or spa water temperatures to 38°C (100°F). Pregnant or
possibly pregnant women should consult a physician before using a hot tub or spa.
• Before entering a hot tub or spa, the user should measure the water temperature with an accurate thermometer since the
tolerance of water temperature-regulating devices varies.
• The use of alcohol, drugs or medication before or during hot tub or spa use may lead to unconsciousness with the
possibility of drowning.
• Obese persons and persons with a history of heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory system problems or
diabetes should consult a physician before using a hot tub or spa. Persons with infectious diseases should not use a hot
tub or spa.
• Persons using medication should consult a physician before using a hot tub or spa since some medication may induce
drowsiness while other medication may affect heart rate, blood pressure, and circulation.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
• Do not enter a hot tub or spa immediately following strenuous exercise.
• To avoid injury, exercise care when entering or exiting the hot tub or spa.
ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT:
When using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed including the following:
• A green colored terminal, or terminal marked G, GR, Ground, Grounding or the international grounding symbol
is located inside the supply terminal box or compartment. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this terminal must be
connected to the grounding means provided in the electrical supply service panel with a continuous copper wire
equivalent in size to the circuit conductors supplying this equipment.
• 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 No. 6 AWG
• All field installed metal components such as rails, ladders, drains or other similar hardware within 3 meters / 9.84 feet of
the hot tub or spa shall be bonded to the equipment grounding bus with copper conductors not smaller than No. 6 AWG
• There are no user serviceable parts within the management system. The high voltage can cause injury or death.
• The hot tub or spa must be hooked up to a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (G.F.C.I.) by a licensed electrician.
• Use the test button on your G.F.C.I monthly to ensure it is working properly.
• CAUTION: Wiring Connected in this box must be rated at 300V.
AUDIO COMPONENTS:
When using audio components, basic safety precautions should always be followed including the following:
• CAUTION: Risk of Electric Shock. Do not leave compartment door open.
• CAUTION: Risk of Electric Shock. Replace components only with identical components.

• WARNING: Prevent Electrocution. Do not connect any auxiliary components (for example cable, additional speakers,
headphones, additional audio/video components, etc) to the system.
• These units are not provided with an outdoor antenna; when provided, it should be installed in accordance with Article
810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.
• Do not service this product yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other risk of
injury. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel.
• When the power supply connections or power supply cord(s) are damaged; if water is entering the audio/video
compartment or any electrical equipment compartment area; if the protective shields or barriers are showing signs of
deterioration; or if there are signs of other potential damage to the unit, turn off the unit and refer servicing to a qualified
service personnel.
