IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
AVOIDING THE RISK TO CHILDREN
DANGER:
• RISK OF CHILD DROWNING. Extreme caution must be exercised to prevent unauthorized access by children. To avoid accidents, ensure that children cannot
use a spa unless they are supervised at all times.
WARNING:
• To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this spa unless they are closely supervised at all times.
• To reduce the risk of injury, lower water temperatures are recommended for young children. Children are especially sensitive to hot water.
DO:
• Make sure you always lock the child resistant locks after using the spa for your children’s safety. Every Caldera spa is equipped with a locking cover that meets
the ASTM F1346-91 Standard for Safety Covers.
• Test the water temperature with your hand before allowing children to enter the spa to be sure that it’s comfortable. Children are especially sensitive to hot water.
• Remind children that wet surfaces can be very slippery. Make sure that children are careful when entering, or exiting the spa.
DON’T:
• Allow children to climb onto the spa cover.
• Allow children to have unsupervised access to the spa.
AVOIDING THE RISK OF ELECTROCUTION
Risk of electrocution
• Connect only to a grounded source. The spa must be connected to a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI). Watkins Manufacturing Corporation does not
supply a GFCI with the spa. Watkins recommends the GFCI be attached to the end of the spa’s electrical cord. The GFCI must be installed by a licensed,
qualified electrican. GFCI devices must meet or exceed all national and local electrical codes.
• Do not bury the power cord. A buried power cord may result in death, or serious personal injury due to electrocution if direct burial-type cable is not used, or if
improper digging occurs.
• 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 6 mm
2
(10 AWG) solid copper wire between this unit and any metal ladders, metal water pipes, metal enclosures of electrical equipment,
conduit or metal equipment within 1.5 m of the spa. If the spa is located on a reinforced concrete pad, the reinforced steel should also be bonded to the ground
terminal.
WARNING:
• To reduce the risk of electrical shock, replace a damaged cord immediately. Failure to do so may result in death or serious personal injury due to electrocution.
• Always test the Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) before each use of the spa. If the GFCI does not perform properly, a ground current is flowing indication
the possibility of electric shock. Disconnect power to the spa 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.
• Install the spa so proper drainage is provided for the compartment containing the electrical components.
DANGER: RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK
• Install spa at least 1.5 m from all metal surfaces. A spa may be installed within 1.5 m of a metal surface if each metal surface is permanently connected by a
minimum 6mm
2
(10 AWG) solid copper conductor attached to the wire ground connector on the terminal box that is provided for this purpose.
• Do not permit any electrical appliances, such as a light, telephone, radio, or television within 1.5 m of a spa. Failure to maintain a safe distance may result in
death, or serious personal injury due to electrocution, if the appliance should fall into the spa.
• Install your spa in such a way that drainage is away from the electrical compartment and from all electrical components.
DO:
• Be sure your spa is connected to the power supply correctly - use a licensed electrical contractor.
• Disconnect the spa from the power supply before draining the spa or servicing the electrical components.
• Test the Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter(s) before each use.
DON’T:
• Use the spa with the equipment compartment door removed.
• Place electrical appliances within 1.5m of the spa.
