IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Connect to a grounded, Grounding Type Receptacle Only.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, replace damaged cord immediately.
Do not bury the cord.
DANGER
To reduce the risk of injury to persons, do not remove Suction Fittings.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY:
 The water in the spa or hot tub should never exceed 40° C (104° F). Water temperatures
between 38° C (100° F) and 40° C (104° F) are considered safe for a healthy adult. Lower
water temperatures are recommended for extended use (exceeding 15-20 minutes) and
for younger children.
 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 spa or
hot tub temperatures to 38° C (100° F).
 Before entering a spa or hot tub, the user should measure the water temperature with an
accurate thermometer since the tolerance of temperature regulating devises may vary as
much as plus or minus 3° C (5° F).
 The use of alcohol, drugs or medication before or during spa or hot tub use may lead to
unconsciousness with the possibility of drowning.
 Persons suffering from obesity or with a medical history of heart disease low or high blood
pressure, circulatory system problems, or diabetes should consult a physician before using a
spa or hot tub.
 Persons using medication should consult a physician before using a spa or hot tub since
some medication may induce drowsiness while other medication may affect heart rate,
blood pressure, and circulation.
WARNING
The use of Alcohol, Drugs or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia.
Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a level several
degrees above the normal body temp plus or minus temperature of 98.6° F. The symptoms of
hyperthermia include dizziness, fainting, drowsiness, lethargy and an increase in the internal
body temperature. The affects of hyperthermia include (1) unawareness of impending hazard,
(2) Failure to perceive heat, (3) Failure for the need to exit the Spa, (4) Physical inability to exit
Spa, (5) Fetal damage to pregnant women, and (6) Unconsciousness resulting in a danger of
drowning.
