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
fitness
system
unless they are supervised at all times.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this
fitness
system
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.
• Extreme caution must be exercised to prevent unauthorized access
by children. To avoid accidents, ensure that children cannot use the
fitness system
unless they are supervised at all times.
DO:
• Make sure you always lock any child resistant locks after using the
fitness system
for your children’s safety.
• Test the water temperature with your hand before allowing children to
enter the
fitness system
to be sure that it’s comfortable.
• Remind children that wet surfaces can be very slippery. Make sure
that children are careful when entering or exiting the
fitness system
.
DON'T:
• Allow children to climb onto a
fitness system
cover.
• Allow children to have unsupervised access to the
fitness system
.
AVOIDING THE RISK OF ELECTROCUTION
DANGER - RISK OF ELECTROCUTION
• Connect only to a grounded source.
• 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 control
box inside the unit to permit connection of a minimum No. 6 AWG
(16 mm²) solid copper bonding conductor between this point and any
metal equipment, metal water pipe, metal enclosures of electrical
equipment, or conduit within five feet (1.5 m) of the unit as needed to
comply with local requirements.
• Do not connect any auxiliary components (for example, cable,
additional speakers, headphones, additional audio components) to the
audio system unless approved by Watkins Manufacturing Corporation
• Do not self service the audio component by opening or removing
fitness system
door panel as this may expose dangerous voltage or
other risk of injury. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
• Do not attach an external antennae to a
fitness system
audio system
unless installed by a licensed electrician in accordance with Article 810
of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.
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.
• Your
fitness system
is provided with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
(GFCI) for user and equipment protection. To ensure proper operation
of this important safety device, test according to the following
instructions:
• A ground terminal is provided inside the junction box. To reduce
the risk of electric shock, connect this terminal to the grounding
terminal of your electrical service or supply panel with a continuous
green, insulated copper wire. The wire must be equivalent in size
to the circuit conductors supplying the equipment. In addition, a
bonding terminal (pressure wire connector) is provided on the
outside of the control box/heater for bonding to local ground
points. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this connector should
be bonded with a No. 6 AWG (16 mm
²
) solid copper wire to any
metal ladders, water pipes, or other metal within 5 feet (1.5 m) of
the
fitness system
to comply with local requirements. The means
of disconnection must be readily
accessible, but must be installed
at least 5 feet (1.5 m) from the
fitness system
.
• Your
fitness system
is provided with a suitably rated circuit
breaker to open all ungrounded supply conductors.
• Your
fitness system
uses ground fault circuit interrupters in the
electrical subpanel. Before each use of the
fitness system
and
with the unit operating, push the TEST button on each breaker.
The switch should click over to the “Trip” position. Wait 30 seconds
and reset each GFCI breaker by switching it completely off and
then completely on. The switch should then stay on. If either of the
interrupters does not perform in this manner, it is an indication of
an electrical malfunction and the possibility of an electric shock.
Disconnect the power until the fault has been identified and
corrected.
DANGER - RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK
• Install at least 5 feet (1.5 m) from all metal surfaces. A
fitness system
may be installed within 5 feet of a metal surface if each metal surface
is permanently connected by a minimum No. 8 AWG (10 mm
²
) solid
copper conductor attached to the wire ground connector on the heater
terminal block that is provided for this purpose.
• Install your
fitness system
is such a way that drainage is away from
the electrical compartment and from all electrical components.
• Do not permit any electrical appliances, such as a light, telephone,
radio, or television within 5 feet (1.5 m) of a
fitness system
. Failure
to maintain a safe distance may result in death, or serious personal
NO DIVING
Danger: Diving May Result
in serious injury or death.
