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.
• The fitness system should not be used by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or
lack of experience and knowledge, unless they receive supervision or
training.
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 8 mm²
solid copper bonding conductor between this point and any metal
equipment, metal water pipe, metal enclosures of electrical equipment,
or conduit within 1.5 m (5 feet) 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 Wellness.
• 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 your
National Electric Code.
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.
• In order to avoid a hazard due to inadvertent resetting of the thermal
cut-out, this fitness system must not be supplied through an external
switching device, such as a timer, or connected to a circuit that is
regularly switched on and off by the utility.
• Always test the residual current device (RCD) before each use of the
spa. If the RCD does not perform properly, a ground current is flowing
indication the possibility of electric shock. Disconnect power to the
fitness system until the fault has been identified and corrected.
• NOTE: Failure to wait 30 seconds before resetting the RCD may
cause the fitness system to not work properly, if this happens, repeat
the RCD test procedure.
• Your fitness system must be supplied by a RCD - with a tripping rating
not exceeding 30 mA in an electrical subpanel.
DANGER - RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK
• Install at least 1.5 m (5 feet) from all metal surfaces. A fitness system
may be installed within 1.5 m (5 feet) of a metal surface if each metal
surface is permanently connected by a minimum 10 mm
²
solid copper
conductor attached to the wire ground connector in the junction box
that is provided for this purpose if in accordance with your National
Electrical Codes.
• Install your fitness system in 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 1.5 m (5 feet) of a fitness system. Failure to
maintain a safe distance may result in death, or serious personal injury
due to electrocution, if the appliance should fall into the fitness system.
DO:
• Be sure your fitness system is connected to the power supply correctly
- use a licensed electrical contractor.
• Disconnect the fitness system from the power supply before draining
the fitness system or servicing the electrical components.
• Test the Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter(s) before each use.
NO DIVING
Danger: Diving may result
in serious injury or death.
