Safety Information
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 for bonding to local ground points. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this
connector should be bonded with a No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm²) solid copper wire to any metal ladders, water pipes, or other metal within 5 feet
(1.5 m) of the spa 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 spa.
• Yourspaisprovidedwithasuitablyratedcircuitbreakertoopenallungroundedsupplyconductors.
• Yourspausesgroundfaultcircuitinterruptersintheelectricalsubpanel.Beforeeachuseofthespa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.
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.
DANGER: RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK
• Installatleast5feet(1.5m)fromallmetalsurfaces.Aspamaybeinstalledwithin5feetofametalsurfaceifeachmetalsurfaceis
permanently connected by a minimum No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm²) solid copper conductor attached to the wire ground connector on the
terminal box that is provided for this purpose if in accordance with National Electrical Code ANSI/NMFPA70-1993.
• Donotpermitanyelectricalappliances,suchasalight,telephone,radio,ortelevisionwithin5feet(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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.
• Replaceaudiocomponentsonlywithidenticalcomponents(ifyourspaisequippedwithanaudiocomponent).
• Installyourspainsuchawaythatdrainageisawayfromtheelectricalcompartmentandfromallelectricalcomponents.
DON’T:
• Usethespawiththeequipmentcompartmentdoorremoved.
• Placeelectricalapplianceswithin5feet(1.5m)ofthespa.
• Useanextensioncordtoconnectthespatoitspowersource.Thecordmaynotbeproperlygroundedandtheconnectionisashock
hazard. An extension cord may cause a voltage drop, which will cause overheating of the jet pump motor and motor damage.
• Attempttoopentheelectricalcontrolbox.Therearenouserserviceablepartsinside.
RISKS TO AVOID
DANGER: RISK OF INJURY
• Toreducetheriskofinjurytopersons,DONOTremovesuctionfittingsorfilterstandpipe(locatedinthefiltercompartment).
• Thesuctionfittingsinthespaaresizedtomatchthespecificwaterflowcreatedbythepump.Neverreplaceasuctionfittingwithone
rated less than the flow rate marked on the original suction fitting.
•
There is a danger of slipping and falling. Remember that wet surfaces can be very slippery. Take care when entering or exiting the spa.
• Neveroperatespaifthesuctionfittingsarebrokenormissing.
• Peoplewithinfectiousdiseasesshouldnotusethespa.
• Keepanyloosearticlesofclothing,longhairorhangingjewelryawayfromrotatingjetsorothermovingcomponents.
INCREASED SIDE EFFECTS OF MEDICATION
• Theuseofdrugs,alcohol,ormedicationbeforeorduringspausemayleadtounconsciousnesswiththepossibilityofdrowning.
• Personsusingmedicationsshouldconsultaphysicianbeforeusingaspa;somemedicationmaycauseausertobecomedrowsy,while
other medication may affect heart rate, blood pressure, and circulation.
• Personstakingmedicationswhichinducedrowsiness,suchastranquilizers,antihistaminesoranticoagulantsshouldnotusethespa.
