High water temperatures in excess of 104° F (40° C)and prolonged periods of use can raise internal human bodytemperature excessively and impair the body’s ability to regu-late its internal temperature.Pregnant women and people with heart circulatory condi-tions, or diabetes, should consult their physicians before usingthe spa at water temperatures over 100° F (38° C).Limit your initial use of the spa to 10-15 minutes. Highbody temperatures affect people differently; consult yourphysician about your safety and comfort before using the spa.If your spa product does not have a thermometer, werecommend that you use a medical (clinical) type thermometerfor an accurate measurement of spa water temperatures.Other types of thermometer, generally available, such asthose used for swimming pools are not sufficiently accurate todetermine spa water temperature.Extra care should be taken when using the spa andconsuming alcoholic beverages. Alcohol, drugs, or certainmedications, such as tranquilizers, affect a person’s ability towithstand high temperatures and may produce dangerouseffects, including drowning. Persons using medication shouldconsult with a physician before using a spa.Danger -— Risk of injury: Do not remove the suction grille!It is a safety device and must always be in place on the suctionfitting to minimize the potential hazard of hair entanglement orbody entrapment.Keep body, hair, and clothing a minimum of 12 inchesaway from suction fitting and skimmers at all times when thespa is operating.

Lighting fixtures must not be located directlyabove or within 5 feet (1.5 m) of the spa. If located within 10feet (3.0 m) of the spa, they must be on a circuit protected bya GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter).All fixed metal objects located within 5 feet of the spa,such as fence posts, railings, door frames, greenhouse struc-tures, gutters, etc., must be attached to the bonding bar on theoutside of the spa electrical cabinet using #8 solid copper wire.With #8 solid copper wire, bond the spa to the houseelectrical panel or approved local bond.The spa must be installed with adequate access andwater drainage system (refer to Installation) Instructions, todrain water away from electrical components.CAUTION: Do not turn power ON to the spa unless it is filledwith water to the normal water level, which is to the water levelindicator mark on the skimmer frame. Activating the spa whenthere is an insufficient amount of water can damage thecirculation pump and may cause a fire.If your spa is installed in a 230VAC circuit:DANGER — RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCKYour spa must be equipped with a GFCI at the MainElectrical Panel. At initial start-up and before each usethereafter with power ON, push the GFCI test button. Thereset button should pop out. Push this button in to reset. If theinterrupter fails to operate in this manner, there is a groundcurrent flowing or a device malfunctioning, indicating thepossibility of electrical shock. Turn off power and do not usethe spa until the source of the breakdown has beenidentified and corrected.If your spa is installed in a 115VAC, 20 AMP circuit:1. The spa is supplied with a 15 foot line cord whichterminates with an integral GFCI plug. Locate the spa nearenough to a weather protected outlet, but no closer than 10feet. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD! Using anextension cord is hazardous and will decrease the amount ofpower to the unit, causing slow heating, poor whirlpool perfor-mance, or system malfunction.2. Replace damaged line cord immediately. Do not buryline cord. Connect to a grounded, grounding type receptacleonly.3. Bring the line cord out from under the skirt. Removeskirt screws as required to gain access. Make sure the linecord does not lie across a walkway or in a heavily traveled areawhere it may be a safety hazard or become damaged.4. At initial startup and before each use thereafter withpower ON, push the GFCI test button. The reset button shouldpop out. Push this button in to reset. If the interrupter fails tooperate in this manner, there is a ground current flowing or adevice malfunctioning, indicating the possibility of electricalshock. Turn off power and do not use the spa until thesource of the breakdown has been identified and cor-rected.20 AMP RECEPTACLEGFCI
