Limit your initial use of the spa to 10-15 minutes. High body temperatures affect people differently; consult your physician about your safety and comfort before using the spa. The elderly, the infirm, and children should not use the spa unattended. Infants should not be permitted in the spa at water temperatures over 100°F. Pregnant women and people with heart conditions should consult their physicians before using the spa at water temperatures over 100°F. Extra care should be taken when using the spa and consuming alcoholic beverages. Alcohol, drugs, or certain medications such as tranquilizers affect a person’s ability to withstand high temperatures and may produce dangerous effects. Keep body, hair, and clothing a minimum of 12 inches away from suction fitting and skimmers at all times when the spa is operating. Hair longer than shoulder length should be secured close to the head, or a bathing cap should be worn. Do not remove the suction grilles! They are safety devices and must always be in place on the suction fitting to minimize the potential hazard of hair entanglement or body entrapment. The wet surface of the spa is slippery. Use care when entering and exiting. While the optional spa cover is rigid, it is not designed to support any weight. Therefore, as a safety precaution, do not sit, stand or lie on it. The spa must be installed with adequate access and water drainage system. (See Installation Instructions.) When using the electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed: This unit is equipped with a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) located at the end of the line cord. Check at least once a month to be sure this is operational. (The procedure for testing is described on page 7 of this manual.) Do not use electrically connected devices such as television, radio, or stereo speakers, lights, cooking devices, or telephones within 5 feet of the spa while the spa is being used. Lighting fixtures must not be located directly above or within 5 feet of the spa. If located within 10 feet of the spa, they must be on a circuit protected by a GFCI. Do not apply power to the spa unless it is filled with water to the normal water level, which is to the water level indicator mark on the skimmer frame. Activating the spa when there is an insufficient amount of water can damage the circulation pump and may cause a fire. Read manufacturer’s safety information provided with all optional equipment.
