Save These Instructions
Read the entire owner's
manual & safety instructions before
operating the spa.
When installing the spa,
basic safety precautions should always be
followed, including the following:
1)
Warning: To reduce the
risk of injury, do not permit children to use
this product unless they are closely supervised
at all times.
2)
Warning: A grounding
wire connector is provided on this unit to
connect a minimum No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm
2 solid copper
conductor between this unit and any metal
equipment, metal enclosures of electrical
equipment, metal water pipe or conduit within 5
feet (1.5 m) of the unit.
3)
Danger: Risk Of Accidental
Drowning. Extreme caution must be exercised
to prevent unauthorized access by children. To
avoid accidents, ensure that children cannot use
this spa unless they are closely supervised at
all times.
4)
Danger: Risk Of Injury.
The suction fittings in this spa are sized to
match the specific water flow created by the
pump. Should the need arise to replace the
suction fittings or the pump, be sure to replace
with same model suction fittings for safety and
compatible flow rates.
Never operate the spa if
the suction fittings are broken or missing.
Never replace a suction fitting with one rated
less than the flow rate marked on the original
suction fittings.
5)
Danger: Risk Of Injury.
Do not remove suction grate. Suction through
drains and skimmers is powerful when the jets in
the spa are in use. Damaged suction grate can be
hazardous to small children and adults with long
hair. Should any part of the body be drawn into
these fittings, turn off the spa immediately. As
a precaution, long hair should NOT be allowed to
float in the spa.
6)
Danger: Risk Of Electric
Shock. Install at least 5 feet (1.5M) from
all metal surfaces. As an alternative a spa may
be installed within 5 feet (1.5M) of metal
surfaces if, in accordance with the National
Electrical Code, each metal surface is
permanently connected by a minimum No. 8 AWG
(8.4 mm2) solid copper conductor to the wire
connector on the terminal box that is provided
for this purpose.
7)
Danger: Risk Of Electric
Shock. Do not permit any
electric appliance, such as a light, telephone,
radio, or television, within 5 feet (1.5 m) of
the spa. Never operate any electrical appliances
from inside the spa or while
wet.
8)
Warning - To reduce the
risk of injury:
a) The water in a spa should never exceed
40° C (104° F). Water temperatures between
38° C (100° F) and 40° C are considered safe for a
healthy adult. Lower
water temperatures
are recommended for young children and when spa
use exceeds 10 minutes.
b)Since
excessive water temperatures have a high
potential for causing fatal damage during the
early months of pregnancy, pregnant women should
limit spa water
temperatures to 38° C
(100° F).
c)Before entering a
spa, the user should check the water
temperature with an
accurate thermometer since the tolerance of
water temperature-regulating devices
varies.
d) The use of alcohol,
drugs, or medication before or during spa use
may lead to unconsciousness with the possibility
of drowning .
e)Obese
persons and persons with a history of heart
disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory
system problems, or diabetes should consult a
physician before using a spa.
f) Persons
using medication should consult a physician
before using a spa since some medication may
induce drowsiness while other medications may
affect heart rate, blood pressure, and
circulation.
9) Do not use spa
immediately after strenuous exercise.
10) Maintain water
chemistry as is recommended by your local LA
Spas authorized Dealer.
HYPERTHERMIA
Hyperthermia occurs when the internal
temperature of the body reaches a level several
degrees above normal body temperature of 98.6 °F.
The
Symptoms Of Hyperthermia
Include:
 Dizziness
Fainting
Drowsiness
Lethargy
Increase in internal
body temperature
The Effects Of Hyperthermia
Include:
Unawareness of
impending hazard
Failure to perceive
heat
Failure to recognize
the need to exit spa
Physical inability to
exit spa
Fetal damage in
pregnant women
Unconsciousness
resulting in a danger of drowning
Spa Safety Precautions:
a) Always enter and exit a
spa slowly.
b) Do not use the spa
alone.
c)
Before entering the spa,
always measure the water temperature with an
accurate thermometer. Tolerance of water
temperature regulating devices can vary as much
as ± 5° F
(3° C).
Always check the spa water
temperature before entering .
d) Since excessive water
temperature has a high potential for causing
fetal damage during early months of pregnancy,
pregnant or possibly pregnant women should limit
spa water temperatures to 100 °F (38 °C). Always
consult your doctor prior to using a spa.
e) Children's body
temperature can increase more rapidly than
adults in the same water with elevated
temperatures (above 99 °F). Children should
spend less time in water above body temperature
than adults.
f) The use of alcohol,
drugs, and/or medication before or during spa
use may lead to unconsciousness, hypothermia,
serious injury or the possibility of
drowning.
g) Persons suffering from
obesity or with a medical history of heart
disease, diabetes, high or low blood pressure,
or circulatory system problems should consult
with their physician before using the spa.
h) Persons on medication
should consult with their physician before
entering the spa since some medication may
induce drowsiness while other medication may
affect heart rate, blood pressure, and
circulation.
i) People with infections,
sores, or skin abrasions should not use the spa.
Warm and hot water temperatures may allow the
growth of infectious bacteria if not properly
disinfected.
j) Test the GFCI (Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupter) unit before each use.
(Refer to instructions provided by GFCI
manufacturer.)
k) Do not service or repair
any equipment without making sure circuit
breaker and/or all power to the spa is off.
l) Cover must be kept on
spa at all times when not in use and locked,
especially if children are present.
Safety Sign
Each spa has been provided
with a Warning sign that outlines safety
precautions. This sign should be permanently
placed in a location that is visible to all spa
users. This sign has been mounted permanently to
the front of the spa. Replacement signs can be
obtained from:
L.A. Spas
1311 N. Blue Gum Street
Anaheim,CA 91806
Cautions
1) Persons suffering from
heart disease, diabetes, high or low blood
pressure, any condition requiring medical
treatment, pregnant women, the elderly, or
infants should consult with a physician before
using a spa.
2) The Consumer Product Safety Commission has
stated that the water temperature in a spa or
hot tub should not exceed 104° F.
Immersion in water in excess of 104° F can be hazardous to your
health.
3) Observe a reasonable
time limit when using the spa. Long exposures at
higher temperatures can cause high body
temperature. Symptoms may include dizziness,
nausea, fainting, drowsiness, and reduced
awareness. These effects could result in
possible drowning.
4) Do not use the spa under
the influence of alcohol, narcotics, or other
drugs. Use of the spa under these conditions may
lead to serious consequences.
5) Always test the spa
water temperature before entering the spa. Enter
and exit the spa slowly. Wet surfaces can be
very slippery.
6) Never bring any
electrical appliance into or near the spa. Never
operate any electrical appliance from inside the
spa or when you are wet.
7) Proper chemical
maintenance of spa water is necessary to
maintain safe water and prevent possible damage
to spa components.
8) Use the spa straps and clip tie downs to
secure the cover when not in use. This will help
to discourage unsupervised children from
entering the spa and keep the spa cover secure
in high wind conditions. There is no
representation that the cover, clip tie downs,
or actual locks will prevent access to the
spa.
