INSTRUCTION
Read the entire owner's
manual & safety instructions before
operating the spa.
When installing the spa, basic safety precautions
should always be followed to include 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 by adults.
2) Warning: A grounding
wire connector is provided on this unit to
connect a minimum No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm2 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 by adults.
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 are powerful when
the jets in the spa are in use. Damaged suction
grate can be hazardous to children and adults
with long hair. Should any part of the body or
hair be drawn into these fittings or stuck onto
the fittings turn off the spa immediately. As a
precaution, long hair should NOT be allowed to
float freely 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, hair dryer
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) Danger:
To reduce the
risk of injury:
a) The water in a spa should never exceed 104°F (40°C). Water temperatures between 100°F (38°C) and 104°F
(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 fetal damage during the early months of
pregnancy, pregnant women should limit spa water temperatures to 100°F (38°C).
c)
Before entering a spa, the user should check the water temperature with an accurate thermometer since the
tolerance of water temperature-regulating devices can vary and not reflect the proper temperature.
d) The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication before or during spa use is prohibited and 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)
Personsusing 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 INFORMATION
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
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
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 ° (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 the circuit
breaker and/or all power to the spa is off.
l) Cover must be kept on
the spa at all times when not in use and locked,
especially if children are present.

Spa 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 (40°C). Immersion in water in excess of 104°F (40°C) 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.
Spa Equipped Safety Devices
Your spa is equipped with
the following safety features
1) Over Heat
Protection- An electronic high limit switch,
located in the spa water, that shuts off the
heater, pumps and accessories when the water
temperature exceeds 112° F (44°C). This function resets
when the spa water temperature drops below 109°
F (42°C).
2) Heater High Limit
Protection- An electronic high limit switch,
located on the heater barrel, which turns off
the heater and low speed pump if it senses a
temperature of 119°F (48°C) greater. Power to the
spa must be interrupted to reset this safety
device.
3) Heater Dry Run
Protection- A water flow sensor that prevents
the heater from turning on until there is
sufficient water flow.
4) Pump Dry Run
Protection- If the pump runs for 10 minutes
and flow is not detected the pump is turned
off.
5) Smart Winter Mode- This freeze protection system will activate
the jet pumps for 1 minute every 2 hours or less
when the temperature in the equipment
compartment drops to 55° F (12°C) or less. Once the
freeze protection system has started, it will
remain active for a 24-hour period.
