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 the spa 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)
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.

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

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) or greater. Power to the spa
