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 by an adult at all times.
2) Warning:
A grounding wire connector is provided on this unit to connect a minimum 8 AWG (8.4mm2) solid copper conductor between this unit and any metal equipment, metal enclosure 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 by an adult 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 FITTING.
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 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 (1.5 m) from all metal surfaces. As an alternative, a spa maybe installed within 5 feet (1.5 m) of metal surfaces if, in accordance with the National Electrical Code, each metal surface is permanently connected by a minimum 8 AWG (8.4mm2) 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 appliances such as light, hair dryer, telephone, radio, or television with 5 feet (1.5 m) of the spa. Never operate any electrical appliances from inside the spa or while wet.
8) Danger
- To reduce 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 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 recommended by your local L.A. Spas authorized dealer.
-For models equipped with audio/video system-
11) Caution
- Risk Of Electric Shock:
Do not leave stereo compartment door open.
12) Caution
- Risk Of Electric Shock:

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 (37°C). 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 lower 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.
