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 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
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
(1.5M) 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.
HYPERTHERMIA INFORMATION

internal temperature of the
body reaches a level several
degrees above normal body temperature
of 98.6 °F(37°C).
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
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.
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

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)
or 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 5 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.
