21. To test the GFCI, press the "test" button while the hydrotherapy spa is running. The spa should shut off. Press the "reset" button. The spa should resume normal operation. If the spa continues to run after the "test" button is pressed, then the GFCI is damaged. Do not use the spa until the GFCI has been repaired or replaced by a qualified electrician. 22. DANGER-Risk of electric shock: Do not set up the hydrotherapy spa within five feet (1.5 m) of any metal objects or surfaces. As an alternative, you may use the spa within five feet (1.5 m) of metal objects if each metal object is permanently connected to the bonding LUG on the supply terminal box of this unit by a minimum No. 6 AWG (13.3 mm2) solid copper conductor. At least two lugs marked "BONDING LUGS" are provided on the external surface or on the inside of the supply terminal box or compartment. To reduce the risk of electric shock, connect the local common bonding grid in the area of the spa to these terminals with an insulated or bare copper conductor not smaller than 6 AWG. All field-installed metal components such as rails, ladders, drains, or other similar hardware within ten feet (3 m) of the spa shall be bonded to the equipment grounding bus with copper conductors not smaller than 6 AWG. 23. A green colored terminal or a terminal marked G, GR, Ground, Grounding, or with the symbol is located inside the supply terminal box or compartment. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this terminal must be connected to the grounding means provided in the electric supply service panel with a continuous copper wire equivalent in size to the circuit conductors supplying this equipment. 24. Minimum Electrical Ratings: • 120 Volt Minimum Conductor Ampacity: 15 Amps • 120 Volt Minimum Breaker/Fuse: 15 Amps 25. Do not operate the pump motor when the spa is empty. The pump motor may be seriously damaged if it is operated without water circulating. 26. DANGER-Risk of drowning: Exercise extreme caution to prevent unauthorized and unsupervised use of the hydrotherapy spa by children. Children must always be supervised. 27. DANGER-To reduce the risk of drowning: • Never use the hydrotherapy spa alone; • Children should not use the spa unless they are supervised by an adult; • Keep pets away from the spa at all times; • Always replace and lock the spa cover when the spa is not in use. 28. WARNING-To reduce the risk of injury: The water temperature should never exceed 104°F (40°C). Water temperature in excess of 100°F (38°C) may be injurious to your health. If you plan to remain in the hydrotherapy spa for more than 10 to 15 minutes, lower the temperature to 100°F (38°C) or below. Lower temperatures are also recommended for children. Children should not be allowed to swim under the surface of the water in the spa. 29. WARNING-To reduce the risk of injury: Always use an accurate thermometer to determine the water temperature before using the hydrotherapy spa. 30. DANGER-To reduce the risk of drowning: Prolonged immersion in the hydrotherapy spa may cause hyperthermia, a dangerous condition that occurs when the internal body temperature rises several degrees above the normal body temperature of 98.6°F (37°C). The symptoms of hyperthermia include nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, and fainting. Effects include: a lack of awareness, inability to perceive heat or danger, and a greater risk of drowning due to a loss of consciousness. Special note: Individuals suffering from hyperthermia may be unable to realize that they must exit the spa, and they also may be physically unable to do so. 31. WARNING-To reduce the risk of drowning: Do not use the hydrotherapy spa if you are under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Heat from the water, in conjunction with alcohol or drugs can cause loss of consciousness. 32. WARNING-To reduce the risk of injury or drowning: Consult your physician about possible side-effects of any medications you may be taking before using the hydrotherapy spa. Heat from the water, in conjunction with some medications, may cause drowsiness and increase the risk of drowning. Others can effect blood pressure, heart rate, and circulation. 4
