Important Safety Instructions WARNING: To reduce the risk of drowning, electric shock, or serious injury, read the following important precautions before using the hydrotherapy spa. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS 1. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure that all users of the hydrotherapy spa are adequately informed of all precautions. 2. Use the hydrotherapy spa only as described in this manual. 3. The hydrotherapy spa is intended for home use only. Do not use the spa in any commercial, rental, or institutional setting. 4. Use the hydrotherapy spa only on a level surface. Do not use the spa on carpet or other materials that could be damaged by moisture, or on rough or sharp surfaces such as gravel or wood chips. 5. The hydrotherapy spa will weigh approximately 1,800 pounds when it is filled with water. Make sure the location you select for the hydrotherapy spa will support this weight, plus the weight of the occupants. 6. Inspect and tighten all parts regularly. Replace any worn parts immediately. 7. DANGER-Risk of injury: Do not remove or alter the covers on the suction fittings. Never operate the hydrotherapy spa if the suction guard is missing or broken. If you need to replace a suction fitting or pump, make sure the flow rate of the replacement is compatible. Keep hair and body parts away from the suction guard. Do not allow long hair to float freely in the water; long hair should be restrained with a bathing cap. 8. IMPORTANT: Do not allow the hydrotherapy spa to be exposed to direct sunlight when it is empty. The surface of the spa shell can reach temperatures as high as 150°F in a matter of minutes if exposed to the sun while it is empty. These high temperatures can cause significant damage, such as blistering of the shell surface and warping of the spa shell. Any damage caused by sun exposure is not covered under the warranty. 10. Never insert any object into any opening. 11. Do not use breakable containers in or near the hydrotherapy spa. 12. Do not sit on the spa cover or place objects on it; it is not designed to support weight. 13. Remove any water or debris that may collect on the spa cover. 14. Keep children under the age 12 and pets away from the hydrotherapy spa when it is not in use. 15. Keep all chemicals away from children and pets. 16. The pH and chemical balance of the water must be maintained as explained in this manual (see pages 10 and 14). Failure to do so may cause injury to users or damage to the spa, and it will void the warranty. 17. Individuals with infections and open sores or wounds should not use the hydrotherapy spa. Bacteria thrive in warm and hot water. Always keep the spa disinfected and maintain the proper chemical balance. 18. Shower before and after using the hydrotherapy spa. This will remove any deodorant, perspiration, or body oils that could contaminate the water. Showering after will remove any residual chemicals and will also remove any bacteria that may have been in the spa. 19. DANGER-When connecting the power cord (see PLUGGING IN THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA on page 10), plug the power cord directly into a grounded circuit capable of carrying 15 or more amps. No other appliance should be on the same circuit. Replace the power cord immediately if damaged. 20. Do not use an extension cord with the hydrotherapy spa. This could damage the motor and will void the warranty. 9. Do not bring any object into the hydrotherapy spa that could damage the spa shell. 21. DANGER-If you will be using the hydrotherapy spa outside, do not bury the power cord; 3
