American Safety Information
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
The following basic safety precautions should always be followed when you are installing, or are
using, this equipment:
• Safeguard All Children At All Times. Never permit children to use this Aquatic Fitness System
without adult supervision. Always ensure that there is a responsible adult who is competent
in the operation of the Aquatic Fitness System accompanying any child who may use this
Aquatic Fitness System. Always ensure that children are closely supervised at all times in
the vicinity of the Aquatic Fitness System.
• Risk of Accidental Drowning. Extreme caution must be exercised to prevent unauthorized
access by children. To avoid accidents, ensure that children cannot use this Aquatic Fitness
System unless they are supervised at all times.
• Risk of Serious Injury or Death. To prevent hair or body entrapment, never operate or use
the Aquatic Fitness System if any of the suction fittings is broken or missing. The suction
fittings of this Aquatic Fitness System are sized to match the specific water flow created by
the circulation and jet pumps. Never replace a suction fitting with one rated less than the
flow rate marked on the original suction fitting. Should the need arise to replace any suction
fittings or the pump(s), be sure that any work if performed by an authorized Aquatic Fitness
System service agent and that flow rates are compatible.
• Danger: A wire connector marked “Ground” is provided within the power box. To reduce
the risk of electric shock, connect this terminal of connector to the grounding terminal of
your electrical service or supply panel with a continuous green insulating copper wire
equivalent in size to the circuit conductors supplying this equipment, but no smaller than No.
8 AWG (8.4 mm
2 ). In addition, a second wire connector is provided for bonding to local
ground points. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this connector should be bonded with
a No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm
2 ) copper wire to any metal ladders, water pipes, or other metal within
five feet (1.52 m) of the spa.
• Risk of Electric Shock. Install at least 5 FEET (1.5m) from all metal surfaces. As an
alternative, an Aquatic Fitness System may be installed within 5 feet (1.5m) of metal surfaces
if each metal surface is permanently connected by a minimum No. 8 AWG (8.4mm²) solid
copper conductor attached to the wire connector on the grounding lug, inside the
equipment compartment on the equipment can.
• Risk of Electric Shock. Do not permit any electrical appliance, such as a light, telephone,
radio, television, etc., within 5 feet (1.5m) of the Aquatic Fitness System.
• To Reduce the Risk of Injury. The water in an Aquatic Fitness System 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 when
using the Aquatic Fitness System for exercise, swimming, when total use will exceed 10
minutes, or anytime young children are present in the Aquatic Fitness System.
• To Reduce the Risk of Injury. Excessive water temperatures have a high potential for
causing fetal damage during the early months of pregnancy. Pregnant or possibly pregnant
women should limit spa water temperatures to 100°F (≅38°C). It is recommended that a
physician be consulted before using an Aquatic Fitness System if you are or possibly could
be pregnant.
• To Reduce the Risk of Injury. Before entering an Aquatic Fitness System the user should
measure the water temperature with an accurate thermometer since the tolerance of water
temperature-regulating devices may vary as much as +- 5°F (≅2°C).
• To Reduce the Risk of Injury. The use of alcohol, drugs or medication before or during
Aquatic Fitness System use may lead to unconsciousness with the possibility of drowning.
