Entrapment Risk

The Consumer Products Safety Commission/USA has reported that users of pools and spas

have become entrapped (stuck) to drain and/or suction ttings causing death, drowning, or seri-

ous injury (see diagram below). This spa was manufactured to meet the standards and specica-

tions outlined in the “Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act” (VGB Safety Act). Entrap-

ment risk can be minimized if proper precautions are taken.

NOTE: SUCTION COVERS MUST BE REPLACED EVERY FIVE YEARS.

DANGER: RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH!

Never operate the spa if a suction tting, suction cover, lter, lter lid or skimmer assembly are

broken, damaged or missing.

DANGER: RISK OF SEVERE INJURY OR DROWNING!

Hair entrapment: May occur if hair is entangled, knotted or snagged in a drain suction or skim-

mer assembly. This has been reported in persons who when submerge themselves underwater,

allowing hair to come close and/or within the reach of the suction ttings, suction covers or skim-

mer assembly.

• Keep hair away from suction ttings, suction covers, lter, lter lid or skimmer assembly.

• Children are at risk for hair entrapment if swimming under water.

• Never allow children to play or get near the suction ttings, suction covers, lter, lter lid or

skimmer assembly.
