AVOIDING THE RISK TO CHILDREN
SPA SAFETY REMINDERS
DANGER:
• RISK OF CHILD DROWNING. Extreme caution must be exercised to prevent unau-
thorized access by children. To avoid accidents, ensure that children cannot use a spa
unless they are supervised at all times.
WARNING:
• To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this spa unless they are
closely supervised at all times.
• To reduce the risk of injury, lower water temperatures are recommended for young
children. Children are especially sensitive to hot water.
DO:
• Make sure you always lock the child resistant locks after using the spa for your
children’s safety. Every Saratoga Spa is equipped with a locking cover that meets the
ASTM F1346-91 Standard for Safety Covers.
• Test the water temperature with your hand before allowing children to enter the spa to
be sure that it’s comfortable. Children are especially sensitive to hot water.
• Remind children that wet surfaces can be very slippery. Make sure that children are
careful when entering or exiting the spa.
DON’T:
• Allow children to climb onto the spa cover.
• Allow children to have unsupervised access to the spa.
AVOIDING THE RISK OF ELECTROCUTION
Risk of electrocution
• Connect only to a grounded source.
• Do not bury the power cord. A buried power cord may result in death, or serious
personal injury due to electrocution if direct burial-type cable is not used, or if improper
digging occurs.
• A ground terminal (pressure wire connector) is provided on the control box inside the
unit to permit connection of a minimum No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm) solid copper bonding
conductor between this point and any metal equipment, metal water pipe, metal enclo-
sures of electrical equipment, or conduit within five feet (1.5 m) of the unit as needed to
comply with local requirements.
WARNING:
• To reduce the risk of electrical shock, replace a damaged cord immediately. Failure to do
so may result in death or serious personal injury due to electrocution.
