Spa Cover Installation
WARNING! AVOID DROWNING RISK
 Failure to follow instructions may result in injury or drowning.
 Non-secured covers are a hazard.
 Keep children away. People or objects cannot be seen under the cover.
 Because of entrapment possibility, remove cover completely before entry of bathers.
 Excess weight can break the insulating foam, bend the steel reinforcement and damage the cover. Do not allow people or pets to stand or sit
on the cover. Do not allow loads such as snow, leaves or anything else to accumulate on the cover. Do not use the cover as a table.
Caution, to avoid damage to the cover always remove the cover while adding chemicals to the spa water. This will prevent damaging chemical vapors
from being trapped under the spa cover. These vapors can prematurely damage the cover material and void the warranty.
When properly installed, the cover supplied with your spa meets the Manual Safety Cover requirements of ASTM F1346-91.
If you are installing your spa near a wall or with any type of structure on the outside, such as a gazebo, remember to allow access for cover removal.
To deter entrapment by somebody slipping under the cover, ensure that all latches supplied with the cover are securely screwed to the cabinet,
straps are inserted into the latches, the latches are locked and the key is kept in a secure location.
Keep the spa covered when not in use to deter entry by unauthorized persons, reduce the loss of heat, and keep out rain and to keep foreign
materials from settling in the water.
Follow these steps to properly install the cover.
1. Place the spa cover on top of the spa. Ensure the cover flaps and straps are not under the cover. Ensure the cover is properly seated in its
final position.
2. Each strap is supplied with a cabinet latch snapped in place. Leave the cabinet latches at the end of the straps, but remove the bag
containing the screws and while lightly pulling downward on a strap, mark the center bottom of the latch (fig 1). A piece of tape may be a
good method to do this. Mark each remaining strap in the same way.
3. Remove the strap by pinching the two barbs of the strap as indicated (fig 2).
4. Hold the cabinet latch on the mark and using a Phillips screwdriver, drive three screws through the holes in the cabinet latch and into the
outside of the spa (fig 3).
5. While the spa is not in use place the cover on top of the spa and snap all straps into the cabinet latches. To further protect against entry,
lock each latch by quarter turning the key clockwise (fig 4). Store the key in a secure place.
