IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND
REVIEW THEM REGULARLY.
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
Safety information
The COVANA cover was designed, tested and
certified to be installed over a residential swim spa
and under important installation instructions issued by
COVANA. Any other type of usage will void the
warranty and product certification.
The extra load maximum weight provided in the
specification section of this manual is a provision for
environmental outcomes, such as some snow or
damp leaves that could accumulate on the cover, that
are evenly distributed on the surface of the cover.
The COVANA cover was not designed to support any
additional load or people walking or standing on it.
Failure to observe this instruction will void the
warranty and product certification.
The power safety cover meets ASTM F1346-91
requirements.
DANGER
To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to
use this product unless they are supervised at all
times.
Failure to follow all instructions may result in injury
or even death.
Do not allow people to climb or walk on the cover at
any time.
Do not allow children to have access to the

Never operate the COVANA cover until all people
and objects are out of the spa.
WARNING
Be sure to keep the key switch and the key out of
the reach of children.
Do not put any type of fabric or plastic sheet, such
as a tarpaulin, on the COVANA cover. This could
overheat the cover and result in deformation or
delamination of the cover.
Inspect the cover periodically. It should raise
smoothly and evenly. Contact your COVANA dealer
if any unusual sound is heard during use.
Never use any type of pressure washer or buffer to
clean any surface of the COVANA cover. This could
result in premature wear or damage.
The key switch must be permanently mounted and
located 5 ft. (1.5 m) away from the spa and 5 ft. (1.5
m) above the deck or ground level. Ensure the user
has a clear view of the COVANA cover when
operating it. Furthermore, the key switch terminal
should be located in a place where no water
downpour or debris could fall on it. (Figure 1)
DO
Remove the control key after operating the
COVANA cover. Store the key in a secure location
when not in use. Users must bring the control key
in the hot tub with them to prevent unauthorized
operation of the cover.
Never leave the key in the key switch.
Check the cover frequently for signs of
deterioration.
Have any repairs, adjustments or mechanical work
performed by your authorized COVANA dealer as
soon as possible should you notice a malfunction.
Close the cover when not in use or if the swim spa
is not being monitored.
A COVANA cover should only be operated by an
adult.
This appliance can be used by children aged 8
years and above and persons with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of
experience and knowledge ONLY if they are
supervised or have received instructions regarding
safe use of the cover. Children must not play with
the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance
must not be performed by children without
supervision.

box or AC control box.
Operate the COVANA cover while somebody is in
the swim spa.
Climb, walk or stand on the COVANA cover at any

wear or damage.
CAUTION
Be sure to follow all instructions in this manual and
use only COVANA-approved accessories and
tools.
Do not roll the COVANA cover onto its side or slide
it on its side. This will damage the siding.
After removing any part, always place it in a safe
place on a clean and level surface to ensure proper
functionality.
All four posts of the COVANA cover must be
properly anchored to the swim spa frame using the
tub mounting brackets and arms.
This product mainly contains steel, plastic, copper
(Cu), fiberglass, foam and aluminum (Al). Please
recycle them properly.

backup option, both are powered by a rechargeable
sealed lead acid battery. Please recycle it properly.
Avoiding the risk of electrocution
ELECTRICAL DANGER
Failure to comply with these instructions may result
in death by electrocution or serious injury.
Disconnect or turn off and secure all power supplies
before starting any intervention on the COVANA
cover.
Always have a licensed electrical contractor
perform any electrical maintenance or repairs on
the COVANA cover.
The wiring must comply with all applicable local
electrical codes and regulations.
For AC-operated models: The COVANA operator
must be connected to a circuit that is protected by a
dedicated ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) that
complies with all applicable local electrical codes
and regulations.
Install the COVANA cover in such a way that
drainage directs water away from the electrical
components and base mechanical components.
Do not connect any auxiliary components to the
electrical system of the COVANA cover unless they
have been approved by COVANA.
Replace electrical components with original
components provided or approved by COVANA.
Ask your dealer for replacement parts.
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, replace all
damaged electrical cables immediately. Failure to
do so may result in death or serious personal injury
due to electrocution.
Do not bury any electrical cables. A buried cable
may result in death, or serious personal injury due
to electrocution if direct burial-type cable is not
used, or if improper digging occurs.
WARNING REGARDING DRUG OR
ALCOHOL USE
The use of drugs or alcohol while operating the
COVANA cover is strictly prohibited. The
impairment of judgement, vision or hearing might
affect the safety of other people or result in death.
WARNING REGARDING
MODIFICATIONS TO THE COVANA
COVER
Any modifications to the COVANA cover, such as
mechanical, electrical or aesthetic ones, may cause
the cover to operate in an unwanted or dangerous
way. Furthermore, these modifications might void
the warranty and certification.
The COVANA cover was designed, tested and
certified for the sole purpose of covering and
securing a spa. Any installation that differs in whole
or in part from this purpose will void the warranty
and certification.
