on the spa, making sure that all four corners
are properly positioned and square on the spa.

If you want 75% of the spa cover standing above spa
surface in the open position, place the Mounting
Brackets (G) 8” (20cm) down from the top of the spa
shell and approximately 9” (23cm) clearance behind
the spa will be needed.
See Figure 1.
Before attaching the right & left Mounting
Brackets (G) to the appropriate side of the
spa, place the brackets where you will want
them positioned on the spa and mark the holes
with a marker. (SEE PRO TIP)
CAUTION: To prevent splitting a wood cabinet,
pre-drill holes with a 1/16” drill bit

shell, approximately 15” (38cm) clearance behind the
spa will be needed.
Attach the Mounting Brackets (E) to the left
and right sides of the spa with the #10 x 1”
Mounting Screws. See Figure 2.

How to Use
How to OPEN your spa cover
1. Fold spa cover onto itself.
2. Lift the Lifter and spa cover to upright position by lifting at
the Foam Grip on the Support Arm (B), while supporting
the middle of the cover with the other hand. The Pivot Arm
will stop when it contacts the Mounting Bracket (E).
How to CLOSE your spa cover
1. With the spa cover in the upright position, hold the Foam
Grip on the Support Arm (B), and slowly guide the cover
and Lifter onto the spa shell. NEVER allow the spa cover to
fall onto the spa shell unassisted, as it can cause damage
to your Lifter, spa, and/or spa cover!
2. Unfold the spa cover off itself and engage the spa cover
locks if available.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE THE COVER LIFT IN HIGH WIND
CONDITIONS. DOING SO COULD CAUSE THE COVER
TO FALL. DAMAGE TO THE SPA/COVER/COVER LIFT,
OR INJURY TO THE OCCUPANTS MAY OCCUR. NEVER
LEAVE AN UNCOVERED HOT TUB OR SPA UNATTENDED.
