Allow the Ultralift to rest on the spa cover. The
center pole is located 1 inch from the middle seam
of the spa cover on the lifter side. Attach the
center pole to the side support arms using six of
the #10 - 5/8” self tapping screws. Pre-drilling
through the side support arms is advised. We
recommend rotating the center pole so that the
screws are inserted horizontally.

TIP
If you purchase your tub with a
Composite Cabinet, (rather than
wood) reinforcing the inside of
your cabinet when screwing the
rear ball stud bracket into it will
strengthen the attachment.

STEP 1 - POSITION THE SPA COVER
Parts Required:
- Spa Pool Cover
1
Determine which side of the spa you want to
install the Vision Lift on. The cover will fold as
per the diagram above.
2
Position the spa cover in the closed position
on the spa in your desired orientation.
Make sure that the four corners are evenly
positioned and it’s sitting square.
STEP 2 - DETERMINE THE MOUNTING BRACKET POSITION
Where the Mounting Brackets are installed on the cabinet is determined by the distance from
the back edge of the spa pool to the ‘pivot point’.
Use the table below to nd the pivot point distance (X) for your spa pool model:
X
Spa Model Pivot Point Distance
(X)
Nova, Aspen,
Whistler, Blackburn, Summit
Matterhorn 40cm
37cm
Pivot Point
Vancouver 42cm
Munro, K2 45cm
X = pivot point distance
TIP – This guide references specic Alpine Spa models. Non-Alpine Spa pools should
follow the original Vision Lift instructions.
