24 INSTALLATION INSTALLATION MANUAL
Cover assembly
WARNING

Before assembling the cover, keep in mind not
to overtighten bolts. Power tools must not be
used. The bolts will break or strip under too
much torque.
1) Attach the foam spacers to the top of the hot tub
near each corner using the masking tape
provided in the seal pack. There must be at least
two foam spacers per side. Do not stack two
pieces of foam. (Figure 40)
CAUTION
•
The foam pieces must be placed on the flat top
surface of the hot tub.
2) Place the escape hatch panel on the rear end of
the hot tub. (Figure 41)
CAUTION
•
Ensure that the seal around the escape hatch
opening is on top and that the
‘’top’’ label
located in the panel’s hole is pointing upwards.
•
If you have colored panels, make sure the
colored side is on top and the white side is on
the foam pieces.
3) Pre-assemble the I to C long connection plate
with 1/4-20 x 1 in. button head screws and 1/4
washers on the 91 11/16 in. (233 cm) C-channel.
(Figure 42) Repeat for the second 91 11/16 in.
(233 cm) C-channel.
CAUTION
•
Do not completely tighten the screws.
4) Assemble these C-channels over the previously
placed fiberglass panel so that the screws on the
C-channels are offset toward the rear of the hot
tub. Use the center label to align the center of C-
channel with the edge of the panel. (Figure 43)
Note: It is recommended to slightly engage the top
flange before the bottom flange when sliding the C-
channel onto the foam panel. (Figure 43)
WARNING

When assembling the C-channel onto the
panel, be careful not to delaminate the
fiberglass.
