OASIS COVER
ASSEMBLY PREPARATION
WARNING
Before assembling, keep in mind to not over tighten
the screws. Power tools must not be used. The
screws may break if the torque is too much.
1. Install foam spacers on the top of the spa
near each corner. Use the masking tape
provided in the seal bag to keep the spacers
in place. Install at least 3 foam spacers on
each longest side. Do not stack foam spacers
see
Figure 33 .
CAUTION
The foam pieces must be placed on the flat top
surface of the hot tub.

and center it as best as possible. Measure the
spa dimensions and align the long side of the
cover with the longest side of the spa see
Figure 34 . If a LED light kit is included, the
light switch should be placed on the entry side
of the spa.
FIGURE 34: RECTANGULAR COVER

The cover is rectangular Figure 34 . The standard
model will need the motor frame to be on the short
side of the cover, whereas the long-side will need
the motor frame on the long side of the cover.
WARNING
The cover alone weighs approximately 185 lb. (84
kg).

When handling the cover, both people must
support the outer and inner shells with their hands.
A wide grip is best when handling the cover, as all
four sides must be lifted equally.
Three to four people may be required. If the cover
is too heavy to handle, remove the outer shell. Be
careful not to fold the outer shell or scratch it on the
inner steel frame.
