WARNING
Failure to permanently install the key switch as
indicated could void the warranty and certification.
Only proper installation of the key switch combined
with the suggested procedures and caution will
reduce such risks.
Do not install the cover in an area prone to snow
accumulation and water run-off.
FOUNDATION PREPARATION
The cover requires a clean, flat and level surface
such as an engineered wood deck or a concrete slab.
Each of the four jacks of the cover must be properly
anchored to the foundation using at least one of the
holes located on the foot of each post. Use a 1/4'' (6
mm) concrete anchor bolt for concrete pads or a 1/4''
(6 mm) lag bolt for wood foundations and insert at
least 1 1/4'' (30 mm) deep (tag bolts and anchor bolts
are not included). If you cannot meet these
requirements,
install a set of non- permanent
mounting plates. See NON- PERMANENT
MOUNTING PLATE section for more information.
For an existing foundation, refer to the Technical
Specifications section to see the diagram.
FIGURE 11: FOUNDATION DIAGONAL
WARNING
The non-permanent mounting plates can only be
used in areas with low winds (less than 30 mph (50
km/h) in open position and less than 45 mph (70
km/h) in closed position).
The non-permanent mounting plates must also be
properly installed.
The cover requires a solid foundation. The
foundation for the cover must be able to support at
least 600 lb. (272 kg).
The foundation must be leveled with a maximum
tolerance of 1'' (25 mm) over a diagonal section as
shown
in Figure 11 . Refer to Technical
Specifications section for information on the
minimum base size of the foot print.
The annual variation in levelness for the same
diagonal section cannot exceed 1/4'' (6 mm)
CAUTION
Damage caused by inadequate foundation
construction is not covered by the Covana
warranty. It is the responsibility of the owner to
provide a proper foundation.
Failure to follow these guidelines might cause
permanent damage or improper functioning of the
cover. Such damage might not be covered by the
warranty.
