Lifting mechanism assembly
1) Put the motor frame in place, usually to the back
of the hot tub entrance. Place the motor frame
according to Figure 43. The standard model will
need the motor frame to be on the short side of
the COVANA cover, whereas the long-side
model will need the motor frame on the long
side of the COVANA cover.
2) IMPORTANT: The steps that follow are side-
specific.
The following steps are for the left-
hand post foot assembly.
3) Install a first foot bracket to its non-motor-side
jack. Make sure to align the foot bracket on the
right side of the U-frame shaft as shown. (Figure
44)
4) Slide the alignment brackets of the foot in the
alignment slots of the non-motor-side jack.
(Figure 44 and Figure 45)
5) Push upwards to lock in place. Ensure full
contact is made along the bottom plate. Using a
rubber mallet may help lock it in place. (Figure
45)
6)
Use the two 1/4″-20 x 2 1/4″ hexagonal bolts,
the nylon-insert lock nuts with the appropriate
socket wrench spanner to fasten the assembly.
To prevent the mechanism from bending
inward, do not overtighten these bolts. Make
sure you respect the orientation of the
fasteners, as shown.
(Figure 46)
7) For the right-hand non-motor-side jack
assembly, repeat steps 3 to 6, putting the foot
bracket on the left side at step 3. (Figure 44)
