36 INSTALLATION INSTALLATION MANUAL
Testing the Oasis cover
1) Plug in the COVANA cover. (Have a certified
electrician complete the electrical hook-up
and refer to the Electrical Diagrams section
in the APPENDIX).
WARNING

All electrical connections must be done by a
certified electrician.
2) Ensure there is no object directly above the
cover or in its lifting path while performing this
test. Refer to the instructions in the
Limit Switch
Adjustment section if adjustments are required.
3) Use the key switch to lift it about 8 in (20 cm)
and stop. Make sure the cover is lifting equally
(no corners are higher than the others).
4) Lower the cover down completely and make
sure the cover is touching the foam pieces all
around the hot tub perimeter.
5) Lift the cover all the way up and pay attention
for any unusual sounds (metal screeching or
knocking). If so, consult the
Troubleshooting
section or contact your local dealer.
6) Lower the cover and ensure it stops at the point
of contact with all foam spacers on the hot tub.
If not, adjust the corner brackets (follow steps 3
to 7 in the
Lifting mechanism assembly
(continued) section.
7) Check whether the posts are still level before
anchoring. Use the 48
″ (122 cm) level.
8) Each of the four jacks on the COVANA cover
must
be properly anchored to the foundation using at
least two of the pre-drilled holes located on the
cover of each post.
(Anchors not supplied) Use a 1/4 in (6 mm)
concrete anchor for concrete pads or a 1/4 in (6
mm) lag bolt for wood foundations and insert a
minimum of 1 1/4 in (30 mm) deep.
9) The optional non-permanent mounting plates
can be used when anchoring is not possible.
They are not designed for windy areas.
WARNING

The non-permanent mounting plates can only be
used in areas with low winds.

The non-permanent mounting plates must be
properly installed.
(See non-permanent mounting
plates installation section.)
10) Permanently mount the key switch. The key
switch must be located 5 ft (1,5 m) away from
the hot tub and 5 ft (1,5m) above the deck or
ground lever. (Figure 22) Ensure the user has a
clear view of the COVANA cover when
operating it.
Cut the power when installing
the key switch.
CAUTION

When operating, the user must always have a
clear view of the COVANA cover and its
surroundings.
WARNING

Failure to permanently install the key switch as
indicated could cause serious injury or even
death and void the warranty and certification.
Only proper installation of the key switch
combined with the suggested procedures and
caution will reduce such risks.

Ensure that the base of the COVANA cover is not
in a flood zone. Any damage caused by flooding
or water accumulation will not be covered under
the warranty.

The key switch terminal should be located in a
place where no water or debris could fall on it.
