INSTALLATION
PREPARATION
To ensure safe use of the COVANA cover, it must be
installed on a properly prepared surface. It is
important to adequately prepare the foundation and
carefully read the following recommendations.
Location considerations

Ensure the future COVANA cover location is not
subjected to water downpour or debris falling from
another roof or covering.

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.

Ensure there are no obstacles, such as branches
or electrical power lines, in the operating range of
the COVANA cover.

Refer to the Technical specifications section for
cover dimensions.

Ensure there is safe access to the hot tub, free of
obstacles or debris.

All the base components of the COVANA cover
must be supported by the foundation.

Do not converge or directly reflect sunlight on the
cover. This could cause permanent damage (i.e.:
reflection by a window).

Ensure the COVANA cover is installed on a clean
surface free of any vegetation, such as grass,
branches or roots, or mineral contaminants, such
as rocks, dust or sand.

The key switch must be permanently mounted
and located 5 ft (1.5 m) away from the hot tub and
5 ft (1.5 m) above the deck or ground level. This
ensures the user has a clear view of the COVANA
cover when operating it. Furthermore, the key
switch terminal should be located in a place
where no water downpour or debris could fall on
it. (Figure 22)
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.

Do not place the cover in an area prone to snow
accumulation and water runoff.
DANGER

Failure to properly install the key switch according
to these instructions could result in injury or even
death.
