Spa Care and Maintenance
2. If no rear access is available, stand to the side of the spa directly
adjacent to the hinge area of the folded cover.
a.
For the COVERCRADLE retractable cover systems:
Using
both hands, cup one hand under the lower half of the cover
(just above the water) and place the other along the side of
the cover, just above the skirt. Gently push (do not lift) with
both hands towards the opposite rear corner of the cover
(diagonally). As the cover opens, the gas springs will allow the
cover to come to a gentle stop.
b.
For the UPRITE
retractable cover system:
Simply lift the
cover at its center hinge, allowing it to move to the back of the
spa and to rest gently there.
c.
For the LIFT ’N GLIDE
retractable cover system:
Slightly
lift the cover at front of spa, glide (push back until it stops), fold
cover in half and lift cover moving it to the back of the spa.
Insert locking pin into side of lifter to prevent accidental closure.
IMPORTANT:
When opening a cover with a retractable cover system, only
use one of these three specific methods. Do not attempt to open the cover
in any other way. Damage caused by improper opening or closing of the
cover is not covered under the terms of the limited warranty.
HOW TO CLOSE THE COVER
1. Standing along side the cover, place one hand on the upper corner
of the cover and gently push forward in the direction of the spa. The
cover will rotate forward to cover half of the spa.
IMPORTANT:
For the UPRITE or LIFT ’N GLIDE retractable cover
system, disengage the locking mechanism(s) before pushing the cover
forward.
2. Unfold the cover by lifting the handle located on the top (front) half of
the cover. Allow the unfolded half to fall down onto the spa. The air
pressure created by the cover falling will keep the vinyl skirting from
being trapped between the cover and the spa shell.
