HOW TO OPEN THE VINYL COVER
IMPORTANT:
Never attempt to open or remove the vinyl cover by
grasping or pulling on the skirting or cover lock straps. The skirting will
tear, and torn skirting is not covered under the terms of the warranty.
Check for ice build-up around the gas springs and pivot points of
the retractable cover system. Ice buildup may damage system
components.
WARNING:
The vinyl cover and retractable cover system are not
recommended for use in wind conditions reaching above 40 kmh (25 mph).
IMPORTANT:
If your spa is located in an area susceptible to high
winds, additional coverlock straps may be installed to minimize wind
damage to the cover.
1. With the cover lock straps unfastened, place one hand under the
cover skirting, between the spa and cover, to break the cover’s
vacuum seal. Then, fold the front half of the cover over onto the back
half.
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.
