For the Lift ’n Glide

retractable cover system:

slightly lift the cover at front of spa, glide (push back till 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 accendental closure.

NOTE:

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.

NOTE:

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.

3. secure the cover lock straps to the spa and lock them.
