The equipment must be located in an area where it will remain serviceable, dry and will not be exposed to rain, snow or
ground water.
UNLOADING / HANDLING YOUR HOT TUB
All Hydropool hot tubs are shipped with a protec ve combina on layer of foam wrap, cardboard and plas c film. Each hot tub
is factory strapped onto a wood skid. If your hot tub is to be delivered by your local dealer, it will generally arrive on a flat bed
truck or low profile trailer. Most dealers are equipped with the necessary equipment to maneuver the hot tub from the truck
to the dolly or cart that will be used to move your hot tub to the installa on loca on.
Should your hot tub arrive in a common closed box trailer, it may be necessary to arrange with a local towing company for a
lt and load tow truck, with a pulley winch system, to pull the skid from the larger trailer to the lower profile tow truck flat
bed. The hot tub can be gently slid off the low profile trailer and posi oned on its side on a cart or dolly on its back side only.
Most Hydropool models require a clearance width of at least 100 cm. (39 in.) to allow movement of the unit on its side
through alley - ways, fence openings, etc. Where this is not possible, the use of a crane to li the hot tub from the truck or
trailer over the house to the pa o or yard is o en a simple and economical op on.
Important Note: Damage caused during transporta on or by improper handling is not covered by the factory warranty.
