Step #1
Position the spa cover (in closed position) on the spa making sure that all four corners
are properly positioned and square on the spa.
Step #2
Using the #10 x 1-1/2” Mounting Screws, attach the Left and Right Mounting Brackets to
the appropriate sides of the spa (
See Fig. 1
).
Note: the brackets can be mounted directly
on the top rail of the spa or to the sidewall of the spa. Caution: to prevent splitting of
wood cabinets, pre-drill holes with a 1/16” drill bit.
Step #4
Starting with the left side first, lay the long end of the Support Arms on the top of the
cover, lying parallel to the spa cover hinge about 1/2” away. Slide the U-shaped
retainer clip between the two cover halves with the horizontal part touching the
underside of the cover hinge (
See Fig. 3
)
Note: Do not insert the U-shaped retainer
clip in between the seams of the spa cover.
With the left Support Arm lying on the
cover, slide the Center Coupler piece over the long end of the left Support Arm. Next,
slide the long end of the right Support Arm into the center coupler and slide the
U-shaped retainere clip between the two cover halves.
Step #5
Slide the left and right Pivot Arms onto the short end of the Support Arms (
See Fig. 3
).
Note: Do not insert the self-tapping screws at this time, this will be completed in step
#7.
Next, connect the Pivot Arms to the Mounting Brackets (
See Fig. 4
). Be sure to run
the Hex Cap Bolts as pictured.
Note: Lightly tighted the nut so the Pivot Arm moves
freely.
Step #6

Caps over the Ball Stud Lock Nuts.
Note: be sure that the ball is pointing away from
the spa (See Fig. 5).
Step #7
With the Center Coupler and Support Arms adjusted properly (About 1/2” away from
the cover hinge and centered on the spa), use the #10 X 5/8” self tapping screws to
fasten the Support Arms to the Pivot Arms and the Center Coupler to teh Support Arms
(
See Fig. 6
).
Note: be sure to rotate the Center Coupler so that the inserted screws are
at a horizontal angle with the screw head facing the back of the spa.
