OWNER'S MANUAL
Important reminders:
• Do
unlock and release all cover locks before attempting to open cover .
• Do
remove snow buildup to avoid damage of the foam core from the additional weight of the
snow (not covered under warranty) .
• Do
lock cover lock straps to secure the cover when the spa is not in use .
• Do not
drag or lift the spa cover using either the flaps, or the cover tie downs .
• Do not
walk, stand, or sit on the cover .
Important:
Whenever the spa is not in use it is essential that the thermal cover be kept in place . When
filled this ensures effective temperature maintenance and economical operation . When empty
this prevents potential damage to the spas surface finish that can result from excessive heat
caused by the sun . This type of damage is specifically excluded from warranty protection . It is
recommended that the thermal cover tie downs always be used to discourage access to the spa by
unsupervised children and minimize heat loss .
*The spa cover manufacturer handles all warranty claims . Conquest Spas does not handle any
warranty issues on the spa cover . Every Conquest Spas model is equipped with a locking cover
that meets the ASTM F1346-91 standard for safety covers .
