Position Cover Plate  over the Mounting Bracket and with a Phillips handheld screwdriver and secure the Machine Screws

into the 2 center holes. Then install the Rubber Sleeve onto the Safety Stop.

REPEAT STEPS 1 THROUGH 2 ON THE OTHER SIDE

Position all four corners of the Cover squarely on of Spa.

Position a Teflon Washer over the “Boss” closest to the rear of the spa and below the 

“Safety Stop”. Then Position the Swing Arm on the Boss. Make certain the extended 

portion of the Swing Arm is positioned towards the interior of the spa (See Fig 8). 

Then over the center hole position place a 2nd Teflon Washer, followed by a Machined 

Washer, then a Lock Washer, and secure with 5/16 Hex Bolt. Tighten until the Lock 

Washer is compressed.

Slide the Adjustable Bracket onto the Swing Arm (See Fig 8) making certain the 

larger oblong hole is positioned toward the bottom and towards the rear of the 

spa when the Swing Arm is in the up position. 
NOTE: Leave Adjustable Bracket Unsecured.

Slide the longer side of the “Crossover Bar” through the Upper Clamp then slide 

the shorter side of the “Crossover Bar” into the Swing Arm (See fig 9, 9B) with the 

Adjustable Bracket on it. Position the Clamp on top of the cover above the slit and 

as close to the cover fold as possible.
NOTE: Leave both the Swing Arm and “Crossover Bar unsecured.

IMPORTANT : If length of the cover on fold side is less than 78” you may have 

to cut Swing Arm using a tube cutter. This can be determined by following 

instructions in Step 8 (position “Cross Over-Bar and “Upper Clamp” over cover 

slit and slide in the “Swing Arm”). If cutting is required, make certain to 

measure and allow at least 4” of the Swing Arm to pass into the Crossover Bar 

so that it is visible through all of the pre-drilled holes.

IMPORTANT : If the width of the cover is less than 66”, than it will require 

cutting both sides of the Crossover Bars equally to accommodate the short 

width, along with possibly shortening the Extension Tube if necessary.
