With Cover in the closed position hand screw one of the Ball Studs facing outward onto the open interior Boss on the Mounting
Bracket and securely tighten with wrench. Then install the 2nd Ball Stud on Hole #1 of the Swing Arm and secure it with a Nylon Lock
Nut utilizing two wrenches (See Fig 14).
Lift the cover into the open position (this will require
effort since the gas springs have yet been installed)
and install the large barrel of a Gas Spring into the Ball
Stud on the Swing Arm and the narrow barrel into the
Ball Stud on the Mounting Bracket
(See Fig 15).
Gas springs should snap onto Ball Studs.
With the Cover in the open position use the 1/8” bit
to pre-drill into the two bottom holes on the
Adjustable Bracket and then secure with two Self
Taping Screws (See Fig 15)
Install all Small Plastic Covers X on all the Self Taping Screws,
Medium Plastic Covers on the bolts to the Clamping Brackets and
Adjustable Brackets, Large Plastic Covers on the Swing Arm Bolts.
Install Large Plastic Plug L into the side of the Crossover Bar that
does not have the Handle. Install the other Plastic Plugs on the
open ends of the Rear Support Bars if they extend beyond the
pocket of the Cover.
Install the female part to the Locking Straps to the Hot Tub
Cabinet making certain that they each match up with the extended
Male Part (See Fig 17).
NOTE: Hole # 1 is most preferred because it requires the least amount of pressure to raise the cover. Hole #3 requires the least
amount of pressure to close the cover. Moving from one hole to the other can easily be done later. Also, the Lower Hole you use the
further back the cover will sit.
